DeLonghi Nescafe Dolce Gusto Genio EDG465B (Black)

easy to use – A quick and easy cup of coffee. Always functions without issue. Just wish they would enable us to purchase milk capsules separately for those of us who like a milkier or less strong cup! Purchase experience without any problems and quick delivery. Capsules easy to purchase on line and also quick delivery.  Show details

Love it – As I'm getting this review I'm enjoying a perfect cup of coffee I have had my machine for a fee years now and love it. I even bought one for my work place. It's simple to use and the variety of flavours are great I would recommend to anyone It's a must have in any kitchen.  Show details

Best Coffee Pod Machine Ever! – Absolutely love our new Dolce Gusto Genio 2. Really easy to use and there's a great range of flavours/tastes. We typically use the cappuccino or macchiato pods. Delicious, quick and easy! The pods are a little expensive at around $1 each however the coffees are as good as barista made coffees anyway!  Show details

Does its job – The machine is fine.A little splashy but makes a descent cup of coffee (or hot chocolate, nesquik or tea if you prefer chai latte). Doesn't have many parts to clean, which means it's almost maintenance free. Just be careful not to lose the funnel that comes with it or you'll have a hard time cleaning it up without water splashing all around you.  Show details

Easy to use – This machine is easy to use and it does produce tasty, rich, creamy consistently good coffee. The only issue is that the pods that you can use for it are limited. Nespresso compatible pods tend to have a lot more variety on offer than the pods you can use for this machine.  Show details

It’s average! – I’ve had a few coffee pod machines and this would be a lower rating machine. The coffee tastes ok, often it has a burnt taste. I don’t like the pods, they’re expensive in comparison and you get less because most flavours has a milk pod as well, this means less coffee per packet compared to other brands.  Show details

Great for daily use – Got it because there was a half price promotion going on. The latte capsule tastes the best so far, i also like the chocolate one. It is easy to use and clean as well. Show details

Great little pod machine – Great little pod machine. Easy storage as its perfect in size. Can get heaps of nice coffee pods for it that tastes so delicious. Love the black machine as it goes with my decor. Show details

Ok machine but coffee taste not so great – Bought this machine over Christmas, it looks decent and works ok but the coffee quality from the pods is very ordinary. I always find it really watery and not the robust flavour you get from some of the Nespresso or higher end machines. It's an ok buy but I can think of better options.  Show details

Quick great coffee – Very happy with my coffee pod machine! Purchased at target online store! Very easy to use and so quick, lots of flavours to choose from and love that u can make it hot or cold! Cleaning is very easy and not much required, and size of machine is good too not big at all doesn’t take up much kitchen space!  Show details

Awesome Coffee All The Time – Unlike other reviewers, I love the taste of this coffee particularly the Espresso Intenso pods. I do agree that the pods are overpriced though and I have noticed Woolworths is getting a bit slack in making sure that the most popular pods are always in stock on the shelf. Overall though the unit is perfect. Really easy to use and transportable - I take it everywhere with me to make sure I get my coffee hit including hotels and camping! :)  Show details

Love my coffee machine – I love my coffee machine. Cuts my coffee costs from cafes down from $5 a coffee to $1 a coffee and I believe it tastes much better too! Easy and quick to make your coffee if you are in a rush in the morning. It is simple and easy and I love it. All you need.  Show details

Okay but limited coffee machine – My parents purchased this machine during a promotion at BigW where if you buy this machine, the pods come included for around $99. I find this machine does what it says but its quite limited to the type of pods you can use. I like how easy it is to use - just fill with water and pop a pod into the machine. It's easy to control the amount of liquid… Read more

as there is an indicator on the machine. On the pods there is also an indication of how much water is to be used so there is really no "messing up". I don't really like how big the pods are as it's just wasteful. Nespresso and other brands use a smaller amount of plastic per pod. The taste of the pods are okay, but could be better and can often taste watered down so I would recommend one less "bar" of water than indicated on the pod and use milk to make it more substantial. Other wise you are just drinking powdered water.

Handy AIO Machine for the Cafe crowd – It makes a range of different coffees and other beverages without the need for frothing your milk or pouring the right ratios yourself. Make a cappuccino (or skim cap), a few lattes, hot chocolate, a couple different short and long blacks and even some iced tea with this machine. The pods aren't the cheapest to buy but you have a range of types of coffee to choose from. Cleaning is easy and minimal. Very easy to use and quick to heat up.  Show details

makes coffee and other kids drinks – This is a really good coffee machine for all. I love that it can make Coffee, Peach ice tea, NESQUIK, Hot chocolate and many more in their range. It is simple to use instructions, i also like their modern range of looks. It is a quick to use and no mess in using this machine. just put water , capsule and go.  Show details

Simple Machine! Really like it!! – I have bought the Dolce Gusto Genio 6 month ago. The machine is really convenient and the coffee is yummy. Easy clean, easy to use. The capsule is affordable and it can be bought from Coles and Woolworth. If you register at their website, you can also get some offers when you order the capsules.  Show details

Easy to use – It is great for a fast and yumny coffee. Also, I found it is very easy to clean too. The coffee tastes good enough for us to wake up. Also, the capsule is relatively affordable and they come with a huge variety. I think the price is quite reasonable too.  Show details

Just ok Coffee Machine – My mom gifted this coffee machine as a Christmas Present. She knows I like drinking coffee and this coffee machine is very easy to use and closed to having a coffee in restaurants. But buying capsules is quiet expensive and sometimes not a good quality coffee is produced using this. Cheaper compare to others. If anyone is looking for convenience… Read more

and just fine coffee. Then buy this machine. Otherwise save more money and buy more expensive but high end coffee machine.

