NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Genio S Automatic Coffee Machine, 0.8 liters, White by Krups

Product Information

No, the machine is not a perishable item and can be used as long as it works properly. Is the plastic hose used inside PE (Polyethylene)? PP (Polypropylene)? For a daily average usage of 4 cups and if the water is hard, we recommend descaling your machine at least every 3 months. The coffee itself is perfectly good for a pod machine: we rather enjoyed the flavour of the americanos which tasted fresh and full-bodied as any manual espresso, though the fun of these machines is all in the experimenting so you can search out your own personal favourite go-to coffee. Only the capsule holder can be washed in the dishwasher. The drip tray and the water tank must be washed manually. For my manual machine, the user manual states that when you descale the machine you only use the Hot button. Then rinse with both Hot and Cold. Don't we also need to descale the cold water pipe? The reason why the capsule holder leaks on the side is probably due to the fact that the connection between the needle and the water tube is not perfectly tight any more.

If the on/off button turns orange/yellow continuously (descaling warning), you should descale the machine. Do not use your appliance. To avoid any danger, have it replaced by an approved repair centre. Why is the power button orange?DeLonghi claims the genio s can create beverages in under 30 seconds thanks to its 15 bar high-pressure pump, which it says perfectly extracts the maximum flavour and aroma from each coffee pod, delivering a luxurious, crema-rich coffee. As with all pod machines, the clean up afterwards is minimal; all grounds are designed to stay in the pod for a mess-free coffee every time.

For cold beverages, use water at ambient temperature, never refrigerated water, and place two or more ice cubes (20g per ice cube) in the cup. At the end of the preparation of the drink, the on/off button flashes red for about 5 seconds. Do not remove the capsule holder during this time!This requires a pressure of 15 bar (achieved only by espresso machines), water heated to 90-92°C and finely ground and measured coffee (7 g per cup). Where can I dispose of my appliance at the end of its life span? All the pods I used with this machine came with suggested water level settings, making my initial tests easier. If your appliance has not been used for several months, the pump may have difficulty restarting the water flow.

What impressed me about this machine was its speed. In addition to a fast heat-up time, the latte was ready in less than 1min30secs, with the milk pod taking 40secs, and the espresso one about 27secs with the boost function activated. Meanwhile, an americano took 50secs and an XL version only 1min5secs. Verify that the drip-tray is correctly positioned. The coffee flows very slowly during operation of my Dolce Gusto machine.
