(More customer reviews)After being a DAILY Starbucks customer for almost 20 years....yes..daily X 20 years..I don't want to think about it. Anyway...to reward my loyalty, they did away with my 10% gold card discount and raised their prices AGAIN in December and I hear another one is coming in february. I have had a price in my mind for quite awhile that was the limit that I would pay Starbucks to make me a cup of coffee that was worth about $1, and they hit it. So my husband said "pick a machine and I'll get it for your for Christmas". I look at them and I went with this one. I don't drink a complicated drink, I just want it good...and hot..fast would be nice. This machine is fast..real fast. I am impressed at how fast I am walking away from the kitchen with my cup. It is simple enough that my son makes a hot chocolate with ease. There is really nothing to clean..that's good too! I only use bottled water in it because our tap water has alot of minerals and I want to avoid that in this machine. We take water so it is just a matter of walking the tank to the cooler every couple of days. I have tried the latte, the capp, the americano, and the lungo. My husband and the kids like the hot chocolate and the peach tea. The downside to the capps and lattes is that it does take 2 pods.. one milk and one coffee..thus a box of those is really only 8 SMALL/tall servings or 4 grande size servings. At $9-$10 a box at BBB prices(Amazon Sub & Save is about 7.25 a box) it wasn't really beating Starbucks prices by much at almost $2+ a cup. When a cup of coffee is kitchen close.. 2 in the morning and 1 at night is too tempting. So I started thinking about skipping the milk pod...thus getting 16 actual cups from a box.. I have milk sitting in the fridge. I looked around and found the Capresso FrothPro (available on Amazon also). Another $60 and no more need for milk pods. So now I use the Americano pods and the froth pro and make one decent size, nice and hot cup of coffee in just a few minutes..right from my own kitchen. The weakest thing about the Dolce Gusto systems are the limited flavor/variety they put out for now. A few more teas would be GREAT....and a few more coffee choices would help them out ALOT. It was hard to choose this machine over one that has dozens of choices..for now though, I am quite happy with it. The coffee is nice and smooth, hot and very quick. The amount of counter space it takes up is not a bother. Less space than the coffee maker I replaced and a better coffee. With the Creativa and the FrothPro I have my coffee habit back down to less than $1 a cup. Down from $3.75 a day from Starbucks.
