Can you use other pods or just the Dolce Gusto pods?

I think only the Dolce Gusto pods fit on it. I've never used other. Otherwise, Dolce Gusto have a great selection. Enjoy!!!

Only the Dolce Gusto pods.. unless it says it fits the nespresso machines... for sure the k-cups are too big.

You can only use the Dolce Gusto pods by Nescaffe. They are available at Sears and Frys or you canbuy them on-line.. Ron

to my knowledge, only the Dolce Gusto pods. And those were hard to find in the store.

Only the Dolce Gusto Pods. The other pods are shaped completely differently and won't fit. Also the pressure is much higher on the Gusto machine. No other pods will work, not the one's sold seperately for use with "Your" coffee, nothing will work. On the K-cup machines they cut a hole in the bottom and top when inserted, the pods on the Gusto are pre punched.

I have only used the Dolce Gusto. I'm familiar with both the 'K' cup and the Tassimo 'T' cups, and just from casual observation don't expect that they would work. However, I could be wrong.

K-cups won't fit into the Dolce Gusto. If you're buying the DG anyway, you could use it to dispense hot water for loose tea or tea bags.

I make a long on our office Nespresso and there would be a little room for cream or sugar if I took them. I don't know specifics about the pods.

I'm not sure if they sell tea in pods. You can only use Nespresso brand pods.Look on their site.

These pods will only fit the Starbucks Verismo machines. They are a different dimension than the K-cups and the Starbucks K-cups and will not work in any machine other than Starbucks Verismo.

You really can't, that is, the machine uses special aluminum pods that you buy from Nespresso. There are instructions online on how to re-use those specific pods. But, I use my Keurig machine for coffee. The nespresso is truly a wonderful espresso machine, that's function is incredible espresso, and cappuccino.

If Dolce Gusto pods are similar to K cups, then they will fit nicely and easy to reach. We really like this carousel and would recommend it to anyone who uses K cups.

I just called Nesspresso and spoke to a live rep and asked her if the pods w would fit the dolche gusto or any other machine and she said no--but I am still going to go to Williams Sonoma and see for myself---

No...you cannot use the little aluminum nespresso pods for which George Clooney is a spokesperson and which are so popular in Europe. You have to buy nescafe dolce gusto pods which are bigger, and plastic and come in about 20 different flavors.

No. Only the Dolce Gusto pods work in these machines, and no fill-your-own pods or filters. If you want an occasional cappuccino and don't want the mess -- or to pay $4-5 at the coffee shop -- then this is the way to go. If you shop online with care, a cappuccino runs around $1 or a non-milk drink runs about half of that (esspresso, longo, americano, tea). We love ours. Considering getting one for my Mom, who prefers a European style coffee once or twice a day. The Dolce Gusto is perfect for that. FYI: the best deal we've found for pods is to "subscribe" either at the Dolce-Gusto store, or as of last week or so, here at Amazon. It's slightly cheaper here at Amazon, but to get the best price you need to buy 3-packs of the same flavor. The subscription doesn't have to be monthly and can be changed or cancelled any time. The next best price is by subscribing for four boxes at the Dolce Gusto store. That gets you free, fast shipping and you can mix the flavors any way that you like. Again, the subscription does not have to be monthly, and you can cancel it anytime. We don't want the same mix of flavors every month, so we cancel one subscription and immediately start another with the adjusted mix of flavors that we want in the next shipment.

You can buy the pods on line or at bed bath and beyond. Those are the only two places that I know. Actually there are a couple other places online but that is the only store you can go to.

If you can take the coffee out of the k cup you can use it in the pod. Any coffee can work in the pod.

I was given the Dolce Gusto as a gift. I was delighted until I discovered that the pods are only sold online and that there are no other pods that will fit this machine. Bummer.

Yes you can reuse them many times and they work very well, one recommendation, you will have to tamp the coffee or espresso down very tight to get the same or close to the same consistency as the normal pods. I love them because I can also use my favorite coffee or espresso and clean up is easy.

Can you use other brands off the shelf or is it limited to Melitta brand pods?

There are other pods available from other suppliers.. Do a search on Amazon.. Also I have found that if you use #1 coffee filters in the basket you can use regular grind coffee..

K-cups have a 2 inch diameter at top, but it's longer than the Dolce Gusto. So, I am guessing your Dolce Gusto coffee pods should fit. The only thing I'm unsure about is the pointy bottom of your Dolce Gusto coffee pods - whether that would be a problem because this dispenser uses a spring-loaded panel to push the pods to the front. If you can make your way to Bed Bath and Beyond, you can ask the clerks to show you one in action.
