‘Easy to use’ Nescafé coffee machine now £29 down from £80

Amazon has slashed the price of a compact Nescafé coffee machine in a limited time deal, so if you fancy ditching instant coffee and upgrading your beverage, now is your chance. The DeLonghi Nescafé Dolce Gusto Piccolo XS Pod Capsule Coffee Machine can be used to create dozens of your favourite drinks, including espresso, cappuccino, lattes and more.

Usually retailing for £79.99, the stylish black and red coffee machine can now be yours for £29, giving you a lovely £50 saving. You can use a variety of coffee pods, including Dolce Gusto and Starbucks, enabling you to create your favourite barista-style drinks in the comfort of your home.  

The gadget holds 0.8 litres of water and can make hot and cold drinks in one easy move of the machine’s leaver. It’s easy to clean, with the coffee grinds staying in the pod you use, creating no mess.

The appliance also comes with an adjustable drip tray suitable for all cup sizes to keep your kitchen counter looking spotless. The device will automatically switch off after one minute, giving you peace of mind and helping to minimise energy consumption.

Over 8,700 Amazon customers have reviewed the DeLonghi Nescafé Dolce Gusto Piccolo XS Pod Capsule Coffee Machine to date, with it earning an overall rating of 4.4 out of five. One satisfied buyer awarded it full marks and said: “It makes good coffee of different varieties to a good standard. For the price we are very pleased. The water capacity is quite small but is sufficient for the two of us. It is easy to fill and ready to use very quickly.”

A second wrote: “Lovely little coffee machine. Fits well in a small kitchen. Easy to use too.” Someone else simply added: “Makes the perfect cup of coffee.”

“Compact machine and easy to use,” writes another reviewer. “I got this for my mother-in-law who is 80 and she loves it. So easy to use even for her.” However, they did go on to point out an important difference to other coffee machines: “She used to have an older version which would stop filling up the cup by itself, but with this one she needs to stay by the machine to stop it manually.”

Unfortunately, some Amazon customers have had issues with the coffee machine, with one explaining: “This is a great machine for the price; the only downside is that it’s quite noisy when in use.” Another said: “Bought less than four months ago and completely stopped working.”
