DeLonghi Nescafe Dolce Gusto Circolo EDG605R

Pods empty when I buy them – Love the machine love the coffee but 3 times now I have had americani pods which are empty and produce a discoloured water only. Who do you call - don’t know Show details

Just Perfect – Easy to use and to clean. Enjoy a cup of barista style coffee in less than a minute! However I don't recommend the powder milk that comes with the pods! I suggest you make your coffee in a separate milk frother, other than that everything is just perfect! I just love it.  Show details

So easy to use – The drinks taste great and there is a good variety. Some coffee flavours are available in the supermarket. Easy to make the drinks and to adjust to each person's taste. Easy to clean the coffee machine. We liked this coffee machine so much that we bought a second coffee machine.  Show details

Happy after a month – After suffering through two leaking Aldi Expressi machines, we thought we try something different. The Circolo is robust and simple enough to operate. It makes decent coffee and is far less messy than the two Aldi machines we had, which can't hold their water after a while. There is less to clean and with the cold drinks option for iced tea, it's more versatile.  Show details

Only good thing is the iced peach tea! – I don't like the burned instant coffee taste or the powdered milk quality. I don't like that you can't buy all the pods at the supermarket, I don't like that you have to order online and wait for delivery. I do like the iced coffee and iced tea, but can't be bothered searching for them. It sits on my bench wasting space....$279 up in smoke the machine itself is easy to use, easy to clean and nice looking.  Show details

It's a lemon! – Ok. I gave this machine two chances and it blew both. I didn't want to bother with "three strikes and you're out" with this machine !! Two chances were more than enough as far as I'm concerned ! First time goes like this..... Bought it in June 2016 brand new from Big W on sale (paid $99 reduced from $249). Unwrapped it from its protective plastic… Read more

and cardboard covers.... Plugged it in and...... Nothing! Lights are on but no-one's home. The dial does not work! Water not being drawn up... Lots of rumbling noises but it won't make coffee !!

So it's back to Big W to exchange this dud for another one of the same...... We even asked the staff to let us test that the dial worked before we took the machine home.

Second time goes like this..... Machine worked fine for exactly 3.5 weeks with daily use..... Lulling me into a false sense of security .... Then one morning last week I went to make a cup of coffee and ......... NOTHING..... This time no lights on and no-one home either...... Absolutely DEAD!! Tried different power points....no, it's not the electricity - it's the machine.... Still no sign of life from the machine no matter what we tried! It just STOPPED WORKING !

Back to Big W - this time for a refund!! No more Delonghi coffee machines for us - ever again !! It's a dud at any price - sale or no sale !!

Just Ok – Very expensive for what it is better models out there so look around, and ask for a demonstration do not purchase with out that the pods are expensive but you can find cheaper on ebay, but get a demo for taste its ok easy to clean but look around

So simple to use! – I love this, its price point isn't too high and it's absolutely so simple to use compared to other machines in its market. Little to no cleaning is necessary. The quality of the coffee is good and authentic. I love that the pods come in such a variety for me to choose from.

Gotta love it – I am a lazy person, so when I found something so simple to use I was hooked. I hated using a separate frother plus all the cleaning. This gorgeous little machine has it all. Although the milk pods have a funny taste I just put in a drop of milk and that fixes it. I love this machine and I tell everyone they are crazy not to get one. I am buying one for my daughter. Buy one you would be mad not to do it.

waste of money – We purchased a coffee/cappuccino maker & 4 slice toaster they look good but they have an ugly personality. Coffee machine rattles bad & the toaster only toasts one side of the bread. Would not buy another delonghi product again !! waste of money

Love the design! Powder milk is a minus – I fell in love with the design of this machine. It looks like something out of sci-fi film! It makes great coffee as well. Only downside is the use of powder milk since there are no separate milk frother built-in capability. I usually stick to Americano and add some milk in it.

Clogging, clogging, dribble! – I have a U machine, and although I have descaled it, it a couple of times keeps clogging. I am using the Expresso varieties of pods for strong flavour, on the long black setting, and that is the problem. Appearantly because I use it on that setting, it causes the grinds to clog the perforation mesh, slowing the discharge to a dribble, and… Read more

leaking into the internal waste collection tray. Fortunately this problem is easily remedied with a toothbrush periodically, but I am looking for a machine without this design fault. Has anyone used the Circolo long enough to determine if this it is any better?

