As the Black Friday sales ignite across the UK, one standout deal is capturing the attention of coffee lovers: the Nescafé Dolce Gusto Genio S Automatic by De’Longhi is now available with a 15% discount on Amazon, reducing its price to just £54.90.
A Life-Changing Coffee Experience
For lifestyle writer Natalie Dixon, this particular machine has been nothing short of a revelation. Having tested numerous coffee makers over the years, she found her perfect match with the Genio S. ‘Not to sound dramatic but this coffee machine has completely changed my life,’ she confesses. The device has transformed her routine, making home-brewed coffee a preferable alternative to visiting coffee shops, even for her favourite Starbucks order.
The machine’s secret lies in its professional-grade 15-bar pump pressure, which expertly extracts rich, smooth flavours, replicating an authentic café finish. Dixon notes that her go-to caramel latte macchiato, made using Starbucks pods, consistently tastes superior to the one from her local branch, which she often found to be burnt.
Compact Design and Unmatched Variety
Beyond the quality of the brew, the Genio S wins points for its versatility and space-saving design. The system boasts access to a vast library of over 40 different drinks. This includes popular choices from brands like Starbucks and Costa, as well as festive options such as Celebrations hot chocolate pods, which are a hit with children.
Its compact dimensions are a major advantage for British kitchens where worktop space is often limited. Measuring just 11.2cm wide, 27.3cm high, and 28.8cm deep, it occupies a minimal footprint. The integrated 0.8-litre water tank is perfectly sized for daily use without being cumbersome.
Effortless Operation and Sustainable Credentials
Ease of use is a central feature of the Genio S. Operation is managed through simple touch controls, and the machine is designed for minimal mess. Cleaning is quick, and the adjustable drip tray seamlessly accommodates everything from a small espresso cup to tall latte glasses.
Addressing a common concern with pod-based systems, the machine is part of the Podback recycling program. This free service allows users to recycle their used coffee capsules easily, mitigating the environmental guilt associated with capsule waste and offering a more sustainable coffee solution.
For Natalie Dixon, the Nescafé Dolce Gusto Genio S has evolved from a simple kitchen gadget to an indispensable part of her morning ritual, enabling her to start each day with a perfect coffee without ever leaving home.
