Cafemalin's Dolce Gusto compatible capsules, in boxes of 16 (0,36 € per cup for Barista): Kimbo Intenso (12/13) and Kimbo Barista 100% Arabica (9/13).
The Nescafé® Dolce Gusto® system was launched by Nestlé in 2006. Its machines, made by Krups and De'Longhi (Piccolo XS, Genio S, Infinissima, Mini Me, Oblo…), prepare espresso and lungo and, with milk or chocolate capsules, milk-based drinks. Nescafé has since launched Neo, a second system that uses paper pods: the compatible capsules on this page are made for Dolce Gusto Original machines.
A Dolce Gusto capsule is larger than a Nespresso capsule and contains more coffee: 7 g for Kimbo capsules, compared with 5,5 g for its Nespresso-compatible capsules.
At Cafemalin, the Dolce Gusto compatible capsules are from Kimbo, a Neapolitan company founded in 1963, in boxes of 16 at 5,75 € (or 0,36 € per cup): Intenso, intense and full-bodied (12/13, dark roast, dark chocolate finish), and the milder Barista 100% Arabica (9/13, fresh flowers, almond, toast). The intensity ratings are Kimbo's, on a scale from 1 to 13.

The questions our customers ask most often.
Nescafé® Dolce Gusto® Original machines, made by Krups or De'Longhi: Piccolo XS, Genio S, Infinissima, Mini Me, Oblo, Movenza… Not Neo machines, which use paper pods, or Nespresso machines.
These are two Nescafé Dolce Gusto systems. Original machines (Piccolo XS, Genio S, Infinissima, Mini Me…) take capsules like those on this page; the newer Neo machines use paper pods in a different format. According to Nescafé, Neo pods do not fit Original machines, except with the Neo Start adaptor on a few models.
