When the power button is orange instead of green, it means that the descaling warning has been triggered. This feature is available on models produced since 2014. What we can advise is that consumers can make 5-6 coffees in a row, but then they need to wait for a moment (1-2 minutes should be enough) before resuming extracting. Can I change the color of the red wire of NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto® machine? However it is possible to prepare these cold beverages with the Hot function. How to use my machine in full safety? The NESCAFE Dolce Gusto Mini Me is an automatic single-serve coffee machine that allows you to use ultra-convenient pods to create a wide range of roast and ground coffees, as well as sumptuous hot chocolate drinks and various barista-quality specialty beverages. Verify that the drip-tray is correctly positioned. The coffee flows very slowly during operation of my Dolce Gusto machine. What should I do?

At the end of the preparation, the ON/OFF button flashes red for about 5 seconds. Do not open the handle during this time!I should have mentioned this earlier, but one of the coolest things about the Dolce Gusto is the fact that it has a very compact footprint. For someone with as many kitchen gadgets and appliances as I have, it can be easy for my worktop to begin looking crowded, so I was relieved when I first unboxed this highly compact machine. The quality of the final beverage is not impacted and can be consumed. Before preparing the next cup, clean and dry the capsule holder, particularly the beverage outlet opening. Once I finish beverage preparation and stop the machine, there is still continuous dripping of product into the cup. Each time the consumer touches the Hot or Cold button, it is considered as an extraction. Descaling warning is based on the number of extractions and it is triggered every 300 extractions by a orange ligthing of the ON/OFF button. Machine still works but we recommend to descale it. All you have to do is pop in the pod of your choice, select whatever volume you desire using the machine’s volume selector, and then adjust the lever to hot or cold based on whatever drink you choose. 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.

To be perfectly honest, we weren’t expecting the best results from the Mini Me when it came to flavour, but we’re big enough to admit that our preconceptions were unfounded. The Mini Me produced espresso that’s smooth and rich, with just the right hint of bitterness.Admittedly the Mini Me can’t compete with the Inissia when it comes to flavour, but that’s probably as much to do with the difference in capsules as the difference in machines. Ultimately, your choice of espresso flavours is far more limited with Dolce Gusto compared with Nespresso. Milk drinks The amount of beverage depends on the size of the cup, the position of the drip tray, and sometimes the milk and coffee powders which are natural products that might show a small seasonality effect. Water or liquid is leaking outside the machine during beverage preparation. It is important to assess where this leakage is coming from (water tank, capsule holder or underneath the machine).

Milk requires less pressure, so the pods for milk-based concoctions are designed accordingly to ensure the appropriate performance from the machine. Do not touch the capsule after the preparation of the drink! Hot surfaces can cause burns! How do I use my machine for the first time? Frequently asked questions 1. What types of coffee does the Dolce Gusto Mini Me Coffee Machine make?

Over time, limescale slows the flow of water through your machine and can reduce the effectiveness of the heating element making your beverage less warm. If your appliance has not been used for several months, the pump may have difficulty restarting the water flow. 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?We do not recommend the appliance to be used by children. This information is clearly stated in the User manual. What is the maximum of beverages a machine can make per day? The drink we ended up with wasn’t anywhere near as bad as we feared it might be, but it wasn’t great either. While being just about palatable, it was overly creamy, and left a distinct aftertaste in the mouth.What we found interesting was that while regular coffee drinkers really disliked the powdered milk drinks served up by the Mini Me, those that rarely drank coffee, or generally preferred tea, quite liked the cappuccinos and lattes that it produced. 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. For medium hardness water, descaling every 3/4 months gets rid of limescale build up, keeping waterflow fast and beverage temperature within expectations.
