We were pretty impressed with this, far better than some of the others we've previously tested. What do you guys think? How would you improve it?
I personally would improve the motor pump annoyingly noisy.
And water output , had it 2 days and looking already to replace.
@@jacklangus9092 Noisy, agreed. Whats up with the water outlet? Thanks for sharing your feedback for us all by the way.
@@TechNuovo it's a very weak outpour , occasionally the outpour is fractionally better yet for the most part it's very little. It was purchased last year and not been used however upon moving to a new home it was unopened and used where my first thought was it's quite noisy and after washing the necessary items recommended in a you tube video and upon making the coffee's I have reached the summarisation that the water output is not quite right.
It's a pity there is not a company to which I am able to send the item to gain adequate water exit and either a fix to the motor or pump so it is quieter at a cost.
Do the nesspresso converters from amozon work with this model? Theyre suppoed to work with the genio 2, but doesnt say anything about the s plus? 🤔
Watched this as I was thinking about ordering one and definitely going to get one now 👍
Great stuff! Thanks for watching
I have this one ordered and I cant wait for it to arrive!
I already have the Piccolo XS and this seems like a nice upgrade ♥️
It certainly will be, enjoy!
Many thanks for your review of this. I purchased mine just over 2 weeks ago & I’m very pleased with it, very impressive. Was lucky to be able to take advantage of Nescafé Dolce Gusto’s offer of X6 free boxes of coffee. Will keep me going for a while 👍 ☕️
Thanks for watching! Glad you’re enjoying if
Hot hot coffee 🎉 or cooler if palate prefers. Clean, no mess, easy to use, and adore the espresso boost 👌Had it for x2 weeks now. Sits alongside our traditional Gaggia coffee machine. Love the fact you can use your own ground coffee with reusable metal pods! Game changer. Love it.
And when you first get it, run the rinse WITHOUT the mini filter and you don’t get that plastic taste.
It’s such a versatile machine. Starbucks, Aldi coffee available in this format in addition to the dolce gusto Nescafé pods.
Or as I said grind your own and off you go! Bought on Amazon with 3 boxes of Starbucks pods thrown in - for £49.99. Amazing deal.
Busy working mum? Love coffee, need the caffeine? Buy this!!!
Couldnt agree more! Glad you're enjoying it.
Any idea how to take it out of descaling mode as I’ve descaled and the light hasn’t switched off on the genio s plus
Question about the espresso boost function: Is this function only for those dulce gusto espresso pods? Ie it makes it an even more intense taste?
Or is the idea that you can use the standard flat white or cafe au lait pods and by pushing that button, it converts into into an espresso type flavour?
A quoi sert le voyant à droite en haut sur la genio s? Merci.
If you get the reusable pods you can virtually stick any coffee in it including tassimo or nespresso.
A que temperatura deberia salir el cafe en la opción mas caliente, osea la roja?
Thanks for making this video dude. I've just purchased a Genio S Plus from Argos and I went through three-ish tanks of water during the initial rinse stage. This was just to make sure I didn't get a plastic-esque tasting coffee like you mentioned. Three tanks was enough and I went for a Cafe Au Lait Intenso as my first pod - very impressed! A great coffee machine and highly recommended as a gift for someone... or yourself 🙌
Thanks for watching! Glad you’re enjoying the machine 😊
@mrjonnyjones did you buy a Genio S Plus made by DeLonghi or Krups? on @TechNuovo vid I see DeLonghi and been looking for one to buy for my wife and I see that on my polish Dolce Gusto site Genio S Plus is from Krups. now I'm bit worried if it matches the DeLonghi made one :)
@@masta_of_dizasta Mine is a DeLonghi 👍🏻
hii i just got this machine but I don't know how to clean it, i just do what the instructions says but water doesn't come out what I am doing wrong
Owh god! Now dolce gusto genio s plus, while me just buy from second hand shop the first generation of dolce gusto 😅🙂
Thanks for this review. How do you get the right amount according to your cup? How do I make sure it stops and fills my cup properly without over flowing or filling less than needed. Thanks
The pod tells you what level / ml to set it to, to get the best coffee. You then need to work out yourself what cup you need. Ie one pod May make a 230ml coffee, so measure 230ml of water and pour it into your cups, see which one best suits.
