Dolce Gusto compatible in 90 seconds

The Nescafé Dolce Gusto system was launched in 2006 by Nestlé with a clearly mass-market, multi-beverage positioning : unlike Nespresso Original (espresso only), Dolce Gusto offers a wide range of hot drinks —espresso, lungo, cappuccino, hot chocolate, tea, latte macchiato—thanks to capsules with varying extraction volumes and separate milk capsules . The machines are co-manufactured by Krups (the system's historical brand) and De'Longhi , with popular designs including Piccolo, Genio, Movenza, Infinissima, Colors, and Mini Me.

The Dolce Gusto capsule format is proprietary (approximately53 mm in diameter, plastic + aluminum film) and not interchangeable with other systems (Nespresso 26 mm, A Modo Mio 27 mm, Blue 30 mm). Dolce Gusto capsules are larger and contain a higher dose of coffee (approximately 7-8 g compared to approximately 5-6 g for Nespresso), which explains the higher extraction volumes.

The Dolce Gusto third-party compatible ecosystem is smaller than that of Nespresso Original (fewer players, patents only partially active for certain volumes). At Cafemalin, we offer the Kimbo Dolce Gusto compatible range : 3 signature Neapolitan blends in a box of 16 capsules for €5.75 (or €0.36 per cup ). Three profiles: Barista 100% Arabica (balanced long coffee), Intenso (short espresso), and Napoli (very full-bodied, dark roast).

Dolce Gusto capsules are partially recyclable : the plastic body goes in the yellow recycling bin or plastic packaging stream, and the coffee grounds go in home compost or an organic waste bin. The official Nescafé Dolce Gusto launched a collection and sorting program in 2021 (pointpartner drop-off

Frequently Asked Questions

The questions our customers ask most often.

Which machines accept these Dolce Gusto compatible capsules?

All Nescafé Dolce Gusto machines are compatible:

  • Krups Piccolo, Piccolo XS, Genio S, Genio S Plus, Movenza, Infinissima, Oblo
  • De'Longhi Colors, Mini Me, Piccolo XS EDG, Infinissima EDG
  • Other machines equipped with the original Nescafé Dolce Gusto system

They are NOT compatible with Nespresso Original or Vertuo (different 26 mm systems).

Why are there so few brands compatible with Dolce Gusto?

TheDolce Gusto third-party compatible ecosystem is more limited than Nespresso Original for two reasons:

  • Patents : Some Nestlé patents are still active on technical aspects of the Dolce Gusto system (particularly variable extraction volumes) — third-party manufacturers must respect certain limits
  • Market volume : Dolce Gusto represents a smaller market than Nespresso Original globally, therefore fewer third-party players invest in it.

Kimbo is one of the few historic Italian roasters to offer a Dolce Gusto compatible range.

Difference between Barista, Intenso and Napoli at Kimbo?

The three Kimbo blends compatible with Dolce Gusto cover the Neapolitan spectrum:

  • Barista 100% Arabica — intensity ~6/10, exclusive Arabica blend (exception in the Kimbo range), notes of dried fruit and roasted cereals. Ideal for a morning coffee.
  • Intenso — intensity ~8/10, signature Neapolitan espresso, dense body and persistent crema, notes of dark cocoa.
  • Napoli — intensity ~10/10, darker roast, pronounced notes of burnt wood. For lovers of very full-bodied Neapolitan-style coffee.
How to recycle empty Dolce Gusto capsules?

Dolce Gusto capsules are partially recyclable :

  • Plastic items : yellow bin or plastic packaging stream depending on the municipality
  • Coffee grounds : home compost or organic waste
  • Nescafé recycling program : In 2021, the brand launched a collection and sorting program through pointpartner collection pointcollection
