Gremesso
This coffee preparation system was also created inSwitzerland. Its founder was the company Delica. The number of tastes that this system offers is not too different from the “trend setter”. It is equal to fifteen. Among them - four types of tea. From the coffee beverage manufacturer offers Ristretto and espresso, macchiato and lungo.

This does not interfere with the preparation of the drink due to the fact that the capsules for "Tassimo" produce much larger sizes than the existing analogues. At the same time, they have the form of a disk in which there are nine grams of uncompressed coffee. In this regard, capsular coffee machines Tassimo do not need a powerful pressure of water to knock out the necessary flavor. Unpressed obsessed disks easily fall into your cup.

Customer reviews indicate somenegative points in the work of devices "Tassimo". These units are quite capricious in operation and their reliability is lower than those of coffee machines that were described above.

At the same time the device finds out information on the necessary volume of water, the necessary temperature and time of process.
Weak link capsular system "Tassimo"is a small variety of flavors. Their manufacturer offers a total of 11. In this list, 3 types of classic black coffee, the same - with milk, 4 tea drinks and one cocoa. As you can see, the diversity of this list does not shine. In addition, there are only six real coffee drinks in the list. And this is quite a bit.
Cooked drinks have a smallcost, as the price of 16 capsules for "Tassimo" is 300-400 rubles. It should be borne in mind that dainties are twice as expensive. This is due to the use of two disks. In one of them should be coffee, and in the other - liquid milk concentrate. According to user feedback, this machine is very economical and attractive to the family budget. However, it is recommended to acquire it only when the coffee drinks prepared by it completely suit the consumer to taste, and he is not going to experiment with various varieties of fragrant grains.

Что касается системы Dolce Gusto, то про нее can not say for sure. On the one hand, it is economical and has a wide palette of tastes. However, in this case, the quality of drinks suffers.