Or use a bucket to bes sure
Hi I have just up graded to this machine, do you have to turn it off at the plug each time or will it turn off like the gusto machine . Thanks
It will auto turn off after a period of time
Can you recommend decent metal refillable pot?
I know, pretty late comment but I wanted to ask, are there any unsweetened options for the capsules?
Not that we've seen unfortunately. All pretty full of sugar 😃
Hello! Just wanna ask for some suggestion. I am thinking to get one, but currently, I'm stuck on choosing either Genio S Plus or Genio S Touch. Any recommendation? Thanks.
There isn’t much in it really, both will delivery like for like coffees
Very good review thank you. You said the pods are recyclable but do you need to cut open & empty first.
Thanks for watching!
No, I never had, the contents inside is biodegradable, coffee or milk, so should be ok. Could be wrong though 😐
@@TechNuovo the pods likely aren't recyclable without specialized machinery, if nestle would ever invest in them. They are made of 4 materials, a plastic foil on top, a different type of soft plastic body, an aluminum seal on the bottom, and a piercing plastic plate sitting right below that (which is very hard, and very abrasive). Together with the impossibility of washing out the coffee grounds (food contamination would ruin a whole lot of recycled plastic) before processing, these things will never be recycled in the general stream. About the only thing you can do with these things, besides building a special machine just for dolce gusto pods, is to burn them all for energy.
Hi i need help. Can someone tell me how the dolce gusto coffee taste like? Im a freqent cafe coffee drinker so wondering if the dolce gusto tastes similar to that. Have seen alot of bad reviews saying it taste watery/vending machine coffee like so please someone help 😢
does that cafe au lait come sweetened? i only want one of these machines if i can make a big cup like yours using 1 pod and comes sweetened so i can keep costs down, will that one do it or do you have other ways?
To me, I think the milk is sweetened but whether it’s enough for you, who knows.
Hi, does the temperature control allow you to make hotter drinks with this machine than the Genio S machine? Or is max temp on Genio S and Genio S plus the same?
Yes, it doesn't seem to be particularly hot. The video suggests it is a little bit hotter.
thanks. useful info and no lengthy bullshit intro, which I really appreciate
You’re welcome and thanks for watching
I bought this yesterday and unfortunately I lost the capsule holder. Can anyone help me in getting the spare part as I tried to get it online but wasn't available of the same model.
You can try eBay or aratopia
Please..... what is the code number of this krups genio s plus?
And which is the colour?
Black...or cosmic grey???
Can someone please tell me if I want to use the XL option for a larger drink how am I supposed to select the bars of each capsule?:(
If you select XL thats the maximum drink size, so it overrides the bar selection; this may mean the drink tastes more diluted if the pod originally requires a low bar level
Hello..new to the coffee world. Want to ask as newbie which is better and suitable between picollo, infinissima or genio s.
Genio S offers the most flexiblity but if you just want a basic coffee, they all perform very similar.
hey i don't understand english but i have a question is this a good coffee machine or is the mini me anthracite black dolce gusto better do you know this please help me find the best
Hi! I believe the mini me is manual operation, so straight away, the Genio is far better for control and quantity of water.
@Tech Nuovo in fact, the Mini me is an automatic coffee machine on which the amount of water can be adjusted. We made a video about him on our channel.😁
thank you for your video. which one you recommend. mini me or genio s plus? I want to make my mind.
hello! which do you recommend genio s or genio s plus? do you know what’s the difference?
thanks!
I believe the only difference is there ability to make larger drinks, larger glass cups etc.
Do you need to have a "cold brew pod" or will any starbucks still work on cold setting?.
Any standard pod will work with the cold option but it’s only as cold as the water in the tank, so add an ice cube 👍
I've been wondering all the time whether I should order the Genio S Plus or the Infinissima Tocuh. Which would you recommend?
Genio S Plus i reckon...
I love my new Doche Gusto Genio S Plus but I cannot seem to be able to keep the water flowing. Please help me and tell me what I am doing wrong, or not doing right.
Thank you.
