![]() ![]() The Starbucks Verismo system packs the most real coffee essence in pod form, but the Dolce Gusto is pleasantly satisfactory. Most of the coffee drinkers in our appliance reviews office, myself include, were pleasantly surprised by what the machine served up.Įven though certain aspects of Dolce Gusto drinks I sampled had an artificial twinge I didn't care for, especially ones with lots of frothy milk, I prefer the coffee from this machine over K-Cup brew. That doesn't mean the Mini Me doesn't do an admirable job of slinging very drinkable espresso-style beverages - it does. The Mini Me makes decent espresso-like drinks. This stick-like knob, placed on the top-rear region of the Mini Me's orb head, acts more like a lever that you pull either left or right depending on whether you desire a cold or hot drink. The Mini Me's round face also contains a circular power button along with a water switch, which is a bit of a misnomer. Worse, this gadget doesn't support Nespresso capsules either, Nestle's other coffee pod brand. If you crave full grande or venti cups, or coffee by the put, then this is not the brewer for you.Īnother word of caution is that the Mini Me is only compatible with Dolce Gusto pods so dropping in K-Cups from third parties is out of the question. As a result the device tops out at dispensing beverages of 8 ounces or less, at least in one go. It's not unlike the Starbucks Verismo or the Nespresso VertuoLine. Flatter than Keurig K-Cups, Dolce Gusto capsules are designed to emulate a concentrated espresso-style brew as opposed to coffee pod appliances meant to make standard drip coffee. ![]() The front of the machine houses a capsule tray which accepts beverage pods compatible with Nestle's Dolce Gusto system. It might be petite but the Mini Me packs all the parts necessary for creating coffee drinks in a jiffy. ![]()
