Dulce Gusto pods

36 replies

I got a coffee machine for Christmas, it's a Nescafe Dulce Gusto. The cafe au lait pods are lovely, as are the hot chocolate ones but I bought a pack of 3 cappuccino pods from amazon and they are awful. Some pods are just strong horrible black coffee, some are just milk. Absolutely disgusting to taste. I thought I may have a rogue box but tried random ones from each box and everyone I tried was undrinkable.
I also bought some latte macciata pods today and they are equally as foul.
Has anyone else experienced this? Both the cappuccino and the macciata pods are honestly disgusting. I'm so disappointed.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 15/01/2019 22:07

They do taste nice, so one white one and one black in the quantities on the lids

bruffin · 15/01/2019 22:11

Just realised as the others said your making it wrong

The latte is level 5 milk and level 2 coffee
Cappuccino level6 milk and level 1 coffee.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 15/01/2019 22:11

Its not others bruffin

Its just me Grin

The cappucino pods are all the same, how do you know which is milk and which is coffee? Thank you for the replies. The hot chocolate ones are just single pods - I get the Malteser ones. The cafe au lait are nice but my DH needs an extra spoonful of instant in them Smile

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 15/01/2019 22:13

Oh i was wondering how you were doing the chocolate

There shoukd be 8 brown pods and 8 white per box

If thats not right you do indeed have a dodgy supply

Terribletweens · 15/01/2019 22:13

We love them but yes, you do have to follow the instructions for each type and look on the box for how strong they are if you don't like strong coffee.

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 15/01/2019 22:13

Maltesers hot chocolate???

bruffin · 15/01/2019 22:14

The malteser are gorgeous

The milk is white bottom and the coffee black

Darkestnight · 15/01/2019 22:14

There is a app from dolce gusto which has a timer when to add the pods to the machine and works great. The app has all the flavours listed so should be no problem finding the one u use.

AfterSchoolWorry · 15/01/2019 22:15

The cappuccino ones are black for the coffee bit and white for the milk!

bruffin · 15/01/2019 22:15

You can get the malteser hot chocolate in wilkinsons

Terribletweens · 15/01/2019 22:15

The Cappuccino have all the same colour tops but the colour of the actual pod is white for milk and black I think for the coffee part, you need one of each for each cup.

bruffin · 15/01/2019 22:16

My machine is automatic so you can set the quantity

Tetrapanex · 15/01/2019 22:17

The Malteaser ones are just one pod per drink as they aren't 'official' Dolce Gusto brand. The Dolce Gusto hot choc and cappuccinos have 8 white pods and 8 brown pods per box. You use one of each per drink. It tells you on the box which order to put them through the machine.

AmIthatbloodycold · 15/01/2019 22:17

Cheese. The milk pods are the ones with the whiter base colour, the coffee ones are brown

We got the Maltesers last week They're delicious. Very ovaltiney

Rufusthebewilderedreindeer · 15/01/2019 22:18

bruffin

The one in our kitchen is automatic but the one in the pub shed isnt Grin

Prefer the kitchen one...less overflowing

cheeseandbiscuitsplease · 15/01/2019 22:22

Thank you for all your help. But honestly all my pods are exactly the same. There is no difference at all. The pods and the bases are all the same colour.
They were from Amazon.