An issue I experienced was when placing the tank after filling it up with water. If it doesn't line up perfectly, then the water will not flow. Took some getting used to for sure. Apart from this, I'm not too sure I'm afraid.
Can i use it with any brand of capsules ?or matcked with specific kinds ?
Different brands, yes, so you can get Starbucks pods etc BUT it has to be the dolce gusto shape of pod
Great review!! Can i boost the espresso with the cafe au lait capsule ?
Hmm, yeh I don’t see why not, I do not believe the machine is smart enough to know what pod you’re putting in.
@@TechNuovo yeh it’s not that smart haha and thank you🙏🏻
What size is your glass cup
I did bought today ❤️
Enjoy and thanks for watching
How is it? How is the coffee taste?
@@xyard1 Excellent taste Inexpensive, this is a great machine. Thank you for your recommend Dolce Gusto .
What if u put in cold water in the tank? Will the temp still be luke warm at around 30-35 degrees?
No, it’ll bypass the heater and be room temperature. Thinking about it, stick a few ice cubes in and that’ll bring it right down and then make the coffee.
@@TechNuovo ahhh right that a bummer then. Thanks for the response! 😉
Hello are you still loving this machine? Also could i tilt a travel fladk underneath or would it not work..(sorry if thats a daft question).
Hi! Not currently using this machine anymore, moved away from pods altogether. Travel flask yes but the taller ones, might be easier to make the coffee in a cup and pour it in 👍
@@TechNuovo So whats the better alternative if moving away from pods.
I am going to get one for my caravan which we rent out sometimes. Will use your video as a demo of how to use it, if that is ok?
Yeh sure!
Hi i wanna ask. Is this one, much better than picollo xs? I wanna buy a coffee maker and want to make sure it worth the money. Kindly need your opinion 🥰
So much better! It has automatic control, rather than manual, so you can just leave the drink to make itself, rather than manually stopping when made. Get this one
dh pakai ke?berbaloi tak???
Why is the power cord on mine is black not red?
Sorry 1 more question. I can buy with 3 options. With 1 starbucks travel mug / with 2 Starbucks mugs / or with a frothed. Why would I want a frother if it comes out frothy already?
You wouldn’t, the milk comes out frothy, unless it’s like a handheld whisk that you could use with milk for something else 🤷♂️
I found the reason for the frother, it's just for froth art. I'm going to get the cups! Thanks again, you're great.
Great video. My machine is arriving later today (Saturday). I'm very interested in the metal reusable coffee pods you mentioned in your video - do you have a link of the correct ones to buy please? I had a look on Amazon but there are so many and I want to make sure I get the right ones.
Thanks! They’re Gusto shaped pods, so any metal ones on Amazon shaped like that should be fine. Having a Quick Look, there are some by Madama for £16 that should be ok.
Thanks so much. I’ve found them 😊
It's pronounced "cafe oh ley" 😃 Nice review
Thank you! I always pronounce things wrong 😑
Should I get the Genio S or this one the Genio S plus?
The plus 👍
How does the espresso boost button work? I can't seem to find this information anywhere.
Can you do a drink, such as a latte, and then add an espresso pod using the boost function to give it an extra shot?
Hi, it’s been a while since we had the machine but from memory, the boost function offers a specific temp and brewing option to get a better shot. As long as your cup or glass will accept a latte and a shot, yes you can. Just leave the drink under the outlet and pour a shot.
@@TechNuovo Thank you!
Great review
Thanks for watching!
I just ordered mine this morning 😀
Awesome! Enjoy
I just bought this model last night excited to use it great review👌🏻
Me drinking my first coffee watching this and he’s saying I need to flush the whole tank before using it. 😣
Ah ha, yeh you’re meant too! How did it taste?
Same! 😂😂
How do you shot off after doing your coffee?
Shut off, as in turn off? Pull the plug or it will automatically turn itself off.
Is the water hot enough to use for tea
Nope.
Can you brew coffee first in the dolce gusto and after that brew milk pod? Tell me how it comes whether same or it's different
Wanna try it 😁
Yes you can use a coffee pod first, then a milk pod after 👍
O
M
G
!!!
does this have the cold option?
It does but it doesn’t produce an iced coffee as such. Instead, a luke warm coffee that you add ice too
@Ellaessa Santos How about you actually watch the video first?!?!
