Having had a Nespresso machine for many years I decided to replace it after it broke down again. As my coffee of choice comes in a capsule, I wanted a machine that could handle these as well as ground coffee. The Dualit was the perfect choice; it looks good, it is compact and well built. It took a little getting used to as my last machine was 'plug and play'. Initially I had to pierce the capsules with a skewer as the new machine doesn't come with a piercing tool. However this was quickly rectified by phoning Dualit customer services and one was sent out for free. I am also used to a machine that dispenses a precise amount of water and then stops but this one doesn't, so if you are multi tasking, you have to be careful not to let your mug over fill. I have only tried it with Nespresso capsules so far and I haven't given it a good clean with descaler but the instructions are clear so it should be quite straightforward. The milk nozzle is easy to clean. In my view, this is a well-priced coffee maker that does exactly what I need it to do. Read full review

Looks great in the kitchen, makes a lovely cup of coffee (we've only used it with ground coffee but it also takes pods and capsules). Ours drips a little once the coffee is done, so it's important to empty the tray regularly, but it's easy to do.

Good little machine for “basic” coffee needs. Next stage up from nespresso. Makes good espresso and froths milk really well. Well priced, good looking machine that does a good job. A lot better than some at half the price.

Well constructed with clear manual. I like the ability to use coffee pods and/or ground coffee.
