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.

Nespresso got much more choice of flavours but is twice the price. The difference in "kaw-ness" can be adjusted by the water level. The only real difference in the machines is the size of water reservoir. Pay more then don't have to re-fill the water as often, but the machine will take up more space. Get the cheapest machine IMHO, don't leave water sitting in the container for too long.

Agreed. Hence I have to settle for DG and Nespresso. I find that I end up using 2 Nespresso Lungo capsules (cost about MYR4) compared to just 1 DG Grande capsule (cost about MYR1.30) to make enough coffee for my taste. So for everyday drinking, suggest DG.
