NESCAFE Dolce Gusto Esperta 2 Overview

A luxury brewer that does more than push water into a pod and squirt out coffee water, the NESCAFE Dolce Gusto Esperta 2 is as impressive as its name is long.

It brews 30 different types of both hot and cold coffee beverages, ranging from basic coffee and espresso to cappuccinos, lattes, and iced beverages.

However, you’ll have to buy NESCAFE brand pods, which are about the same price as Keurig K-Cups.

Pros

Handy 60 oz water reservoir
15 bars of pressure
8 brew sizes up to 12 oz
Energy saving mode with 5 minute Auto-Off

Cons

Not a ton of settings and features
Rear removable water reservoir is a bit of a pain
Compatible with NESCAFE pods only

About The Coffee Maven

Bryan De Luca

I'm Bryan but most people know me as The Coffee Maven. I grew up outside Boston, Massachusetts and received my Bachelor's degree in Biochemistry from Providence College. My first introduction to coffee was during my college days, when I used it as a source of caffeine to fuel late-night study sessions, but soon I became obsessed with the chemistry of coffee. How did changes to water temperature or contact time affect its taste? Why do beans from Africa taste fruity while beans from Indonesia taste spicy? I launched The Coffee Maven in February 2017 to explore these questions and help others brew their perfect cup. Welcome to my site, and thanks for reading!
