should i buy a keurig or a nescafe dolce gusto? i am torn and don't know which one is better.. with a $30 rebate and 20% coupon at bed bath and beyond dolce gusto seems like a much better deal!

okay i'm replying to an old post and you probably bought one already. if you like and drink more frothy drinks, then gusto, if you like more coffee, keurig. easier to find pods for keurig also. gusto coffee doesn't taste that good. more variety with keurig.

can i use k-cups with my nescafe dolce gusto? has anyone out there tried? Mainly I am interested in tea pods for my british husband.

It depends on how many different types of coffee you would like to drink! The keurig has A LOt more options than the dolce. However the dolce brews at a very high pressure which allows it to make lattes and cappuccinos. Check out this link for a lot of good info on these machines:http://www.nichepage.com/n/kitchenware/single-cup-coffee-maker

If what you are looking for "just a cup of coffee" then the Dolce Gusto still works great. But the Keurig machine has a lot of different kinds of "just plain coffee"! Personally, I'm not interested in that. The Dolce Gusto makes a perfectly terrific Latte and that's what I'm looking for anyway.If you have ever had a regular Latte/Espresso machine, the beauty of the Dolce Gusto machines is that they are so easy to deal with. Almost no cleaning, and if you use good filtered water then it is trouble free. I bought two. One for home and one for work!

K-cups won't fit into the Dolce Gusto. If you're buying the DG anyway, you could use it to dispense hot water for loose tea or tea bags.

The k-cups do not fit this, but I discovered if your a tea drinker a tea bag is great. Just put in capsule holder close run and wow the best cup of tea!! Now Im going to buy the coffee bags!Yes I do suggest this. I enjoy teas and a great latte or cappuchino.

but do they carry the coffee, the BB@B in my area does not. If I had known that the coffee could not be purchased in my area (closest is about a 50 mile drive) I would have bought the keurig

I was given the Dolce Gusto as a gift. I was delighted until I discovered that the pods are only sold online and that there are no other pods that will fit this machine. Bummer.

I get my pods from Target, however, I also bought a permanent pod from Amazon and a pod maker and filters that you can make your own favorite coffees when you can't get senseo at a reasonable price. Love both items. Love my Senseo, too.

I too have the Dolce Gusto, and have been searching for other pods that will fit--Does anyone have any suggestions?

The used ones are good for parts. I loved them but gave up because I kept on buying used ones to keep mine going. I decided to buy a Keurig K45 or K75 (Don't remember) but love the k-cups a lot better. They are a lot more money but worth it.

You'll need to run another cycle, either of the same type, or you can get creative and add a chocolate or an extra espresso. They have now come out with new Gevalia & Maxwell House breakfast coffee discs which do produce more, using one overflowed my usual cup which was never filled by the original size. I found the new large ones at Bed Bath & Beyond. Use the 20% off coupon that they send out weekly in the mail.

Me, too. Got the Ecopods. Don't work. My Cafe makes much better coffee than Keurig. Please let me know what works. It's not easy finding the pre-made single serving pods neither...but I really want refillable pod.

I think so. My suggestion to save some extra money is order the pods from Costco (it costs a lot up front because you are getting like 75 or something). Or Starbucks has about a quarterly home coffee sale for 20% off. So stock up then and you shouldn't ever pay full price and it's WAY cheaper than a store made one. If you make more than 2 a week I would say yes! But whatever you use it for I would not recommend using the milk pods. They are not very good in my opinion.

Amazon may not be participating in the rebate, but their current price reflects a savings of almost $50 vs. what you would pay at a Nespresso retailer or on nespresso.com. That, coupled with the fast, free shipping and confidence I have in amazon, makes the rebate immaterial to me. Plus, who likes waiting for a stupid rebate check?

SwissMiss (which is a company owned by parent company of Nespresso... Nestle) is wrong about the prices. Amazon is cheaper than Nespresso. You only have to go to their website to learn this.

You have to use the Nespresso's coffee pods! I have to tell you that this is Fabulous machine! I watch for the specials that they have & free shipping from time to time. That's when I stock up. The Nespresso machine & coffee are a real treat for me now that I've found my favorite flavors. I hope this helps! It is also so much easier to clean than older styles of espresso makers! I know some people may be thinking of the Keurig capsules which you can use your own coffee for that machine & they say they would rather buy them already filled.

The pods included in this variety pack are all caffeinated. I would order directly from nespresso.com. You can order the coffees you like (by strength and/or caffeine content) and the cost is half of anything you'd pay on Amazon, even with the shipping. Edited to fix a typo

I have only used the Dolce Gusto. I'm familiar with both the 'K' cup and the Tassimo 'T' cups, and just from casual observation don't expect that they would work. However, I could be wrong.

Agreed. I wish I would have bought one much sooner. It works, makes a damn good cup of coffee (especially compared to the Keurig My K-Cup) and you can get a pound of good coffee for $8-10 (obviously less if you're not picky...im picky)

I have not used anything except the Dolce Gusto pods. The pods are so small I do not want it to run over so I stick to the pods that were designed for the machine.

No. Only the Dolce Gusto pods work in these machines, and no fill-your-own pods or filters. If you want an occasional cappuccino and don't want the mess -- or to pay $4-5 at the coffee shop -- then this is the way to go. If you shop online with care, a cappuccino runs around $1 or a non-milk drink runs about half of that (esspresso, longo, americano, tea). We love ours. Considering getting one for my Mom, who prefers a European style coffee once or twice a day. The Dolce Gusto is perfect for that. FYI: the best deal we've found for pods is to "subscribe" either at the Dolce-Gusto store, or as of last week or so, here at Amazon. It's slightly cheaper here at Amazon, but to get the best price you need to buy 3-packs of the same flavor. The subscription doesn't have to be monthly and can be changed or cancelled any time. The next best price is by subscribing for four boxes at the Dolce Gusto store. That gets you free, fast shipping and you can mix the flavors any way that you like. Again, the subscription does not have to be monthly, and you can cancel it anytime. We don't want the same mix of flavors every month, so we cancel one subscription and immediately start another with the adjusted mix of flavors that we want in the next shipment.
