In my country, there was a sale on the Nescafe Dolce Gusto online store where if you purchase 10 boxes of Nescafe Dolce Gusto capsules, you will be able to redeem a FREE cherry red Piccolo machine.The Piccolo machine is on sale for $109 SGD whereas a single box of capsules sells for $11.90 SGD. That means for $119 SGD, you will be able to receive 10 boxes of capsules and a Piccolo coffee machine, a HUGE bargain. This means that you can enjoy a cup of cafe style coffee for less than a dollar!
The Machine
Of course, with such a good deal, one cannot expect the free machine to be the latest model. The Piccolo machine is a rather old model that came out in 2010 (8 years ago). However, don't be put off by this as the Piccolo machine has many pros.
The Goods :
- The Piccolo machine is a very compact sized machine, only slightly bigger than your average sized kettle. It fits on small table tops and very portable too
- It is also extremely easy to use. It is simple and takes a really short amount of time to dispense your coffee
- It can dispense both hot and cold water. This function is extremely useful to people living abroad or in small places.
- It is very nice looking. The picture speaks for itself
The Bads :
- (for the sale only) When you purchase your 10 boxes of capsules, you can only get the Cherry Red Piccolo machine and cannot choose any other colours, however, Cherry Red is still very pleasing to the eye
- It makes a rather loud noise while dispensing the coffee. (only for minute at most though since coffee dispenses very fast)
- It has a very small water tank, probably only enough for you to make 2 drinks. (you can buy a bigger water tank online though)
Overall, I think it is a very very worth it coffee machine even if it is at its usual price of $109 SGD. It is the perfect coffee machine for a beginner like me and for people who lives in small places.
Rating : 8/10
