QUOTE(nebula87 @ Dec 17 2018, 01:50 PM) The coffee taste from Nespresso is more bold ("Kaw") than those from Dolce Gusto. Thanks for your reply.Dolce Gusto like no "kick" at all. more like a sole designer's coffee machine and doesn't focus on taste... I tasted Nespresso's coffee yesterday in their boutique, but didn't have the chance to test Dolce Gusto's. Apart from the kaw-ness of the coffee, any other pros and cons of both brands? |

QUOTE(okyjace @ Dec 17 2018, 01:53 PM) Nespresso and Dolce Gusto are both owned by Nestle. Just targeting different market segments. I have both machines. Both give me better coffee than instant coffee. Nespresso better variety but twice the price. Ultimately, I find the espresso coffee machines produce the best coffee with good quality freshly ground beans. Taste wise, which one do you find it better? |

QUOTE(sunami @ Dec 17 2018, 01:53 PM) Yes, can purchase online or via their mobile app.As convenient as it may sound, it does come with a catch: minimum purchase ($70 in Singapore) for free delivery. Malaysia only has one outlet, if I am not wrong, and that is in KL. People from Penang and Ipoh need to go all the way to KL just to buy the pods? This concept might sound feasible for a small and well-connected country like Singapore, but personally I don't think so for Malaysia. |

QUOTE(nebula87 @ Dec 17 2018, 01:58 PM) About their availability of the captures. Exactly!You can find Dolce Gusto capsules almost everywhere (Tesco, Aeon, and etc), and covered with dust too. Due to low popularity among Penangites. But for Nespresso capsules, only top-tier hypermarket will sell them, very rare. For their machine, Both have the same built quality, you will find more plastics for the cheaper version and less for the expensive range.. This post has been edited by bb100: Dec 17 2018, 02:05 PM |

But some online reviews mention that those compatible pods will somehow cause the machine to spoil faster.try find in amazon..is more than what you can find for gusto.. i owned 2 of these machines I am not sure if it is true or they are being paid to say things like that. |

QUOTE(h4r8_kIlLeR @ Dec 17 2018, 05:02 PM) I don't call myself a coffee expert, but the espresso which I tested yesterday in Nespresso boutique had quite an oomph.Those kind which makes you instantly awake on the first sip. Not sure about the Dolce Gusto though, will hunt for one this coming weekend. |

QUOTE(alpha33 @ Dec 17 2018, 06:09 PM) Erm.. I try to explain as clear as possible. Oblo is the squarish one is it?I have 4 dolces at home. (1 bought, 3 free) 1,it have a lever to adjust the water level according to the capsule. Click start and it will stop when water is reached. The other three,they can't adjust the water level needed. So u have to press the water and stop it urself. Too much water=plain. Too little water=bitter/sweet.(and all have plastic housing, feels cheap to touch) Checked online, the free ones are called "oblo". I am using "genio" red one. |
