COFFEE TYPES
Dolce Gusto is a Nescafé concept. Dolce Gusto Coffee Machines are used in the so-called Dolce Gusto manner. This means that you can make coffee at home at the push of a button. Dolce Gusto has an enormous variety of coffee types and even tea and chocolate milk. The concept is actually similar to that of Nespresso.
More than 30 varieties with Dolce Gusto
This way you can make intense black coffees, deliciously creamy white coffees, invigorating teas and sweet chocolate treats, you can choose from more than 30 types.
The Dolce Gusto concept uses sealed coffee cups. Fresh coffee is brewed under 15 bar pressure. There are many people who really like Dolce Gusto cups. The cups are a bit more expensive than fresh coffee, but the machine is much cheaper. You have to decide for yourself whether you like the Dolce Gusto own brand cups as much as the original ones from Nescafé. In any case, we have already seen machines for €50 and the most expensive device we saw costs approximately €300. Calculate here whether the Dolce Gusto Machine is beneficial for you or whether it is better to choose a fully automatic bean machine.
COFFEE TYPES
With the fully automatic bean to coffee machine you can make delicious fresh coffee. You fill the machine with fresh coffee beans. When you make a cup of coffee, the beans are first ground and the freshly ground coffee is automatically made into a cup of coffee. Most machines have the ability to adjust the grind size and strength. You can also make a latte machiato or cappucino with most machines.
Fresh coffee from coffee beans
The purchase of most automatic bean machines is somewhat higher. The basic machines start from around 350 euros but can go up to over 1000 euros. That seems expensive, but grinding fresh beans is many times cheaper than purchasing Nespresso or Dolce Gusto coffee capsules or ESE pods. For those who drink more than one cup a day, it quickly becomes an economical choice. Of course you can also buy very expensive beans, but you should not compare apples and oranges. If you buy expensive coffee beans, you should compare them with the more expensive Nespresso or Dolce Gusto coffee capsules or ESE pods.
COFFEE TYPES
Nespresso is a coffee concept based on the use of long-life ground coffee in aluminum coffee cups. It is a concept developed by Nestlé. Both the capsule and the method of making coffee are patented, which initially meant that coffee could only be made exclusively with Nespresso cups from Nestlé.
Nespresso cups
If you put a Nespresso capsule in the machine, you can make coffee at the touch of a button. The cup is perforated by the device and hot water is pressed through it under a pressure of up to 19 bar. You can then throw away the cup.
The cups or capsules are quite expensive, but since some of the patents expired in 2012, all kinds of other coffee brands also produce the capsules. These also fit in Nespresso machines, which makes drinking coffee a bit cheaper. Yet the question is to what extent this is a cheap alternative to version coffee from the fully automatic coffee machine.
COFFEE TYPES
Coffee from ESE pods approaches the taste of really fresh coffee. These pads resemble Senseo pads but are of much better quality. Each pad is packed airtight. The taste is often experienced as very good. However, the ESE pads or servings are expensive to use. The price of the machines is between the fully automatic bean machine and a Nespresso or Dolce Gusto machine.
ESE Servings
THE ESE pods were invented by Illy and are also called E.S.E (Easy Serving Espresso Pod). These are small compressed coffee pods containing 7 grams of coffee. The pad is used in special espresso machines that fit these pads. You should not compare the pads with Senseo pads because the quality is much higher. Not only Illy offers the pads. Lavazza, for example, but also various private brands also offer the pads. Some E.S.E. machines also contain a piston in which you can put freshly ground coffee. That is very affordable and you can choose how you want to make coffee.
COFFEE TYPES
Do you like tasty, easy or cheap? Most people find coffee from freshly ground beans tastier than coffee from coffee cups or pads. Self-ground coffee beans are often cheaper to use than cups or pads. With beans you automatically pay for a more expensive machine. For some people, coffee cups are an easy middle ground in terms of taste experience, but coffee cups are expensive to use.
