The reason that most buyers pick this model is really down to 2 things which are:

There are around 15 different models of coffee pod machine available on the UK market. They all work on the same basic principle. You fill the machine with water, insert a pod, capsule or disc, and then hit a button to get your choice of coffee drink out the bottom.

Our Verdict on the Nescafé Dolce Gusto Jovia by De'Longhi
- This model sells really well and has been doing so for a few years
- The two brands are well known and there is a really good variety of pods available for this model
- We don't like the fact that it is manual as it means you have to be there when the coffee is being made to turn it off
- That said it does make really good coffee and worth the effort
With an 88% buyer satisfaction rating it is clearly a very good machine that buyers seem to like a lot. In terms of a pod coffee machine this is right at the top of the pile, and came in at number 4 on our list..
However if this is not the model for you, then why not check out our top 10 list of filter coffee machines, by clicking right here.
We believe if you can find this machine for under ÂŁ50, then it is worth that investment. It does make good latte and it holds the higher latte style glasses which is good.
As long as you are OK with the manual operation, then in terms of style, ease of use and coffee quality this is a very good coffee maker.
