Krups Dolce Gusto Coffee Maker Belongs in Muesuem
I’m not a coffee drinker, but I can appreciate good design while I see it. This is the redesigned Krups Dolce Gusto.
Right now it is currently only available in Europe, but in time I’m sure it will soon grace our shores in the US and replace the old design (shown below).

Now that I look at the new design more closely, I feel like it has a long lost brother. I feel like it must be related to the JBL iPod Radial Speaker Dock…what do you think?
Dolce Gusto's long lost brother...
Anyway, functionally it’s a single serving size coffee maker (ie it only makes coffee for one) which allows you to only brew what you drink and not have to waste tossing out a whole pot of coffee when you only want a cup.
There’s no doubt that it’s a nice looking coffee maker that you would want to show off to your friends, but I’m not a big fan of single serving size coffee makers. I think it’s kind of waste of packaging since you have to individual packs of coffee are all wrapped separately which means more garbage and waste. The other fact is that you don’t really have much coffee selection since the machine uses Nescafe’s single serving coffee design which means you only have Nescafe coffee selection choices.
Hope you like Nescafe...
Like I said, I’m not a coffee drinker myself, but all of the above would bother me…even though this is a sexy looking coffee maker. At $220 it’s a little steep for me and personally I find the function and utility of the Aeropress coffee maker much more appealing. With the Aeropress you don’t need to plug it in, you can choose whatever coffee grounds you’d like, and you can make coffee in under 30 seconds. Oh, and it’s also less less than $30.
But to each their own, right?
