⚡ At a Glance
- • Brewing Quality: Thick, velvety crema produced using maximum 15 bar pump pressure
- • Best for: Home users who want quick, café-style hot and cold drinks without fuss

Maximum 15 bar pump pressure delivers café-style extraction. Compact footprint and a 0.8L water tank suit small kitchens.
Barista-style crema – Thanks to maximum 15 bar pump pressure
A high-pressure 15 bar pump forces hot water through pods at café-style extraction levels, emulsifying coffee oils and creating a thick crema. Pressure control keeps flow steady across different pod recipes.
Reliable crema adds texture and mouthfeel to everyday drinks, so simple filter-style coffee feels more indulgent. Espresso-based recipes taste closer to a café result without extra skill.
Wide drink choice – With compatibility for over 40 beverage varieties
Compatibility with over 40 different pod recipes covers hot and cold options from NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto and Starbucks ranges. Each pod contains pre-measured grounds or ingredients for consistent results.
A large pod catalogue means easy variety, from quick black coffees to milk-based or cold recipes, suitable for households with differing tastes. Switching between drinks is a single-button action.
Compact fit for small kitchens – With a 0.8L water tank and slim dimensions
Measured at 11.2cm W x 27.3cm H x 28.8cm D, the footprint keeps counter intrusion to a minimum while a 0.8L tank supplies several cups before refilling. The adjustable drip tray accepts multiple cup sizes.
Limited worktop space remains usable while still keeping a versatile coffee maker accessible. A modest tank reduces running time between refills, suiting lower daily use.
