kotlie Espresso 4in1 Coffee Machine for Nespresso Original/Dolce Gusto/Ground Capsule and ESE Coffee Pods,19 Bar Automatic Compatible Capsule Coffee Machine (Black) (513)

I recently purchased the KOTLIE Espresso 4in1 Coffee Machine, and while it's not as straightforward as a dedicated capsule machine, it offers a significant advantage that makes it worth considering.First, let's address the complexity. Unlike single-brand capsule machines, the KOTLIE 4in1 requires a bit more effort to set up and get used to. The process isn't as plug-and-play, so there is a learning curve involved. You'll need to spend some time reading the manual and familiarizing yourself with the different settings and options. However, once you get the hang of it, the machine is quite intuitive and easy to use.Now, onto the upside: versatility. The KOTLIE 4in1 allows you to use almost any manufacturer's capsule, which is a game-changer. You're not limited to one brand or type of coffee, which means you can experiment with different flavors and blends from various brands. This flexibility is fantastic for coffee enthusiasts who love variety. Additionally, the machine's ability to handle ground coffee and ESE pods adds another layer of versatility.The build quality is robust, and the design is sleek and modern, fitting nicely into my kitchen décor. The coffee it brews is rich and flavorful, comparable to what you'd get from more expensive machines. The steam wand is a nice touch for making lattes and cappuccinos, and it works well once you get the hang of it.In conclusion, if you're looking for a coffee machine that offers flexibility and the ability to use multiple types of coffee capsules, the KOTLIE Espresso 4in1 is an excellent choice. Be prepared for a bit of a learning curve, but once you master it, you'll appreciate the variety and quality it brings to your coffee routine.

This is the third machine I have brought and this has to be the best value for money of them all, does all sizes and makes of pods even fresh ground coffee very easy to use and change pod,disc etc very easily . Makes the hottest of coffee and best of all machines I have tried,considering the cost . One little item I have to say is the small place where you put your cup a bit small and tends to drip a little but still think it's a buy specially if you want value for money. have been very happy to review even left it a few months before a review.

We had another all-in-one machine that accepted multiple pods from a well-known high-street kitchen gear chain, but it failed 3 times within its warranty period and is now discontinued....Was on the lookout for something similar, I saw Aldi had an identical to my previous machine earlier in the year, but didn't fancy going back to that again, and then I saw this one.It works very well. I like Nespresso-type pods, and it works well for these. I saw another reviewer felt that Nespresso pods stick a bit in the holder when they are warm when trying to eject them, and I'd agree they're snug, but can just pull them out with my fingers and don't feel the need to use a teaspoon.My daughter likes the Dolce Gusto pods, and again these work very well.Quality so far seems good, well built, although the water tank feels a little bit flimsy. The unit is pretty compact and doesn't have a large footprint. However, you need additional storage for the different adaptors, as these are reasonably large and obviously, only one is in the machine at a time.Not sure why the buttons are labelled with ounces, surely just one-cup or two-cup icons would have been better? but that's just being picky.Heats up quickly from cold, and produces good coffee, and it's fairly quick.Overall very pleased with it so far, and quite happy to recommend it to others

The media could not be loaded. I regret to say that my experience with this coffee brewer has been quite disappointing. While it promises to provide a versatile coffee experience with compatibility for Dolce Gusto, Nespresso capsules, grounds, and ese pod coffee, it falls short in several aspects. ***There is leakage and leakage in the capsules of some brands. That's why it makes me regret buying it.***Firstly, the quality and taste of the coffee produced by this machine did not meet my expectations. Despite the claimed 19-bar pressure and optimal temperature of 85°C, the coffee lacked the rich crema and stable taste that I was hoping for. The overall coffee experience was underwhelming and failed to deliver the desired satisfaction. ***Coffees should be between 82-85 degrees, yes, but drinking a burnt coffee is uncomfortable. I make my own espresso through this machine. My coffee tastes like burnt compared to my old coffee machine.***The design and convenience of the espresso machine were also lacking. While it had a visually appealing appearance, the user-friendly compact structure did not translate into a seamless brewing process. The automated work function was supposed to simplify the brewing process, but it often led to inconsistent results. Additionally, the automatic power-off function, while energy-saving, proved to be more of an inconvenience as it would sometimes turn off prematurely.Another disappointment was the speed of brewing. While the machine claimed to provide quick single-serve coffee in 30 seconds, it often took longer to brew a cup of coffee. This delay was frustrating, especially during busy mornings when I needed a quick caffeine boost.The detachable base, although advertised as accommodating different-sized coffee mugs, did not offer the flexibility and stability I expected. ***The lid sometimes comes off on its own and the coffee spills onto the kitchen counter.***It often felt flimsy and struggled to accommodate larger mugs or cups. ***Also I can't fit standard coffee cups. I need to use smaller cups. I have dozens of different and wonderful coffee cups at home. I can no longer use any of them.***Overall, my experience with this coffee brewer has been unsatisfactory. The subpar coffee quality, inconsistent performance, and inconveniences in design and brewing process have left me disappointed. I would not recommend this product to those seeking a reliable and enjoyable coffee experience.

Great machine, only downside is you're limited to using smaller height mugs 😏 but it's very easy to use and great that you have the option to use different pods and grounded coffee.
