I want to love this machine. If you are considering purchasing the Dolce Gusto machine I STRONGLY suggest you sample the coffee first (I think Sur La Table has demo machines). Here's what I like about the machine:
* The design is sleek.
* It's well made and sturdy.
* The machine heats the water up really fast- once you turn it you're ready to make coffee in well under a minute.
* The machine is incredibly easy to use. (see attached video for a demo of a cappuccino)
* No real cleanup required after each use.
Now for the bad...
* The machine comes with a latte macchiato glass, a cappuccino cup and saucer. Unfortunately the packaging was very poor (not enough bubble wrap) and the saucer arrived cracked.
* The coffee is horrible. As good as the physical machine is... it is only as good as the coffee it makes. All the milk based Dolce Gusto drinks are excessively sweet, taste artificial and have a ton of sugar and have anywhere from 3.5g-6g of fat.
*The non-milk drinks are very disappointing as well. Both the espresso and lungo aren't very strong and taste very average.
I have posted video demonstrations for each of the drinks in my reviews of :
* Cappuccino
* Espresso
* Chococino
* Caffe Lungo
* Latte Macchiato

Product Description:
Brew a fresh cup of gourmet coffee in less than a minute with this single-serve coffee machine. The appliance works with pre-ground, pre-sealed coffee capsules containing 100-percent Arabica fine ground coffee. Use one capsule for coffee or two capsules for cappuccino, slide the custom-control lever to the desired coffee strength, and it takes care of the rest. With 15 bars of pump pressure and a Thermobloc pump and heating element, the machine delivers perfect pressure and water temperature to ensure cafe-quality results. Choose from a wide variety of beverages including espresso, frothy cappuccino, latte, cafe lungo, and chococino. For added convenience, there's no messy grinding or clean up--simply throw away the used capsule and insert another. Cup after cup can be enjoyed without any crossing-over of flavors from one drink to the next. Other details include a 51-ounce removable water tank, a magnetic pod holder, a metal cast puncture and brew levers, unique hot and cold manual capability, and an adjustable/removable drip tray to accommodate any height cup or glass. The single-serve coffee machine measures 8-2/5 by 12-2/5 by 13 inches.
