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.

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.

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
either whole milk or nonfat milk powder and some are slightly sweetened with sugar (see box for
nutritional info). They have been developed to be perfect for the preparation of coffee and hot
chocolate based beverages (Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato and Chococino) and are not intended for

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
capsule? Nestlé® product specialists have developed each recipe to deliver the perfect product when

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.
