Are perk points different from reward points?

No, we just changed the name of the points program and we are working to bring you more rewards and benefits. The program rules have not changed. You will still continue to enjoy the same great “perks”.

How do I use my 100 perk points to claim my FREE box of capsules?

NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto® machine. Upon registering your machine, 100 perk points will be credited to your account. You can use the points to purchase a box of capsules. When you checkout, enter your perk points to redeem your FREE box of capsules and shipping is on us.

Where do I get the product codes from on the box of capsules to earn perk points?

You can find codes inside any box of NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® capsules. The more you drink, the more you earn. We will credit your account 10 perk points for each capsule box code submitted. Please see program rules (hyperlink to program rules in footer)

What do I do if a code is illegible or I get an invalid code or already used error?

Please contact us at 800-745-3391,Monday – Friday, 8am to 8pm EST, and be prepared to provide your code (if legible) and the flavor of which the code originated from.

Can I redeem rewards and have them sent to someone else or another address?

The shipping address saved in your profile is used when we ship your order. However, you can elect to revise your shipping address when you confirm your order. Sorry, we cannot ship to PO boxes or APO/FPO addresses.

Can I now use my perk points to purchase my order?

Yes! We are happy to inform you that you are now able to use your perk points to purchase your order. The point value beside each item shows how many points are needed to buy that product. You can use both your credit card and perk points to purchase an order. However, it is NOT possible to use your perk points as part-payment for an individual item; they must cover the whole cost of the item. For example, a travel mug requires 120 perk points – therefore you will need to have at least 120 perk points in your account to buy this individual product.

To pay with perk points enter the number of points you want to use and press enter. The subtotals at the bottom of the page will list the amount of cash and the amount of points used. You cannot pay for shipping costs with perk points.

II. About the machine

What is NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto®? NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® is a single serve coffee machine with a

proprietary smart capsule system that delivers up to 15 bars of professional pressure and produces high

quality coffee house quality drinks including Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato, Americano and

more.

What is the retail price? The recommended retail prices for NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® machines are:

MANUAL MACHINES

NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® Piccolo™ – $99.99

NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® Melody™ 2 – $129.99

NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® Circolo™ – $149.99

The retail price is $9.49 for a single carton of coffee containing 8– 16 beverages. For those varieties

utilizing a milk capsule, the box will contain half milk and half coffee capsules equating to 8 beverages.

How does the machine work? The NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® machine heats water, which is passed at

high pressure through a capsule of high quality NESCAFÉ® roast and ground coffee into the cup. This 15

bar system uses pressure similar to coffee house machines. The coffee that is used in the capsules is

made of premium 100% Arabica coffee.

The high pressure and smart capsule are designed to deliver an even distribution of water and pressure

over the coffee so your cup is brewed to perfection in under a minute.

Can you use other coffee capsules or only NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® capsules? Only the 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.

What sets NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® apart from its competitors?

The NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto® system makes a broad range of coffee house quality specialty beverages

ranging from espresso to cappuccino, latte's and even a traditional black cup. NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto®

can also brew both hot and cold beverages, offering consumers a broad choice of great quality coffee

house quality beverages.

NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto® is the only machine to feature a patented smart capsule that enables variable

pressure, up to 15 bars, to ensure every beverage is brewed to perfection.

Where is the product produced? The NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® coffee capsules are produced in the UK

and Spain.

Why did Nestlé® choose De'Longhi as a partner in the NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® project? NESCAFÉ®

Dolce Gusto® combines the expertise and history of NESCAFÉ® coffee making with the hallmarks of

De'Longhi precision, engineering and technical perfection. As a global leader in espresso and cappuccino

machines, De'Longhi is the ideal partner for the NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto®.

How do I start using my machine? We believe in no mess, no fuss coffee so your beverages are made in

a few simple steps: First, decide on your beverage, then it's as easy as POP, LOCK and SCROLL

1. Turn machine on, wait until light glows green

2. POP in your favorite capsule into the capsule holder

3. LOCK the handle down

4. For manual machines, move the custom control lever to the red setting for hot beverages and

the blue setting for cold beverages

5. For automatic machines, simply SCROLL to the suggested dosage on your capsule or customize

your delicious coffee house beverage exactly the way you want it.

