How to operate a Nescafe Dolce Gusto

First time I saw this product,was in a hypermart. Couldn't quite figure out exactly how it worked.

Today, I jumped at the chance to check it out when I found SenQ doing a demo

The SenQ salesperson gave me a choice of 5 flavours to choose from.....Chococino, Mocha, Latte Macchiato,Espresso or Cappucino .

I settled on the Espresso, and he promptly fished it out from this cluster of little tubs .

Somehow I kept looking at the price

.....as he checked the water level at the back of the machine,before slotting the Espresso portion into this little top front drawer

Before finally placing the cup in its place.

He sort of panicked a bit because when he pressed the side button, it just didn't function.

Luckily this girl came back in time to help out

She fiddled with the bottom of the removable plastic water container at the back before hitting the "on" button again.

That did the trick.

While the portion may be rather small, the coffee is strong enough to keep you up when you need it most. It's also compact,stylish and quiet enough to fit into your office cubicle and makes a rather nice gift . The only drawback is the initial ease in operation.

Bottomline is would I get this for myself ? High probability in that happening .
