Review on ☕ NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Genio 2: Espresso, Cappuccino, and Latte Pod Machine in Silver - Review, Features, and Buying Guide by Eric Cooper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

One rating to balance all those 5 star ratings

I've ordered this device from time to time as it's not eco friendly but I went for it. I've had Tassimo in the past and assumed it would be similar and have more flavor than Kcup machines. In my opinion, k cups taste great for the first month and then spoil quickly. Anyway, I bought 3 different types of coffee pods: Flat White, Starbucks Americano and Nestle Americano. It turns out that Flat White is soluble. This is normal, but instant coffee always tastes like instant coffee. Both Americanos are pretty tasteless. Surprisingly, the Starbucks brand is much weaker than Nestle. Nestlé is "good" at level 5 (don't waste a capsule trying to reach the recommended level 6). I did not purchase this item to have "good" or "good" coffee. So disappointing as it is very easy to use and has a decent temperature. Maybe it's just the coffee pods I bought and I'll find others with flavor, but an americano is supposed to have body and there is no body so I have no hope.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • I'll write back later