When you're ready to stop the flow (each beverage comes with recommended dosing on its capsule carton):

1. For manual machines, move the custom control lever back to the center. For automatic

machines, your beverage will stop brewing automatically.

2. Lift up the handle

3. Dispose of your capsule

Note: The specialty beverages all require 2 (two) capsules. These beverages include: Cappuccino, Cappuccino Ice, Skinny Cappuccino, Chai Tea Latte, Chococino, Latte Macchiato, Caramel Latte Macchiato, Vanilla Latte Macchiato, and Mocha.

Why do I have to use the control lever on the manual machines? Everybody has a special way they like

their beverages. More milk? Extra shot of espresso?

That's why NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® machines allow you to customize your beverage strength with a

custom control lever. We put the power in your hands!

What does 15 bars of pressure mean? 15 bars of pressure refers to the barometric pressure that builds

up inside every smart capsule. 15 bars is like being 500 ft underwater! This pressure is comparable to

professional coffee house machines and much greater than most single serve coffee machines on the

market. What does it mean to you? Fifteen bars of pressure means a frothy, coffee house experience on

demand, in your home kitchen. It maximizes the flavor and aroma from the coffee. It's how you create

the highest–quality coffee drinks for you and all your guests, in less than a minute.

What are the dimensions of the NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® Genio™?9.05 (L) x 5.90 (W) x 11.41 (H). The

machine weighs 5.07 pounds.

Exotic Drinks

Chai Tea Latte

What about the milk component of Cappuccino or Latte Macchiato?

Consumers preferring these types of coffee beverages simply insert an additional milk capsule (which

contains sweetened, hormone–free whole milk, skim milk for our skinny varieties). Heated water

flowing through the capsule under pressure will produce the creamy froth expected in a Cappuccino or

Latte Macchiato.

How much coffee will consumers need for one cup, where will they be able to buy the coffee capsules

and how much will they cost? For our traditional black cups, one capsule makes one cup of coffee. For

our specialty beverages (ex: Cappuccino), you will need 2 (two) capsules – coffee and milk. You can buy

cartons of 16 capsules in retail outlets or online at www.dolce–gusto.us at the suggested retail price of

$9.49.

Will you produce any other capsule flavors in the future? The NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® system is

versatile enough to make other drinks, which may be introduced in the future. NestlÉ® has an ongoing

program of research and development of its product portfolio in response to consumer tastes, so we

plan to have new flavors every year!

Is the coffee in NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® capsules a new variant of soluble coffee? We use roast and

ground, 100% Arabica coffee in our hot beverages and soluble coffee in our cold beverages such as our

Iced Cappuccino.

Why do you use plastic material for the capsules? In this particular case, plastic was the most

appropriate material to use for producing the capsules. The NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® capsule most

effectively protects the coffee while in transit from production to consumption. It ensures that the

product reaches the consumer while still at top taste quality which is maintained for a period of one

year. It also has tamper–safe features. It provides the optimum convenience demanded by today's

consumers while ensuring that they will enjoy the best quality cups of coffee from their NESCAFÉ Dolce

Gusto® machines.

Could I use the milk capsule to prepare a glass of milk for me or my child? The milk capsules contain

nutritional info). They have been developed to be perfect for the preparation of coffee and hot

replacement of regular milk.The expiration date for the product is written on the box. The freshness of

the product is assured for up to 12 months from the production date. This is achieved by hermetically

sealing the product in the pod and by excluding oxygen. The only precaution is to keep the capsules in a

dry, clean place away from heat or direct sunlight.

How do the capsules work? It's our patented smart capsule technology that gives you coffee house

quality beverages every time. Here's how it works:

1. When a capsule is inserted, a needle punches 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 your flavor, the seal at the bottom of

the capsule is broken and the coffee begins to flow into your cup.

Click here https://www.dolce-gusto.us/en/smart-capsule.html to learn more about the smart capsule technology.

