KRUPS NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto NEO Latte YY5679

With the Krups NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto NEO Latte YY5679, I can effortlessly make a wide variety of coffee specialties, hot chocolate, and tea. The machine automatically recognizes each pod and adjusts its settings. I do need to place the machine near a power outlet, though.

Many different coffee specialties

I like being able to switch between different types of coffee. In the morning, I like to start with a cappuccino, and later in the day, I often opt for an espresso. I also find it convenient that I can adjust the temperature and amount in the app. Normally, I'm not a fan of powdered milk because the froth tends to be a bit watery. But with this machine, the milk froth was nice and thick and creamy. That's handy for cappuccinos, latte macchiatos, or even a caramel macchiato when I'm craving something sweet.

Also makes tea and hot chocolate

Besides coffee, I also enjoy a cup of tea. I simply insert the tea pod into the machine and, with the push of a button, I can make a cup of NEO Marrakech tea, for example. The flavor is well-balanced, not too strong and not too weak. It works the same way for hot chocolate. It comes out just as creamy as the milky coffees, perfect for an evening on the couch.

Compostable coffee pods

The NEO pods are compostable and can be disposed of with organic waste. So I don't worry about unnecessary waste. The pods are specially designed for this machine, so they fit perfectly and the machine knows which settings are needed. This not only ensures convenience but also a great taste.

Modern design

The modern design fits well in a sleek kitchen, especially in white or black. The machine is slim and takes up little countertop space. The drip tray is adjustable, so I can easily place a small espresso cup or a tall glass underneath. With the push of a button, I can immediately see if the drip tray is full or if the water needs to be refilled. Did I forget to put a pod in the machine? It simply lets me know. Very convenient.

I have to say I bought this because my fully automatic one broke, and the cashback was nice. I used to have a Dolce Gusto, but I wasn't a fan of the pods. This one is much better, very small, easy to use, though I still find the coffee not very hot. If you like to add milk, it's a problem. It's really coffee for immediate consumption, but that's just a personal preference, of course.

Very tasty coffee, and the coffees with milk have an extra frothy layer of milk.

Many different varieties are also available!
