Making a Cappuccino using my Dolce Gusto Piccolo espresso machine

Making a cappuccino with my new Dolce Gusto Piccolo espresso machine. As the instructions says, milk first so it layers. Great cappuccino and great coffee!

I clicked 'dislike' for this video for the simple reason that you have put music on it which prevents the viewer from evaluating the noise of the machine during operation. Also, you seem to take some time before doing the actions which makes it harder to calculate the total time needed to brew a cup of coffee. I am still not convinced that these machines are worth their money as I can make a cafe crema using my instant coffee, an aerolatte machine and some hot water.

@TheZontania Hello there. Thanks for your comment. Actually, if you look closely there's a red light flashing on the left side, that's why I'm waiting before starting the process. When it turns green, you can start making your coffee. That's the time for the machine to heat up when you turn it on. After that it is pretty fast.

About the noise, the machine is quite quiet.

I think it was worth the money. The capsules are a bit expensive, but the espresso is excelent!

Hope it helped!

@gabrielsl Can you please tell me if you wanted to make a mug of coffee and you just let more water pass through the pod, would that coffee taste as strong as McDonald's coffee? I hate McD's coffee, I find it impossibly strong and 6 packs of sugar later and lots of milk, I still struggle to drink it. I usually take 1 heaped tsp of instant coffee with half a mug of water and the rest of milk. Would you be so kind as to try and describe the coffee strength? Thanks in advance.

@TheZontania I've had my machine for over a year and it hasn't had any problems yet! But notice that this one here is the Dolce Gusto, and not Nespresso. Nespresso coffee is way better, truly. I don't like McDonald's coffee either, and neither Starbucks', they're simply not strong enough for me! The advantage of these machines is that they have several types of coffee pods, including an intense espresso that's very good, so you can buy pods that suit your taste better.

Essas duas cápsulas que você usou são vendidas em kits separados ou fazem parte do kit para capuccino?

These two capsules that you put to make a drink, are only sold separately or comes in the same kit for capuccino?

@cckyky Olá. Obrigado pelo comentário. Então, as capsulas são vendidas separadamente. São vendidas caixas com capsulas para capuccino, para expresso, mochoccino, etc. Sempre estão lançando novos sabores. Qualquer coisa, é só perguntar.

This is a huge cappuccino. Here in Iceland Cappuccino is no more than 5-6oz

@gabrielsl Thanks for your reply. I have watched several videos today and can say that the Nespresso machines are probably the quietest of the lot with the exception of one brand that is not on sale in this country. I am feeling worried though because Nespresso owners who have had their machines for a couple of years are reporting leakages and gradual deterioration of the coffee supply system. I am in two minds about going for a Nespresso. My research continues!

hi! i have a question: what if you don't choose to use all the contents of a capsule. What do you do then? Can they be reused or something?

[iOtameganeKun]

Do the capsules tell the coffee machine what to make?