Easy way to make a good coffee – Have had my CIRCOLO for 10 months, it's quick and easy to use. I only use the espresso ristretto coffee, as I prefer a strong coffee. I used tap water to begin with, I did not like the taste, I bought some distilled water (REFRESH brand) from Woolworths ($4.60 for 5litres) , best thing I ever did. The improvement in the taste was unbelievable and… Read more

I should not have a problem with scale in the machine. The red colour looks good, is not too big, and is quick to heat up. the pods could be cheaper.

Great machine, great coffee – Received this machine as a birthday present twelve months ago. It is quick to heat up and super easy to use, no mess and makes a good coffee. I buy the Americano pods with 16 pods in a box and froth my own milk using a $25 Aldi frother. I use it regularly and it has been rock solid. Strength of coffee is adjusted very easily using a volume… Read more ·  4

wheel at the top. A light illuminates the coffee and is a smart addition. The cup base can be slotted in lower or higher depending on the height of the cup, and it has a drain in it. The best thing is that my large travel mug fits underneath the dispenser (but I have to remove the base completely). Easy, quick, no mess, great coffee. Looks great. Pods are not always available.

Coffee Machine – It is a fantastic machine, I bought 1 several months ago. It works like a dream. Friends have commented on how nice it looks. We use it every day several times per day. The coffee comes out lovely and hot each time. It fast acting and very very efficient, Thank you. fast and efficient. Nil

This machine is near perfect – I got the DeLonghi Nescafé Dolce Gusto Machine....I wasent realy impressed with the Latte range as I am not a fan of powder milk and could taste it....How ever the hot chocolate was realy lovely and the Caffe Americano was realy nice too....How ever I stick just to the espressos and add my own fresh froffy milk as not a fan of the pods with powder… Read more

milk and soy....I do highly recommend this machine as I was impressed with the quick no mess no fuss and the machine is easy to work...realy like it Quick no mess no fuss Powder milk and soy pods

Nestea Peach unreal!! – We purchased this machine unsure of where this experience would take us as we enjoy a professional cappuccino, latte however were attracted to the no mess idea of the pods. I can tell you we could not be happier. After much experimentation we have come up with right combinations for us but have added an automatic milk frother as although the milk… Read more

in the capsules provided, froth exceptionally well at a good temperature we cannot go past full cream milk fresh flavour. The coffee has a great Crème without any hint of bitterness and we have found something to suit everyone. Simple and so easy to use - no mess!!. The peach iced tea is the real surprise, there is an explosion of peach that just takes your breath away, I could not believe it. NO Mess, Affordable Machine, good coffee Prefer fresh full cream milk

the cappuccino range tastes awful – They have added soy milk and sweeteners to my favourite drink of cappuccino and I couldn't swallow one mouthful. To make cappuccino with my Dolce-Gusto I have to make an espresso and then heat Milk in microwave froth it and add to espresso coffee. Because coffee itself is very nice January 13th 2015 Update: Would find helpful to have… Read more

cappuccino blend sold without the milk pods - great for coffee nuts who love the taste of great coffee with frothed real milk. I use your expression pods at the moment and froth my own milk. coffee taste and easy to make espresso Milk pods with soy milk and sweeteners in it

perfect for the young punter – great looking, easy and intuitive, capsule system supurb, taste of coffee was unbelievable for the price. highly recommend to novice like myself. I was able to unpack it from the box, set it up and load it up, figure out the cup size and hot vs cold setting without looking at the manual. simplicity

Quick and easy – Being the coffee lover that I am pretty happy about the machine love Americano and Hot Chocolate. My husband love cappuccino . Having a little one I find great quick and easy and can do everything with one hand. It's not as great fresh grounded coffee, but taste so much better then the other options . No mess and no fuss, I highly recommend it .… Read more

Great if you can spend a lot money on coffee machine. Quick,easy,no mess, no fuss, More options on pods

Love our Circolo!!! – After researching coffee machines on internet sites, I decided to buy the Circolo for my hubby's birthday. No fuss, easy to operate, quick cofffee, no pesky cleaning after each coffee, we just think it is fabulous!!! It doesnt take up a lot of space, and looks great with our other red kitchen accessories! Quick coffe, easy operation.

A Great Cup of Coffee in My Own Home – I have just bought myself this great machine about 2 weeks ago and have used it every day since. I love the creamy cappucino and the hot chocolate and intend making full use of it during the winter months, even though I live in sunny Queensland. It is so easy to use especially for an "oldie" like me. It is fast, convenient and makes a great cup of coffee It runs out of water too soon as I'm using it so much!