Bosch tassimo or genius s plus?
Genio S for us!
Hello
Recently I brought a machine but the water flows don't come out!! Now, what do I do?? anyone help me please
There isnt any packaging or cover stopping the flow of water?
I’ve had that Hercules mug my whole life 😂
Best mug ever! One of my fave movies growing up too.
My coffee pod holder has been stuck, any idea on this?
My holder gets stuck at times. I need to give mine a proper clean out to stop it from happening..both the pod holder and around the port it goes onto.
@@TechNuovo thanks dear!
Which ine is better guys? The mini me or this ??genio ?
Mini me looks manual, it has the hot/cold water lever on the top. Thats a hard no from me! Automatic is so much easier.
Should I get this or the genio 2?
I’d say the Genio S...
@@TechNuovo just got myself a genio s plus, wondering why the coffee taste bland? are you supposed to add sugar into it?
@@narty4586 that’s upto you! What pods you using? The taste isn’t as extracted as like from an espresso machine but far better than instant we found
I bought a Dolce Gusto and a tassimo and this point applies to both. If the drink doesn't come with a separate milk pod, it's nothing but flavoured water. Pretty much all of the hot chocolate is just cheaped out water. Only Chococino worth it's price on this thing.
What's the major difference between s basic and plus?
I think the plus includes the espresso boost, otherwise fairly similar i believe. I've not actually used the basic before.
I bought it 5 days ago, and i am having trouble with the temperature. It is not boiling hot it was more of slightly hotter than room temperature. However, today it had higher temperature than usual. So, is this normal or should i return it or something?
Sounds faulty. First cup I made was too hot to drink (for me anyway). I’d expect it to be hot out the box!
5:11 what is this website, do they ship worldwide?
Official Dolce Gusto website, UK version.
How can I get this machine? It’s not available on the us site :(
Nevermind I found it through Amazon I just have to switch from us to uk to find it! And it’s way cheaper than the genio 2!
Awesome! Glad you managed to grab one
@@TechNuovo yes but I had to grab a converter plug and pay for shipping which isn’t cheap :)
@@TechNuovo mine is made by krups and cost 53.66 pounds but the DeLonghi cost 89.99 pounds. Is there a difference in the brands?
No, I believe it’s the same machine just branded differently depending on country, or at least that’s what I’ve found when I’ve looked into it before
Hallo. Does it accept another brands of coffe? I mean another cups. Thank you
P.s very good video!!
The same shape and size, yes it will. I know you can get metal pods now, that you can refill will ground coffee. Thanks for watching 👍
@@TechNuovo thank you for the answer!!!
My husband will order this coffee machine! I hope we like it ( i am almost sure we will) He really likes coffee so I think it will be a good buy. And our actual coffee machine makes too much noise... so after sometime time I conviced him to change it. Anyway what girls can't do ? Haha
Thanks!!
Where is the booster button?
Why does yours say DeLonghi aren't they from Krups?
I think it’s might be a regional thing, although unsure. They are the same machine though
fantastic review! i almost bought this machine last night to replace my 10 year old Dolce Gusto machine. I've been trying to figure out what exactly the espresso boost button does and if its just a gimmick
thanks for watching! Potential for a gimmick, there is science behind pre brewing and the benefits, whether this does it accurately enough to benefit, maybe, maybe not.
I don't know what's your model, but I have EDG315.b and it looks like yours (I guess). At first there's no information about the machine model on the visible side - it's on the bottom. So if you want to check it, you must remove water tank and cup (and maybe pad). If you don't, it will happen what happened to me: coffee on the floor 🤣
So the issue with this machine (or with my machine) is "student engineering": when you activate it start's counting the time for "sleep mode". But now it is in "power on" mode and it heats. So go away, after some time you go back, select the water quantity and press start button. The water starts filling your cup and... time is ticking and if it's done, machine turns off in the middle of the process 😁 First time I thought the machine has faulted. But it's just "student engineering"! 😂🤣
Thanks for the feedback! Good to hear your machine wasn't faulty 😄
NEXT TIME LINK THE VIDEO IN THE REDDIT COMMENT. I thought i was a god for a second when i started predicting the words
Rightio
How tall glass can you have?
