With the new Dolce Gusto® NEO coffee machine by Krups, NESCAFÉ® aim to redefine the world of capsule coffee machines. Their ambition relies on a very current triptych, spread on a barista-level performance, connectivity, and real environmental consciousness. The device, with its futuristic design, promises a home coffee-shop experience with no effort but only a single press, and the machine automatically adjusts extraction, pressure, and temperature thanks to SmartBrew™ technology.

As you can see, beyond its futuristic design, this coffee machine is mostly simple to use and contemporary options. From a tight espresso to a slowly brewed long coffee or a balanced Americano version, each drink may receive its tailor-made treatment (photo credits: NESCAFÉ®).
The most striking innovation may notably lie in the foam. Thus, with AirFoam™, this NEO machine is able to produce milk textured like in specialty cafés, as fine, dense, silky, almost spoonable, like latte macchiato, along hot chocolates and teas. The result is a tempting promise for cappuccino lovers but also all fans of indulgent drinks, often disappointed by home appliances. However, the innovation goes beyond what’s inside the cup. This international brand is clearly betting on sustainability. The new paper-based capsules are home-compostable, while the sachets, especially used for milk-based beverages, can enter a recycling stream. For your information, the machine itself includes 50% of recycled plastic (excluding food-contact areas) and can be repaired for up to 15 years. A rare direction in a market dominated by disposability, and one that could influence the future of this competitive sector. The connected features complete this promising picture. Via a Wi-Fi or Bluetooth connection, users can control their drink from the NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® mobile application, adjust volume and temperature, receive cleaning or descaling alerts, and collect PREMIO points, to beredeemable for gifts. A way to foster loyalty, but also to make this gustatory experience smoother and even more controlled.
Not everything is perfect, though. Nonetheless, the cost per cup remains quite high, comparing to coffee beans, since those pods are exclusive to this NEO system, and there is currently no decaf option. Still, this machine embraces its positioning, premium, technology-driven, focused on pleasure and responsibility.
Therefore, with this NEO took, it seems that Krups sends a clear signal. Apart from this, pod coffee is far from finished, since it is evolving, adapting, becoming greener, and moving ever closer to this so-desired barista experience that enthusiasts now expect at home.
