Product Information

For both options, You can choose coffee based on origin (Colombia, Peru, Ethiopia, etc.), go decaf, or opt for flavored drinks, such as caramel, chocolate, and more.

Dolce Gusto

Nestle stands behind both Nespresso and Dolce Gusto, but these two coffee machine ranges and pods are very different. The coffee makers use different technologies, brew different kinds of drinks, and are priced differently. Choose Nespresso if you’re a big espresso lover, or go for Dolce Gusto if drink variety is your primary concern. Overall, Nespresso wins when it comes to espresso flavor, especially for the VertuoLine machines. Nespresso wins when it comes to barista-style coffees, i.e., espresso drinks. I found their espresso is very close to the shots you get from a traditional espresso machine — a flavorful body and a rich crema. Taste is the deciding factor when choosing a coffee machine, but it’s also very subjective. So, will you get a more flavorful drink from a Dolce Gusto or a Nespresso coffee machine? It depends. Dolce Gusto is a better choice if you don’t particularly care about gourmet coffee and want to drink flavorful espresso-based drinks. This is a better option if drink variety is your primary requirement and you’re on a tight budget. It’s also a good option if you don’t want to deal with milk frothing or having to get a separate frother. Nespresso Vs Dolce Gusto: Final ThoughtsDolce Gusto has a larger selection of milk-based drinks compared to Nespresso — you can even choose between a regular and skinny cappuccino. Finally, you can also brew iced drinks, hot chocolates, and several different tea blends. Milk Frothing Dolce Gusto makes milk-based drinks using powdered milk. For example, you’ll need one espresso capsule and one milk capsule to make a cappuccino. The milk capsule can contain sugar and other natural and artificial flavors.Meanwhile, Nespresso has a standalone milk frother (more on that later) You use one pod to brew espresso and a second milk pod to brew milk-based drinks, such as macchiato, cappuccino, or a latte.

Dolce gusto pods contain finely ground compressed coffee. You insert the pod into the coffee machine and choose one of the seven coffee sizes. Once the Dolce Gusto coffee machine heats up, the water turns into steam and brews through the pod into the cup.These capsules are less expensive compared to Nespresso. They come in boxes of 8, 12, 16, and 32 pods and are widely available in supermarkets and online. Drink Options Nespresso Nespresso capsules use premium freshly ground coffee. Also, Nespresso often has gourmet coffee blends, which are more flavorful than Dolce Gusto. Nespresso pods come in “sleeves” of 10 pods. We’ve always liked Nespresso because their pods are very easily recyclable. Milk frothing is one of the crucial differences between Nespresso and Dolce Gusto. This is important is you like lattes in the morning. Nespresso Overall, in terms of milk-based drinks, both coffee machines are pretty equal. However, Dolce Gusto espresso isn’t quite as flavorful as Nespresso’s. Capsules Used If you’re a coffee connoisseur who wants a flavorful espresso and high-quality coffee, go for a Nespresso coffee machine. Nespresso is also a good choice for you if you aren’t on a strict budget, mostly drink espresso, and don’t mind investing in a separate milk frother. Dolce Gusto
