![]() Making beverages with the Infinissima was easy from start to finish, and the resulting coffee was really enjoyable. Overall, we really liked the Dolce Gusto Infinissima, and felt that its ease of use and cool, minimalist design, was well worth the £100 price tag - however, the Italian modernist look won’t appeal to everyone, and those with smaller kitchens may find its footprint to be too imposing. It also has a handy descaling alert feature, meaning you won’t forget to keep your machine in great condition - you’ll know to do this if your on/off button glows orange. One cool feature of the Infinissima is that it automatically switches off after five minutes of inactivity, giving it a great energy consumption rating. Still, it’s easy to slide the drip tray out and run it under your tap for a quick clean. With the largest pods designed to make 200ml of coffee, people who need a bigger pick-me-up in the morning may disappointed by the size of the drinks, but we found the capsules made the perfect amount of coffee for us - it’s just a matter of personal taste.Īlthough making the coffee was pretty seamless, we did find that the pump drips for quite a long time after it’s switched off - if you’re in a hurry this will be caught by the drip tray, but does mean that the Infinissima requires fairly regular cleaning. This particular drink does require the use of two pods - one for milk, and one for the coffee, and guessing the correct volumes for each could sometimes be tricky, but the resulting coffee was hot, frothy, and delicious. We tried out Dolce Gusto’s latte macchiato pods, and found the process really simple from start to finish, with the high pressure pump delivering the coffee really quickly. You can also adjust the height of the plinth for different coffees, which is great for making smaller drinks like espressos, as raising the plinth stops the coffee from splashing out of the cup. That being said, Dolce Gusto capsule boxes display an illustration to help you get the amounts right for each drink. As the Infinissima is not an automatic model, you have to switch off the pump yourself, which can be a little tricky to get right if you’re making a drink that require more than one pod, as you will need to estimate the correct amounts of milk and coffee for example. Next, just switch the lever on the top of the machine to release the coffee from the pump, with hot or cold options available depending on the drink you’re making. It works like any other manual capsule machine - just slide your chosen pod into the magnetic holder and you’re ready to go, and with over forty Nescafé Dolce Gusto drinks to pick from, you’re spoilt for choice. ![]() ![]() Once the button lights up green, and you have filled the water tank, the Infinissima is ready to use. When setting up the Infinissima, the manual instructs you to flush out the dispenser using both hot and cold water functions, after which the machine is ready to use - to turn it on you simply press the power button on the side of the device. With an adjustable cup holder, you can use the Infinissima to make anything from a tall latte macchiato to a tiny espresso without worrying about spillages or splashes on your kitchen counter. We tried out the black model with grey accents, which would suit most decor styles, although if you’re after a more modern look you may prefer the white model - alternatively, the red model will liven up your mornings with a bright pop of colour. ![]() Although the Infinissima is relatively slim, it does take up a fair amount of counter space, so those with smaller kitchens may prefer a more compact machine like the Dolce Gusto Piccolo Manual. That being said, once we set it up on a kitchen counter, it looked less strange, and quite aesthetically pleasing, with minimalist lines and a sleek design.
