NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Genio S Automatic Coffee Machine, 0.8 liters, White by Krups

Product Information

The frequency that you should descale the machine will depend on the water hardness and how frequently you use the machine. On the left, you will find the temperature icon with four options: blue, yellow, orange and red. This will blink as the machine heats up, which takes less than 30secs to reach the highest temperature. It will also blink when you’re trying to use a colder setting and the machine is too warm. It is important to assess where this leakage is coming from (water tank, capsule holder or underneath the machine). Once beverage preparation is complete and the power button stopped blinking red (about 5s), remove and discard the capsule. Don't keep it in the capsule holder. Can I put milk in water tank? Select the cold channel, lift and put down the water tank several times and then fix it, flow should start. If not, the needle is probably clogged.

At the end of the preparation of the drink, the on/off button flashes red for about 5 seconds. Do not remove the capsule holder during this time! If speed and convenience are the most important factors and you don’t mind a slightly artificial milk flavour, or are interested in the couple of plant-based options, the Genio S Touch could be for you. What impressed me about this machine was its speed. In addition to a fast heat-up time, the latte was ready in less than 1min30secs, with the milk pod taking 40secs, and the espresso one about 27secs with the boost function activated. Meanwhile, an americano took 50secs and an XL version only 1min5secs. The DeLonghi Nescafe dolce gusto genio s is very much an entry level machine, both in terms of price and in functionality. Having said that, it does what it can do fairly well. We like that milky drinks are possible and are so mess-free, and if you’re not too much of a coffee snob these are likely to satisfy your craving for a deskside cappuccino while working from home very well. Its plus points are how little worktop space it requires, its portability (you can easily take this on your staycation) and its ease of use which would be difficult to simplify. Anyone looking for more functionality, look to the s plus or the s touch for extras like espresso boost for that big caffeine buzz, or for temperature adjustments. Voucher codesOver time, limescale slows waterflow, can reduce the effectiveness of heating the water used to make your drinks and can finally clog the needle used to pierce the capsule and to deliver the water.

For a daily average usage of 4 cups and if the water is hard, we recommend descaling your machine at least every 3 months. To ensure your full safety during the use of your machine, follow the "recommendations for safe use" in the manual that came with your machine. Take out and reposition the tank every 3 seconds. There should be air bubbles escaping from the tank valve.

Design and features

The machine need to be repaired. Why do I sometimes get different foam levels/amount of beverage even though I always press on the same number of bars? On some models (Jovia, Oblo, Drop, Stelia, Movenza, Eclipse, Piccolo produced since end 2014) there is a descaling reminder.

An Italian family company, DeLonghi boasts a strong history in coffee; it launched the first Bar line of machinery in 1990, and now offers everything from traditional espresso pumps to hi-tech super-automatic bean-to-cups.No, you can only use safely machines from countries with the same voltage. In the case the voltage is higher than the one where the machine was bought, it won't work or the fuses will burn. In case the voltage is lower then it's possible that the machine won't work. Various topics What makes an authentic Espresso Coffee? A red “shower” icon will light up when a descaling is due. According to the manual, the machine needs to be descaled after every 300 extractions. All the pods I used with this machine came with suggested water level settings, making my initial tests easier. If the machine is not descaled on a regular basis and consumers use hard water (highly charged in calcium carbonate), the machine becomes scaly and the needle is likely clogged. For more details about the LEDs on your machine, please refer to the user manual of the machine. Can I use a machine in countries with different voltages?
