De'Longhi Nescafé Dolce Gusto Mini Me, Single Serve Capsule Coffee Machine Starter Kit, Including 6 boxes of Coffee Pods, EDG155.BG, 230 Milliliters, Black & Grey

Product Information

The amount of beverage depends on the size of the cup, the position of the drip tray, and sometimes the milk and coffee powders which are natural products that might show a small seasonality effect. Water or liquid is leaking outside the machine during beverage preparation. Using the standard espresso capsule, the Mini Me produced surprisingly good results. The coffee hit the cup at around 61C, which is as near to perfect as you’ll get from a budget counter top machine. The espresso was delivered with a creamy, golden brown crema too, which hints at the smooth taste awaiting you in the cup. I should have mentioned this earlier, but one of the coolest things about the Dolce Gusto is the fact that it has a very compact footprint. For someone with as many kitchen gadgets and appliances as I have, it can be easy for my worktop to begin looking crowded, so I was relieved when I first unboxed this highly compact machine. 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. Get your day off to the best possible start with a delicious coffee made by the De'Longhi Dolce Gusto MiniMe EDG155.BG Pod Coffee Machine.

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.

Where to buy?

As you can see from the photos, the Dolce Gusto Mini Me is a pretty funky looking machine. In fact, the whole Dolce Gusto range of machines have that same organic, rounded style to them, which will undoubtedly add a bit of cool to your kitchen. Over time, limescale slows waterflow, can reduce the effectiveness of heating the water used to make your drinks and can finally clog the needle used to pierce the capsule and to deliver the water. If you live in an area where the water is very hard, you may wish to descale more often. Does the water tank need to be cleaned?

Select 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. Verify that the drip-tray is correctly positioned. The coffee flows very slowly during operation of my Dolce Gusto machine. What should I do? When the power button is orange instead of green, it means that the descaling warning has been triggered. This feature is available on models produced since 2014. If priming is not possible after these manipulations, take the appliance to an authorized service center. What should I do if my appliance is not working? 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?This is perhaps the most thrilling thing I discovered about using the Dolce Gusto – it’s super-easy to operate, and it can crank out the beverage of your choice in only a handful of seconds.
