If you believe that one part is missing, please call Consumer Services Center and we will help you find a suitable solution. Where can I buy accessories, consumables or spare parts for my appliance? Ideally both channels (Hot/Cold) could be descaled and this is the procedure applied for automatic machines. If the machine has no power or if the machine can be switched-on but the pump does not start when selecting the Hot/Cold button (no noise), there is nothing that you can do and the machine must be repaired. Once beverage preparation is complete and the power button stopped blinking red (about 5s), remove and discard the capsule. Don't keep it in the capsule holder. Can I put milk in water tank?

This is normal: as long as the capsule is not removed and discarded, it will continue to drip into the cup or the drip tray (once the cup is removed). The dripping lasts longer for coffee capsules than for creamer capsules. To stop dripping, remove and discard the used capsule after the light stops blinking. Upon removal of the capsule holder and the capsule from the machine, some water/product drops are coming out from the top of the injector capsule. Each time the consumer touches the Hot or Cold button, it is considered as an extraction. Descaling warning is based on the number of extractions and it is triggered every 300 extractions by a orange ligthing of the ON/OFF button. Machine still works but we recommend to descale it. In addition, I realize that this Dolce Gusto machine review is mainly about its coffee making capabilities, but I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that this machine makes a fantastic hot chocolate as well! ConclusionSelect the cold channel, lift and put down the water tank several times and then fix it, flow should start. If not, the needle is probably clogged. The machine is not supposed to be used as a water boiler. Without capsule the flow is higher, the heat transfer is lower and the temperature will probably not reach the expectation of consumers. Are there any other safety precautions I should take? I have small children and I am concerned about their safety. It is necessary to purge the machine before its first use. To do this, select on the head the maximum amount of water from the machine, drop an empty container under the head of the machine and press the Cold Water position (blue button) and wait for the end of the stream. Repeat the process on the hot water position (red button). Your machine is then ready for use. This can prevent clogging in the water outlet and hygiene issues. How often should I descale my machine? For medium hardness water, descaling every 3/4 months gets rid of limescale build up, keeping waterflow fast and beverage temperature within expectations.

No, you must not pour the water tank with milk. The system works only with water. The usage of any other liquid, like milk, can be harmful for your machine. How could I make my beverage hotter? To ensure your full safety during the use of your machine, follow the "recommendations for safe use" in the manual that came with your machine.

Where to buy?

While Nespresso is Nestlé’s capsule system for coffee connoisseurs, Dolce Gusto is, as the Nescafé branding would suggest, aimed at consumers looking to step up to real coffee from instant or filtered beverages. That positioning is further enhanced by the fact that you can buy Dolce Gusto capsules in the supermarket, while Nespresso capsules can only be obtained online, or from the Nespresso boutiques. Stylish and funky There is no limit in the number of coffees a machine can make in a day, but consumers need to be careful not to make too many coffees in a row, because if they are continuously extracting beverages it might lead to an over-heating of specific elements of the machine resulting in error mode triggering. Frequently asked questions 1. What types of coffee does the Dolce Gusto Mini Me Coffee Machine make?

For a daily average usage of 4 cups and if the water is hard, we recommend descaling your machine at least every 3 months.One of the coolest things about the Dolce Gusto is not just the machine itself, but the pods also – they are specially designed to regulate the pressure of the coffee maker according to the type of drink you choose. To prolong the life of your machine, it is recommended to use the descaling kit sold on our webshop or other liquid descaling kit suitable for coffee machines. How often should I clean my machine? To be noticed that water hardness is the first reason of machine calcification and so it is recommended to descale the machine frequently (every 3months or less according to water hardness). Could I leave the used capsule in the machine or should I immediately discard it? Do not use your appliance. To avoid any danger, have it replaced by an approved repair centre. Why is the power button orange? The NESCAFE Dolce Gusto Mini Me is an automatic single-serve coffee machine that allows you to use ultra-convenient pods to create a wide range of roast and ground coffees, as well as sumptuous hot chocolate drinks and various barista-quality specialty beverages.

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)? The capsules are designed to deliver an even distribution of water and pressure over the coffee to ensure that flavour is maximized. This system uses pressure similar to that of professional machines.If the on/off button turns orange/yellow continuously (descaling warning), you should descale the machine. You then just select the correct volume and push the lever to the right. The Mini Me is fairly loud during extraction, but not as loud as the Nespresso Inisia. There’s also a degree of vibration, but not enough to make the cup dance around on the drip tray like the Dualit Xpress 3-in-1. 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. On new models, the needle can actually be removed and the main purpose is to allow consumers to clean the needle specially when it is clogged or the flow starts to decrease. This cleaning must be followed by a full descaling of the machine. There is no flow, what should I do?