Can I combine products in other than the suggested way (e.g. use the Cappuccino milk capsule with

the Caffè Lungo coffee or prepare a large coffee mug using the espresso capsule) which is

recommended for a small cup? Nestle® product specialists have developed each recipe to deliver the

perfect product when used as recommended. Of course, individual taste and expectation vary.

What water should I use to fill the water tank and prepare my beverages? Tap water is OK as long as it

is free of odors that might alter the taste of the beverage. Bottled or filtered water is recommended.

Always use fresh water and replace the water if system has not been used for extensive periods of time.

Refer to System Manual for info on water hardness and impact on frequency of descaling. Do not use

refrigerated water as this might impact the temperature of the beverage.

For preparing Cappuccino or Latte Macchiato you recommend using the milk capsule first. Why? By

using the milk capsule first and then the coffee capsule, the foam of the final beverage remains a frothy

white. This is the authentic way of preparing these beverages. If the opposite is done, the foam becomes

brown. However, there is no problem with the taste or enjoyment of the cup.

Why do the milk capsules contain sugar?Some of the milk in the capsule is slightly sweetened (see

nutritional values on the box) in order to deliver perfectly balanced taste and to add convenience for the

consumer. Additional sugar may be added to achieve desired sweetness.

Why is the top of my coffee covered with a foam layer? The foam layer covering the espresso and

lungo beverages is called "créma" and is the result of thorough extraction of the coffee contained in the

capsule by hot water delivered at elevated pressure. Créma is a widely recognized sign of high quality

coffee. Consumers can easily test the cream strength by smoothly depositing granular sugar on the

créma layer. If créma is good, sugar will take several seconds before sinking under the créma layer.

Should I stir before consuming my Cappuccino or Latte Macchiato beverage? The successive addition

of milk first and coffee second results in the authentic layered beverage (white milk in the bottom of the

cup, brown coffee in the middle, white milk foam on the top). Some people prefer to consume without

stirring (which will lead to changing experience during drinking). Some others prefe r to stir in order to

have a homogenous taste from start to end. It is up to each consumer to experiment and find the most

enjoyable way.

How long can I keep the products? The expiration date for the product is written on the box. The

freshness of the product is assured for up to 12 months from the production date. This is achieved by

hermetically sealing the product in the capsule and by excluding oxygen. The only precaution is to keep

the capsules in a dry, clean place away from heat or direct sunlight.

What cups should I use? Any cup would work great! The machine has an adjustable cup support to fit

almost any cup or glass. Additionally, NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® provides a range of cups in order to

facilitate beverage preparation.

Could I reuse a capsule? Always remove and discard the capsule once beverage preparation is

completed and the light stopped blinking. Never use the same capsule twice.

Could I leave the used capsule in the machine or should I immediately discard it? Once beverage

preparation is complete and the light stops blinking, remove and discard the capsule.

How long does it take to prepare a beverage? Depending on the beverage: Espresso (50 ml) in less than

half a minute, Caffè Lungo (110 ml) and Caffè Americano in less than one minute, Cappuccino, Latte

Macchiato and Mocha which require the use of two successive capsules will take about a minute to

prepare.

May I use the cold water function to make my coffee and/or milk beverage. We currently offer an Iced

Cappuccino variety if a cold or "iced" beverage is preferred.

Can I put 2 milk capsules and only 1 coffee capsule to make it milkier? Or 2 coffee capsules and 1 milk

The beverage is coming out at an angle and not straight into the cup. The quality of the final beverage

is not impacted and can be consumed. Before preparing the next cup, clean and dry the capsule holder,

particularly the beverage outlet opening.

Once I finish beverage preparation and stop the machine there is still continuous dripping of product

into the cup. This is normal: as long as the capsule is not removed and discarded it will continue to drip

into the cup or the drip tray (once the cup is removed). The dripping lasts longer for coffee capsules than

for milk capsules. To stop dripping, remove and discard the used capsule after the light stops blinking.

Upon removal of the holder and the capsule from the machine, some water/product drops are coming

out from the top of the needle. It is likely that you removed the holder from the machine too soon.

Always wait for the light to stop blinking before removing the holder from the machine.