Simple coffee maker – This is my second dolce gusto, I wore the first one out! I like the appearance it looks good in my kitchen and makes a good coffee and tea for that matter. Easy clean , easy to operate. Has a low power usage and the convenience of the capsule means no mess.  Show details

It is ok for sake of make quick coffe – Taste of coffe is far from proper restaurant coffe ,taste to sharp and sometime bitter. I often ask my self question what sort of coffe they put in. I like strong short black coffe in the morning but this particular containers have something extra of taste that should not be there at all,maybe smoooth aroma would get the thing. It is very good smell when is in process of preparing but that's it.  Show details

What a little beauty – It's a great machine perfect size for 1 or 2 coffee drinkers.. lots of varieties of blends available inc tea and hot chocolate or have them cold. It's just so easy and simple to use and clean up is as easy and simple just rinse out coffee pod holder I use filtered water to help with scale buildup I've bought 4 now, 3 as gifts  Show details

Tasty and easy to use! – We use this every morning. It's easy to fill up with water, add the coffee pod, activate and enjoy a barista-made tasting cuppa without costing nearly as much. It's difficult to go back to instant coffee now. Easy to keep clean, just wipe down as you go and do a thorough clean weekly. Oh it might be a useful reminder to check and wipe under… Read more

the rack where the cup sits as sometimes there may be a drops of coffee if another user has removed the cup prior to it completely finish dripping.

Overall, happy with this neat little unit

Coffee dreams – Love the taste of the coffee and also the hot chocolate. It is easy to use open the lid put the capsule / capsules in and that's it. Easy to clean with the water container at the back of the machine easily comes detached from the back and cleans easy.  Show details

Got to have it – I have been drinking coffee for few years now though I was never that keen on the taste of it, until I bought the dolce gusto I LOVE my coffee now, they have different capsules you can put in it like hot chocolate for the kids, its very easy to use and is very easy to clean I definetly recommend this to whoever enjoys coffee  Show details

Easy to operate – Makes great cup of coffee!!! Easy to use. Easy to clean The look of the machine complements my kitchen perfectly. Smart and elegant. The only sad part is the capsules - this may be a little expensive considering that my family consists of avid coffee drinkers. Otherwise, a lovely piece for the kitchen  Show details

Great looking machine – This machine has a pretty sleek design, looks great on any kitchen bench. It's pretty easy to use, the buttons are quite easy to use and very easy to clean. The only downside is the capsules are quite expensive, the taste is so-so. In the end i didn't use this much.  Show details

Works a Treat – Makes a great coffee but the capsules can be expensive. The machine is very inexpensive and easy to use and little if no clean up at all.Creates a nice creama so that you do not need to have a milk frotha as well.Takes up little space so can be placed in any kitchen settimg.  Show details

Reliable machine and great coffee – We love this machine. Lovely coffee aroma each time. Very easy to use. Very easy to clean. Perfect for us because we don't like cleaning. Had this for 4+ years already and it's still working. Very reliable. Had tried all flavours. All flavours are lovely except Chai Latte. I even used it without coffee capsule just to get hot water for making soup in a mug. So convenient to have this machine.  Show details

Love my Cafe Au Lait every morning, wouldn't be without it! – Love the taste of the Cafe Au Lait...it's delicious. The machine itself is very good, quick to heat up and super easy. The pods itself are a little pricey but I've found if you purchase the 16 pack which doesn't require 2 pods per coffee (like the ones that have one coffee and one milk pod for each coffee) it does work out more cost effective.… Read more

This is how we stumbled upon the Cafe au Lait, which is very nice indeed.

My machine has started to leak (which is the main reason for 4 stars). I believe it's the water container and will have to order a spare somehow.

Overall, taste is delicious. Pods are easy enough to find in supermarket. Just wish they were the universal type that you can buy other brands and they also fit but oh well. We've become very used to this little machine and honestly wouldn't be without it! It's our morning routine. Pros definitely out way cons.

Great coffee and easy to use! – This is a fantastic little machine;worth the money.The coffee tastes fantastic,and very easy to make.i don't care for hot choclate like this,it's always too strong,but the coffee is great.if making hot choclate I use hot milk instead of water so it's not too strong.its also extremely easy to clean.would happily recommend to anyone!!  Show details

Bloodly fantastic – Couln't be happier so glade i brought this model, easy to use great flavors in the brand, the cost of the pods are great 8.50 in woolwortbs or the same price online and you get free shipping if you spend 100.00 heaps of accessories online that make life easier you will not go wrong  Show details

Easy to use – It makes good, cafe-quality coffees. Super simple to use, just pop your capsule in, choose the water level and let it run. Capsules are a bit pricey, considering you don't get many per box. Main downside would be that it can only be cleaned internally by purchasing specific capsules. A good choice for people who want an easy to use, quality coffee machine.  Show details

Cannot live without it – Absolutely cannot live without it and believe it to be the best invention since ever. My husband will have a cappuccino occasionally although most of the time it is just me drinking it. So it is perfect for one or two people. If I go anywhere for a night or longer it goes with me. Although I usually end up making coffee for everyone I visit with… Read more

my little machine. The coffee tastes amazing, is quick, which is good because I am usually in a hurry. So so easy to keep clean. When this one quits on me one day I will buy another straight away because the price and value for money is exceptional.

Brilliant, easy to use – Have used several capsule machines over the years this one is stand out. If you order bulk capsules on line you can get 15% discount plus free delivery. Machine is easy to use, clean and looks rather sexy as well. Only minor annoying thing is it only has enough water on board for 2 cups  Show details

How can something so simple be sooo good – I love coffee, good coffee that is. This machine makes very good coffee. Simple to use, easy to clean and sits nicely in the corner of my kitchen bench top. Premium tasting every time. Minor negative is that to date, I have never seen the pods on "special". Apart from good coffee, I like good price specials........  Show details
