I have owned a Nescafe Dolce Gusto Mini Me machine now for about two years now.
Would I recommend it?
That really depends on how you like to drink your coffee.
If you like a big mug of then it's not the setup for you. About 200ml is the biggest cup it will make from one pod, which are quite expensive.
However, if you're preference is a smaller expresso style coffee then it's perfectly fine for that.
One big advantage is that it very quick. From plugging it in to having a coffee in your hand takes about 2 minutes.
It will also make cold coffee as well for those that like it over ice.
You get a nice crema style head on your drink because it's made under pressure.
I tend to buy third party pods these days from Lazada because they do work out quite a bit cheaper than the Nescafe originals.
Another advantage is that the only thing you need to wash up is your cup!
Although the machine itself does require a small amount of maintenance from time to time.
