It depends on how many different types of coffee you would like to drink! The keurig has A LOt more options than the dolce. However the dolce brews at a very high pressure which allows it to make lattes and cappuccinos.

I think you must buy a Dolce Gusto pods. If there is another brand than Dolce, you tell me.

I see that others have already answered, but I did want to put in my opinion, for what it's worth! I love this machine. I have a Keurig at work and we have one that sits in the garage, unused. I like full bodied coffee and I feel the Keurig, for me, doesn't fit the bill. It's fine for that second cup when I get to work, but the Verismo makes espresso and regular coffee, depending on the pods. It makes coffee that tastes as good, or better, than my very expensive Saeco espresso machine. I know Keurig is all the thing now, but I feel the coffee can be weak and tasteless. Just my opinion! I've had my Verismo for a year now and I still sing its praises!

The Nespresso machine is expensive (at least $200 if you want the bare bones model and milk frother) and the Nespresso pods are 3 times as expensive ($1 each for Nespresso and $0.33 for the Borbone). The coffee and crema are comparable. I use a simple, small DeLonghi espresso machine ($100) and it works fine. It is slightly more work, but no bad at all.

Ok, I am happy to help. First, the Nespresso coffee is the best and so is this little Pixie machine: easy to use, easy to clean (of course you have to use the Nespresso cleanser). If you take care of it, it will last for years.I am French, and I know what I am taking about, believe me. Happy coffee time. Katherine

K-cups won't fit into the Dolce Gusto. If you're buying the DG anyway, you could use it to dispense hot water for loose tea or tea bags.

It all depends on the k-cup (type of coffee) you purchase. I use Bustelo Expresso K-cups and the coffee is delicious

I just went on to the Costco website, and they sell 70 pods for $29.99 that are compatible with the Dolce Gusto machine. They are called, Spresso Luxe.

Agreed. I wish I would have bought one much sooner. It works, makes a damn good cup of coffee (especially compared to the Keurig My K-Cup) and you can get a pound of good coffee for $8-10 (obviously less if you're not picky...im picky)

Haven't tried regular coffee with this machine yet but I would get the Dallmayr Prodomo capsules for it! Been drinking the cappuccino and I really love it.

K-cups have a 2 inch diameter at top, but it's longer than the Dolce Gusto. So, I am guessing your Dolce Gusto coffee pods should fit. The only thing I'm unsure about is the pointy bottom of your Dolce Gusto coffee pods - whether that would be a problem because this dispenser uses a spring-loaded panel to push the pods to the front. If you can make your way to Bed Bath and Beyond, you can ask the clerks to show you one in action.

You really can't, that is, the machine uses special aluminum pods that you buy from Nespresso. There are instructions online on how to re-use those specific pods. But, I use my Keurig machine for coffee. The nespresso is truly a wonderful espresso machine, that's function is incredible espresso, and cappuccino.

No, they are not. Nescafé has two types of capsules meant for different coffee makers : Nespresso coffee capsules are only sold at Nespresso shops and are much smaller than the Dolce Gusto ones. Dolce Gusto capsules are sold in the mass channels, that is, hypermarkets. supermarkets, etc. Each brand has its own range of coffee makers.

Absolutely! Dolce Gusto capsules are the ones designed for your Delongi machine. Enjoy !

There are big differences in the machines. The Keurig is essentially a *coffee* machine. It makes a standard cup of coffee. Yes, it can do flavors, and there are dozens and dozens of different varieties, but it is pretty much limited to straight coffee. (There's a hot cocoa K-cup, but it's made by Green Mountain. You know how famous Green Mountain is for their hot cocoa? They're not. There's a reason.) With that much variety, you're just about assured of finding a coffee to your taste. The brewing cycle is optimized for straight coffee (though there is some flexibility there). Temperature is sometimes an issue; some people find the coffee not quite hot enough. The Tassimo, on the other hand, has far fewer varieties of coffee, but a much greater range of beverage TYPES. It makes latte, cappuccino (regular or skinny), espresso, chai tea lattes, hot chocolate, black and green teas. It makes a nice three-level latte macchiato. The temperature of the finished product is higher, and it has Starbucks pods that taste very much like the real thing. But in general, it probably does not do straight coffee quite as well as a Keurig, and there are certainly many fewer bean types, roast types, and flavors for the Tassimo. We finally decided on a Tassimo, and we love it. And that's something you'll generally find to be true no matter what you buy. It's been our experience that unless you're a coffee connoisseur (in which case, neither machine beats the more labor-intensive brewing methods), you will probably be happy with either machine.

I am a die hard keurig fan. I frankly think the verisimo is pods are way over priced, hard to find and I don't even think Starbucks is very good coffee, so you're probably asking the wrong person.
