Timely return to the thread..... our Dolce Gusto has just packed in so looking for a replacement.
I am tempted to go for bean to cup but

likes the pod style for convenience. I used to make cold coffee sometimes from the DG, add ice and enjoy a chilled latte. Very nice. The cold filtration systems look fun....might experiment with one. Now...where’s my glass blowing burner? Ah the memories of glass blowing for the lab.