It is difficult to remove the capsule holder from the machine at the end of beverage delivery. Do not

try to remove the capsule holder too soon. Always wait for the light to stop blinking. If still difficult to

remove, do not force. Switch off the machine and wait for 5 minutes before trying to remove.

Some drops of product are dripping out of the capsule holder as I remove the holder from the

machine. Normally there should be no drops out of the capsule during removal from the machine and

discarding. In order to minimize the risk of dripping on counter surfaces, a dedicated bin is provided with

each machine purchase and should be kept near the machine. If dripping persists, check the condition of

the black rubber gasket around the metal needle. If damaged or missing request replacement of the

capsule holder.

Water/product is dripping out of the capsule after I discarded it in the bin? Once the beverage is

delivered to the desired strength/volume any remaining water (and some product traces) remains in the

capsule in order to not dilute the taste of the beverage. Some of this remaining liquid might drip out of

the capsule in the bin. The specially designed bin provided with the machine allows for easy separation

of liquid and solid waste.

Water or liquid is leaking outside the machine during beverage preparation? There may be an

insufficient seal between capsule and machine.

1. Check that there is a capsule in the holder.

2. Stop machine, wait for light to stop blinking and remove capsule.

3. Check to ensure that capsule is not pierced twice.

4. Try again with new capsule.

5. If leakage persists, contact NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® consumer services for repair.

Machine is on with lever selected (left or right) but there is no flow of beverage out of the holder.

1. Check if there is water in the water tank.

2. If no, move lever back to center position, fill tank with warm water and start again.

3. If yes, stop machine and switch off. Wait for 3–4 min and then slowly move holder up and

remove. If removal of holder is not easy do not force it but wait an additional 3–4 min.

4. Remove capsule, rinse holder, and try again with a new capsule.

5. If situation persists, contact NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® consumer services for repair.

I am experiencing no water flow: for new machines, you must prime your machine before the first use.

Please follow these steps:

1. Remove and fill water tank with purified water.

2. Fit water tank snugly back onto your machine, ensuring it's locked into place

3. Make sure the scroll is dialed up to 7

4. Press the "COLD" water button

5. Press the "HOT" water button

6. Repeat steps "4" and "5" until you have drained the entire water tank of water. Note, you may

need to repeat this process 2–3 times.

For machines that have not been used in a while, we recommend following these steps.

I have primed my machine and I am still experiencing no water flow.

1. 1. Check if there is water in the water tank.

2. If no, turn off the machine and then fill the tank with warm water and turn on the machine.

3. No flow may be caused by the water tank not being pushed down securely or by air being

present in the lines.

4. Pull up on the tank to remove, and then replace it tightly. Do this several times. This may be

done while the pump is running.

5. DO NOT let the machine run for more than a minute if there is no flow, as this can burn out the

pump. If trying to get the machine to run, turn the water lever to the side to turn it off, let the

light go back to green, then try again.

6. Another tip is to put a little warm water in the hole where the tank meets the machine. This can

help close the gap between the two.

Why do I sometimes get different foam levels? The level of foam depends on the size of the cup, the

position of the drip tray, and sometimes the milk and coffee powders which are natural products that

might show a small seasonality effect. If the foam amount is significantly lower than normal, please use

another box of capsules.

My beverage does not taste the same, cup after cup. What do I do wrong? Please follow the user

manual instructions or the dosage recommendation on your capsule (for automatic machines). There

may be a taste variation if different amounts of water are used from cup to cup.

My beverage is too cold? Check that you are using regular tap water and not refrigerated water. If

necessary, descale the machine following the System Manual instructions.

My beverage is too hot? Check that you are using fresh tap water. Check if needle is free of obstructions

and remove obstacle if necessary using a thin needle.

During beverage preparation the flow is too fast or too slow? Some products (e.g. coffee capsules) are

designed to flow slower than others (e.g. milk capsules) in order to achieve the desired cup quality. If

flow is slower than normal, descale the machine (following the System Manual instructions) and clean

needle by removing any obstacles lodged in it.

The taste of my coffee (Espresso, Caffè Lungo) or my mix (Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato) is too strong

or too weak? The products are expertly designed to deliver perfect taste with the dosage as shown. You

may want to vary the amount of water until desired taste is reached.
