Dolce Gusto Coffee Maker which one
After my thread last week about the nespresso maker I think I have decided on a dolce gusto but which model do I need.
Melody 2 or Ciricolo is there a big difference apart from the design?
There seems to be different model numbers for the Melody. Amazon and Currys both have different numbers how can I tell which one is newer.
Thanks

I got a Dolce Gusto machine for my Xmas present from the wife last year. Love it, and I've used it a lot this year
One tip, if the price isn't too different, order the machine direct from Dolce Gusto as you get loads of reward points which you can redeem with them for pods.

How do you control how much water is used for a drink, just press and hold or is it measured?
I need hot chocolate and cappuccino reviews lol
I can't decide if it need the melody or piccolo, the piccolo takes 0.6 litres the melody is about 1.2 litres of water.

I've been working on a review of our Morphy Richards slow-cooker; will post later. Miele vacuums are excellent.

I think i will go for the melody for the price difference.
I had a tefal quick cup and the drinks were only warm not really hot like a kettle.
Is this going to be the same. Can you drink then straight away or are they to hot. Hopefully to hot.
Thanks

They're not scalding hot no, the temperature of the water never reaches boiling point. I usually leave mine for a couple of mins at most for lattes etc. Lungo coffees etc that don't have milk last longer

I would not use it much just can't decide if the capability of making more drinks in one hit which would rarely be needed is worth the extra 10-15 quid and extra space. Decisions decisions lol
Then there are the accessories, I can see this getting expensive lol.

Cool nice one. I'm torn between the 2. How long does it take to be ready from filling? And if you leave them on, I assume it's always read to "vend"

Usually I fill up the reservoir, switch it on and go get my pods out the cupboard, by the time I get back the machine is ready.
You can't leave it on all the time though, it switches itself off after 5mins of inactivity

Got mine last night and love it already. Just need to get the cups now so I can measure it all properly. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to lol.
Made the free hot chocolate that comes with it, but ended up a little watery. But just made a latte macchiano or something and that was spot on!
Now to put an order in on the dolce site and see how many cups and glasses I can get for free lol.

Had my old model Dolce Gusto for 2 years, use it every day and love it The coffee is every bit as good as the bean to cup machine at work, but they may just use cheapo beans

I went out and bought a few boxes of pods tonight. Quite disappointed with the chocolate, but must say the coffee is good, but being a non coffee drinker my endorsement does not count for much lol.
Pleased with it though. Only moan is measuring the water, seems it's easier done in the Dolce cups, which I will end up getting lol.

Still working on how I get the right measure of water without faffing about.

Just ordered one off Amazon.
Popped into a Comet store on my way past this morning and they're selling them for £69.
Out of stock though until at least after Chrimbo week.
This had better be good - I've bought it off the back of all your recommendations!
I've also got a bag of Jamaican Blue beans in the fridge ready for Christmas day brekky so I'll have to get the old perco out.

Lol all depends on your taste mate. For my unrefined taste buds, it's bliss.
I like mine though, still just trying to figure out how to measure the water.
Other owners how do you do yours?
50ml here, 120ml there.... Is there a method?
