Exclusive to Nescafe Dolce Gusto, our clever, easy-to-use pod system has been designed so you can enjoy coffee shop quality at home - whenever you want. The Nescafe Dolce Gusto Piccolo may be small, but with a maximum 15 bar pump pressure, this machine creates your favourite drinks in a matter of seconds. The maximum 15 bar pressure pump is essential for delivering the golden crema that you get from coffee shop quality coffee. For maximum freshness, our coffee pods are sealed after the roast has been ground to deliver to you a delicious aroma and full flavour. And with a wide variety of roast & ground coffees, delicious hot chocolate drinks and coffee shop specialties you'll wonder how you ever coped without it. Because the coffee grinds stay in the pod there is virtually no cleaning either. With the Piccolo, your drink is ready in 3 simple steps. Pop in a pod, move the lever to hot or cold, stop the water when you're ready, hey presto, your coffee, your way every time. Our machines need virtually no cleaning, however a wipe down of the machine and rinse of the capsule holder every few weeks is recommended. What makes our pods so smart : Inside every pod we use carefully selected ingredients. Then we add a little bit of technological magic. Different drinks need different amounts of pressure to release their full flavour. For example, an espresso needs high pressure to release that delicious coffee aroma and taste and milk needs less. So our clever little pods are designed to regulate the pressure so whichever drink you choose, it's made just the way it should be.
