• Check that there is a capsule in the holder.
• Stop machine, wait for light to stop blinking and remove capsule.
• Check to ensure that capsule is not pierced twice.
• Try again with new capsule.
• If leakage persists, contact our NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® team on 0800 365 234 for assistance.
  

• Check if there is water in the water tank.
• If no, fill tank with water and start again.
• If yes, The needle in the head of the machine may be blocked. The unblocking tool, which came with your machine, should be inserted into the needle to dislodge any blockage (the unblocking tool is metal and looks like a partially uncoiled spring). Before using the unblocking tool, please unplug your machine and let it cool; remove the capsule holder from the machine and lower the central lever. 
• Often an air bubble can be stuck inside the machine, inhibiting water flow, lifting the water tank up and down a number of times can be useful in moving this air bubble. We suggest lifting it up and down 6 times, then trying to achieve flow. This can be repeated numerous times.

• We would then suggest descaling your machine. We recommend using Delonghi descaling solution to descale your NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Machine. If you have any questions about the descaling or unblocking process please do not hesitate to call us 0800 365 234.

The NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® machine pumps water at up to 15-bar pressure into the NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® capsule. 

The high pressure and the capsules are designed to deliver an even distribution of water and pressure over the coffee to get the full flavour. This system uses pressure similar to that of professional cafe quality machines.

If you need replacement parts for your machine please call our NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® team on 0800 365 234 and we will be happy to help.

If you’ve tried descaling and unclogging the injector as explained in the machine leaflet, and are still having problems, please call our NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® team on 0800 365 234.

There are minerals such as calcium and magnesium that are naturally present in most water supplies. The accumulation of these minerals may cause the build up of limescale. 

Over time, limescale slows waterflow, reduces the capacity and could reduce the effectiveness of heating the water used to make your drinks. 

Descaling every 6 months or 300 uses gets rid of the build up of limescale, keeping water flow fast and pump pressure high.

We recommend using the NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® Descaling Kit to descale your NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® machine every 6 months. This can be purchased directly from our online shop.

Only NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® coffee capsules are suitable for use with this machine. They are the only capsules that were developed to fit and that correspond to the high quality requirements for this system.

You can buy a wide range of capsules directly from our online shop or a more limited range from leading grocery stores and some electrical retailers and department stores. To find out which store sells the capsule you are after, simply click here. 

All our drinks require one or two capsules. The amount of water you add to each is of course up to you, but our suggestion for how to prepare each hot drink is printed on the box and on the top of each capsule.

If you want a demonstration on how to make any of our flavours simply click here and select the flavour you wish to make followed by “product demo”

The top of the capsule will tell you which drink it is, but you will need to look at the colour of the base to see which kind of capsule it is, whether milk, coffee, chocolate or a cold variety. The milk capsules have a white base and the coffees are black or dark brown. The chocolate capsules have a light brown base, while cold drinks have a silver base.

1. When a capsule is inserted, a needle pierces through the capsule seal. Water enters the capsule and pressure begins to build, pushing the water evenly through the coffee.
2. As the pressure builds to its optimum level to maximize the flavour, the seal at the bottom of the capsule is broken and the coffee begins to flow into your cup.

No, our capsules are designed to give you the perfect cup everytime and are not suitable for making two cups.
