How to choose a capsule coffee machine?
Although these devices are not as complex and multi-functional as bean coffee machines or coffee makers, they should still be taken seriously. A correctly selected model does not have useless functions and will save on maintenance.
First of all, you should determine how often and how many people will use the coffee machine. The volume of the water tank depends on this. Dolce Gusto system devices hold from 0.6 to 1.3 liters. The minimum volume is enough for 2-3 people, the maximum for a large family or small office.
The portion size adjustment function is useful: it allows you to select the desired cup size for different types of drinks.
Capsule models are cheaper than regular coffee machines. Among the models that work with the Dolce Gusto system, you can find devices from 4 to 14-15 thousand rubles - this is less than the popular Nespresso analogue.
But the difference is offset by the cost of capsules. Over time, the total price of the device may exceed the cost of an advanced machine, so you should choose capsule models only if you prepare no more than 2-3 cups of drink a day.
Another case where a capsule coffee machine can come in handy is the need to constantly keep track of prepared portions (for example, in a hotel). If counting is not so important, it is better to purchase a commercial-grade device.
The power of the model affects the heating of water in the coffee machine: the higher it is, the faster the device will be ready for use. Dolce Gusto devices become operational in 25-40 seconds.
The bulk of Dolce Gusto coffee machines are produced under the Krups brand, although there are other manufacturers: Redmond, De'Longhi, Elson, Inhouse Multicoffee. Some models provide adapters for two capsule systems: not only Dolce Gusto, but also Nespresso. This reduces the time spent searching and replacing sets of capsules, and also expands the range of flavors. Nespresso capsules, for example, will appeal more to black coffee lovers.
Sophistication and style in every model
The sophisticated design of KRUPS NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto coffee machines is perfect for home and office interiors. The sophistication and smoothness of shapes will harmoniously fit into the space, and classic shades will allow you to choose the most stylish solution.
In addition, all our models have a power saving mode that automatically turns off after five minutes.
This is not just a household appliance with a standard set of functions, but a reliable assistant, a stylish accessory and your personal barista.

Bosch Tassimo or Nespresso coffee maker: which is better?
It’s impossible to say for sure whether Tassimo or Nespresso is better. On the one hand, the Bosch coffee machine has a unique system for individual preparation of drinks - the device reads data from a barcode. The shape of the flattened disc allows you to prepare rich coffee even at low pressure levels. Bosch developers put the required amount of ground raw materials into capsules to prepare rich espresso.
Nespresso is a machine for those who appreciate classic black coffee; there are 26 variations in total. Coffee with milk can only be prepared in more expensive machines, or using a special cappuccino maker. At the same time, Nespresso positions itself as one that uses only the highest quality raw materials to prepare its capsules. Tassimo tablets cannot be replaced with anything, but you can easily find analogues for Nespresso.
Whether Tassimo or Nespresso is better, or whether it is better to pay attention to Dolce Gusto is an individual question. The buyer should think about what he expects from a coffee machine - rich taste, a variety of drinks, or classic black coffee with a balanced aromatic bouquet.
Are Tassimo capsules compatible with Nespresso coffee machines?
Nespresso capsules are not suitable for the Bosch Tassimo coffee machine, because... Tassimr capsules are distinguished by their original layout, designated as T-disk. The same applies to Nespresso products - they will not work with a Bosch coffee maker.
Experts recommend using only capsules of the same name with coffee machines. There are no interchangeable options in Bosch Tassimo and Nescafe Dolce Gusto, but for Nespresso you can look for analogues from other brands, for example, L'OR capsule coffee.
What capsules are there?
You need to approach the purchase of a capsule coffee machine very consciously. It is not enough to know what their service life is and what breakdowns may occur. You also need to know what capsules are available for a coffee machine of this brand, where they are sold, how accessible they are, how much they cost, and the range that can be found throughout the Russian Federation.
Another important question is whether Chinese engineers have invented reusable capsule containers for this brand or whether it is not so popular as to take up time from specialists.
The fact is that when the budget for original products runs out, the search begins for reusable plastic or metal capsules. Fiddling with them in the morning is still a pleasure, but you can take regular coffee from a pack, pour it in and brew it. Long, but cheap.
We can immediately say: not a single self-respecting company will release products that will be used by owners of other cars. This is what business is all about - selling the coffee maker cheaply, then making money on capsule coffee for the rest of the time.
Many people have already come to the conclusion that it is cheaper and more profitable to buy a regular good carob model and experiment with coffee varieties. Therefore, questions about whether Nespresso capsules are suitable for Dolce Gusto or Dolce Gusto for Bosch Tassimo are inappropriate in advance, unless the cups are fake.
For Bosch Tassimo
It is almost impossible to purchase alternative capsules for Bosch Tassimo. The original packages have a barcode that is read by the machine, after which it starts working. If there is no barcode, the machine will not turn on. Bosch Tassimo has a small assortment, and there are no analogues on the market.
Another drawback concerns lovers of cappuccino and various milk combinations. You have to buy capsules separately, which doubles the cost of the drink.
Consumers may come across instant capsule coffee with all sorts of synthetic additives, which is also not good. This applies to infant formula.
Another disadvantage: previously, dairy products contained natural milk. Now the manufacturer saves money and uses dry analogues that are not natural. This is both bad for health and worsens the taste.
Plus - the ideal amount of coffee in one serving is 9 grams of powder.
Are Dolce Gusto capsules compatible with the Tassimo coffee machine?
The Dolce Gusto coffee maker is produced by the world-famous Nescafe brand. Almost all capsules produced by Nescafe are suitable for such a coffee machine. But it is better to purchase those that are labeled Dolce Gusto. The assortment does not include a variety of coffee varieties, but there is a wide range of options with milk, as well as cocoa and tea.
The Bosch Tassimo coffee maker is produced in the USA, and capsules for it are manufactured only by Kraft Foods; there are no interchangeable analogues. The answer to the question of whether Dolce Gusto capsules are suitable for a Tassimo coffee machine is unequivocal - no. Bosch can only work with varieties developed specifically for it. Products from Bosch are distinguished by a specific shape - a disk, which is why they can only work with coffee machines of the same name.
For Nespresso
Which capsules are suitable for this brand of coffee machine:
- Counterfeits from other companies - often unknown on the market, and cheap.
- High-quality capsules produced with the permission of Nespresso have almost the same price as the original.
- Original. You need to be more careful here. The fact is that the products that were imported from Europe had a completely different taste, in the sense of better than the supposedly original ones, but officially sold on the Russian market. The price was not lower, which is very confusing.

Some of the companies that produce decent coffee include Pelican Rouge, Egoist, Smart Coffee Club, and Julius Meinl. To complement the assortment, it is recommended to find products from the brands Single Cap Coffee, Compagna del Arabica, Cafe Corsini, Blues, Porto Rosso.