The one in the video I used was 14cm.
@@TechNuovo thanks
I have got one from Dolce but it isn't hot enough ...
Know what temperature you’re getting?
@@TechNuovo I think with Dolce now 50 or 60
Have you heard of any pod adapter that could allow to use a nespresso pod with this machine?
I have not, no but you can get the reusable pods now and fill them with ground coffee 👍
@@TechNuovo Thank you for your reply.
My girlfriend found a good deal and got 144 DG pods for a bargain :D
There is, available in amazon coffee converter
We flushed twice. Thought was fine after that
I got one of these for Christmas and has the most horrible after taste in all the drinks ;(
We had that too, you’ve got to give it a full tank flush through several times to remove it.
Main problem with these machines is they are all noisy and rattle around. Someone please make one with a quiet compressor with low vibrations!
Do i have to clean it after every cup?
Nope! It’ll tell you when to descale and then you wipe down as and when
@@TechNuovo oh thank u, i was bit confused
We just brought ours.. coffee is not super hot at the hottest temperature... it quickly gets cold! you need 2 capsules for an XL drink or else it's diluted.. hot chocolate is just flavored water!
Thanks for the feedback. Sure drinks aren't as hot as say a coffee made from kettle water, and yes, two capsules ideally for an XL drink. Hot chocolate still tastes good though for flavoured water 😉
Something wrong with yours. Ours doesn't have all of this.
Why is Dolce Gusto out of North America ?
I do not know I’m afraid 🥴
Don't find mine makes the coffee hot enough unfortunately!
We've seen this mentioned a few times to be fair. I'm personally fine with my coffee not scolding the roof of my mouth. My mother makes coffee from her machine and then sticks it in the microwave. Never understood that 🤣
@@TechNuovo if you like a little milk, it's only lukewarm
I can't get rid of the plasticy taste , i've run it too many times with both hot and cold water but still the same ! 😞
Oh that’s odd! We could totally taste it the first few coffees but after that, it was completely gone. I’m not too sure what to suggest I’m afraid
i have the genio s and it dosnt dispense the right amount of water as the level says on the capsules
I did test this actually, only once, but made a cafe au lait, 180ml the capsule and the actual volume out was not far off that at all, minus some froth. How different were your outputs?
@@TechNuovo well i made a Starbucks americano and it was 30mil out and than i mad a cappuccino that was 40 mil out it varies depending on the capsule you see level one for Starbucks is accurate at 30 mil and with anything else its 10 mil out so idk
Dont buy cheap dolce gusto machines because soon or later you will have issues better go for expensive models they will be better
You keep saying flush it at least twice but didn’t show how to. Like for the first timers, it doesnt make sense how to flush without making or wasting coffee pods
Hi. It’s all detailed within the instructions as part of the unboxing/set up. No need for any pods, just press go and the water will flow through 👍
I didnt evwn flush it at all 🤣🤣
And it tasted ok?!
Taste like water tried capucino gross and espeesso too sour ughhh
If you want a nice cup, check out the Gaggia classic pro and niche grinder combo
@@TechNuovo na i rather have a machine that works with kcups, easier to do and faster u know any?
Да с хуя тут всё по английски?
Waste of money, cold tasteless coffee 👎
Sorry you feel that way. Perhaps you had a faulty model
Nah, it makes too much noise.
Dont they all? All these pod machines sound similar to me.
6 minutes man face... And where is Genio? Dislike.
We didn’t show any B-Roll of the machine? Sorry, my bad.
Ugh this machine is shit.. its only compatable with their own brand cups. I bought all kinds of cups and shit dont work. And nowhere do they say it clearly. Dont buy this crap really
I picked this up for a tenner in a charity shop.
That is a bargain! All work ok?
Can you use the espresso boost to add extra intensity to a normal coffee or is it purely just for making a stronger espresso?
There’s nothing stopping you but I’m not sure if it will intensify your coffee. I think the boost button puts some water into the pod, waits for the coffee to soak it up, then uses the 15bar to push through the water. Other pods will have a different amount of coffee grounds in, may not work with the higher pressure etc.
