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

Product Information

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? It is important to assess where this leakage is coming from (water tank, capsule holder or underneath the machine). On the right, a bean icon with a plus sign represents Espresso Boost. This is recommended to be used only with shorter coffee drinks, as you will only be able to get a maximum of three bars worth of liquid (roughly 65ml) with this function activated. The “boost” works by pre-brewing the contents of the pod for about 10secs before carrying on with extraction – this helps to strengthen the coffee aroma. 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. The needle must be cleaned with the cleaning tool provided with the machine and machine must be descaled.

This can prevent clogging in the water outlet and hygiene issues. How often should I descale my machine? Whilst coffee percolators operate at one bar of pressure (normal atmospheric pressure) and a number of other machines operate at no more than two bars, the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto system can operate up to 15 bars. Does the machine have a shelf life?The machine also has an adjustable drip tray that could be placed higher when making smaller drinks to avoid splashing. Appearance-wise, the Genio S Touch is similar to the previous Genio S and Genio S Plus models in shape, but instead of a protruding round control panel, it features an integrated touch-sensitive display. It looks more streamlined. We recommend daily cleaning to make sure you will continue to enjoy the great coffee experience you deserve. For tips on daily cleaning and more, consult the user manual. Can I put some piece of my machine in the dishwasher? Take out and reposition the tank every 3 seconds. There should be air bubbles escaping from the tank valve. All the pods I used with this machine came with suggested water level settings, making my initial tests easier.

The frequency that you should descale the machine will depend on the water hardness and how frequently you use the machine. If you believe that one part is missing, please call Consumer Services Center and we will help you find a suitable solution. Where can I buy accessories, consumables or spare parts for my appliance? Tap water (normal household potable water) is perfectly OK as long as it is free of odors that might alter the taste of the beverage. Bottled water is also OK. 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.I had a better experience with pods containing plant-based milk powder and coffee. The coconut flat white had a creamy mouthfeel and texture with a pleasant lingering aftertaste. Meanwhile, the almond flat white had a smooth texture and a well-balanced flavour without the almond overpowering the coffee taste. Over 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. Using the espresso boost also seemed to produce better crema, as did longer extraction – water level two or three instead of the recommended one bar. The best crema formed on top of an americano: at about 0.5cm it was substantial enough for me to draw a line with the spoon without parting it. However, the presence of some small bubbles indicated it wasn’t entirely smooth.
