Product Information

Coffee machines that do not have a digital display use coloured lights to transmit information about the machine’s status to the user. These lights can be either permanently lit or flashing and are coded so that the user knows the machine’s status just by looking at these lights. Compared with the KRUPS Nescafé Dolce Gusto Genio, the De’Longhi Dolce Gusto EDG225.W offers a similar high-pressure system of up to 15 bars, ensuring professional-quality coffees with a rich crema. Both machines are compatible with Dolce Gusto pods, providing a diverse range of over 50 beverage options. The EDG225.W also shares the compact design and adjustable drink size feature for added convenience.

Genio II: This is another good option for those looking for a budget compact Dolce Gusto coffee pod machine. You can make up to 30 different hot and cold drinks with the automatic mechanism delivering just the right amount of water. This can damage the coffee machine over time so it can cause an issue further down the line. Frequent descaling can keep your coffee machine in the best working condition for much longer.If the orange light is still on after you have descaled, then you need to ensure that it is done in ‘descaling mode’, as this will tell the machine that you have descaled, and it can store this information, so that it knows that the machine is now ready for use. We did, however, love the fact it automatically switches off after one minute of not being in use, which is economical and also saves you if you’re a bit forgetful when it comes to turning your gadgets off before you leave the house. If you turn on your Dolce Gusto coffee machine, and find that the red coloured light is on permanently, then you may have a deeper issue on your hands. A permanent red light is usually a sign that something is wrong with the machine. This could be a fault with the machine itself or a technical issue. Now, if you’re already a proud owner of a Dolce Gusto machine, then you know exactly what we’re talking about, but if you’re considering buying one, then you should know about the lights of the Dolce Gusto, too. So, what do the lights on a Dolce Gusto machine mean? That’s what we’re here to explain! What Do The Lights On A Dolce Gusto Machine Mean?

One thing I look for is compatibility with different capsules – whether the machine can use official Dolce Gusto capsules or is compatible with third-party options. This factor can affect both the varieties of coffee available to me and the long-term cost of using the machine. Capsule TypeOverall, a bit of a weird design, an intuitive touch interface and excellent coffee. What I like about it: Additionally, it has a larger capacity of 800 millilitres compared to the Genio’s 0.8-litre capacity. Overall, the De’Longhi Dolce Gusto EDG225.W presents itself as a worthy alternative to the Genio, offering similar performance and compatibility while providing additional features for enhanced user experience and a larger water tank capacity.

One thing I particularly enjoy is the adjustable drink size feature. This allows me to prepare a more substantial coffee when I’m on the go, without sacrificing any of the taste or quality. Additionally, the eco mode function is a great energy-saving feature that automatically shuts off the machine after a minute of inactivity. One aspect I particularly enjoyed was the high pressure system, which resulted in an excellent crema on my espresso shots and a delightfully frothy foam on my cappuccinos. The variety of beverage options available was also a major selling point for me, as I love experimenting with different types of coffee and even indulging in hot chocolate and teas occasionally. Compared with the KRUPS Nescafé Dolce Gusto Genio, the Krups Nescafé Dolce Gusto Lumio offers a larger capacity of 1 litre, allowing for more servings without the need for frequent refills. It features a sleek red colour and slightly larger product dimensions, adding a touch of style to your kitchen countertop. Both machines share the compatibility with Dolce Gusto pods, providing a wide beverage variety of over 50 options. With energy efficiency being a concern these days, this machine is a great choice. Its A+ energy rating ensures that it uses minimal power without compromising the quality of the beverage. However, one issue I faced was the limited water tank capacity of just 1 liter. For someone who consumes multiple cups of coffee a day, frequent refilling becomes tiresome.When you descale the Dolce Gusto coffee machine, it will mix water and the descaler through the interior components of the machine, and clean it out. If you do this without entering the machine in descaling mode, it will not recognize that it has been descaled, and so the orange light will remain on.

If you want fine control over the amount and strength of coffee, we recommend the Nescafe Dolce Gusto Melody 3 made by Krups. But you still have some control. By sliding your finger up or down the touch interface, you can increase or decrease the amount of water, thus increasing or decreasing coffee strength. To summarise, having a coffee machine at home will truly change your life. No more will you have to strut in the rain to your nearest coffee shop before work to get a cup of coffee just to feel awake. You can enjoy one in the comfort of your own living room!One impressive feature I experienced while using this machine was the ease of use – simply fill the reservoir with water, insert a pod, and let the machine do its thing. Cleanup was also a breeze because the used coffee grounds stayed in the pods, preventing any mess or fuss. The adjustable drip tray came in handy when I needed to fit different cup sizes. Start by removing any capsules in the machine – empty or otherwise. Next, empty the dispenser and fill it with clean water plus the Dolce Gusto descaling product. The ability to customize the cup size made it easy for me to adjust the strength of my coffee according to my preference. However, I did notice that the water tank capacity was limited at 0.8 liters, which meant I had to refill it more often than I would like. Moreover, the eco-mode feature, while great for conserving energy, might be annoying to some as the machine automatically turns off after 5 minutes of inactivity. Inspired by the infinity shape, the NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® Infinissima® pod coffee machine is slimline and uniquely designed to fit in any kitchen and create infinite coffee possibilities.