SO CREAMY!!! – We bought this so we could use the hot chocolate capsules. They are sooooo creamy. Our teenagers like the cappucino capsules. I love how you can buy new capsules at Coles!! The accessories are modern. I cant wait to try the cold iced tea capsules. Its faster than waiting for the kettle to boil!!! Faster than waiting for the kettle to boil,… Read more

creamy hot chocolate, easy to clean, looks good, capsules easy to find in shops Wish it came in different colours

Dolce Gusto My Penguin – My husband got me a Genio as Mother's Day present. I have had other coffee machines and tossed them. This little beauty gets used daily by not just me but my whole family. He loves the hot chocolate I am partial to the caramel macchiato latte. My 14 year old loves the americano. I am happy to order my chai latte and macchiato online. My first… Read more

order I did on Monday morning and got my stuff on the Wednesday. As for the powdered milk not a problem. Everything fast efficient.

Totally Hooked to My Piccolini – Well, yes, I am a bit obsessed with my machine at the moment. I have also been so impressed with the customer service. Not one day after getting my machine did I break my water tank. I got on the phone and its been replaced straight away. I have also ordered online, got my free box and free shipping as I spent over $100 - lots of extra… Read more

flavours online too - love the caramel latte. Its also sooo cute, quick, easy and makes a great cup of coffee for at home. Goodbye instant coffee!! Compact, quick, easy, tastes great. Very stylish

Love my morning cuppa coffee – I love my dulce gusto, it makes early mornings bearable with my cuppucino. Really fast and enjoyable drink and at $1 per coffee a lot cheaper then my coffee shop. Look forward to tryin all the different varieties that are available online. Super speedy delivery and a free box of coffee with online purchase. Great wake up coffee, tastes great, easy to use

Nice unit....BUT – Lovely unit, easy to use. Coffee taste is mediocre at best. Very poor range to choose from as well. I would have bought a cheaper unit from Aldi who have way better range and cheaper cup price, but this unit was a gift that I ought to be thankful for. Consider other options for units if you like a wide range to choose from, but buy this if you… Read more

want a stylish machine to look at. Looks good, simple to operate. Expensive coffee, very poor range to choose from, small water container on my unit, one cup only.

Delongi doce gusto manual coffee machine – Gutsy but stylish and compact. Quieter than Aldi machine.Shame Big W doesn't carry bigger range of coffee capsules.Having to buy online makes it rather expensive cup of coffee. Would also like to see a med/strong coffee casule that will deliver 250 ml mug coffee. Worth buying tho' for two people Quiet,quick to heat, doesn't leak, compact, stylish Not large enough range of coffee capsules available unlike Aldi otherwise I love it Show 2 replies

Love my Penguin! – So quick and easy to use and tastes great, Not expensive compared to buying a cuppa a couple of times a week at work from the canteen. So good, have purchased one for my 80 mother... and she loves hers too. Better than shop bought coffees she says. Thanks DeLonghi Nescafe Quick, easy, no fuss, and makes great drinks.  Show reply

No need for milk capsules – i found i can use a mix of water and milk about 1/3rd water to give a nice creamy coffee or hot choc instead of useing the milk capsules just use the hot choc or cappuccino/coffee capsule it goes through with no problem, the water helps to thin the milk down to go through easier then flush system out a couple of times with just water so no milk… Read more

left in line. dont know if it voids warrantee dont see how if milk is thined down, cheaper than useing milk pods and tastes better. easy to use and clean the noise it makes

So fast and convenient – just got one of these great machines,was going to get a nespresso but the hot and cold option swayed me to this,heats up quick and so simple to use and the coffee tastes great too,,was reading were this machine made warm not hot coffee,,well the one I have makes it as hot as you would buy it in a café,,i often don't follow the little bars on the… Read more ·  1

pods,i just use them as a guide and add a bit more depending on my cup size,,really happy and would recommend this machine to anyone How fast it heats up,you can make that last minute coffee in a travel mug as your going out the door to work etc I would prefer more long coffee varieties were i can add my own milk i find too many have the milk pods

OK – I have obtained a less expensive pod coffee maker and it appears to produce the required taste without the expense of an upmarket item

excellent machine – It is easy to use and clean. Very happy with it. Brought a milk frother to make a larger latte, Yum.
