Is Nespresso Compatible With Dolce Gusto?
Nespresso and Dolce Gusto are not compatible. While both pods are produced by the same manufacturer, Nestle, the units accept different pod sizes and shapes and are not interchangeable. Nespresso pods are smaller and narrower, while Dolce pods are broader and rounder.
Can I Use Other Pods In Dolce Gusto?
You can use other pods in your Dolce Gusto machine. A few third-party capsules that offer this flexibility are Starbucks, Consuelo, Happy Belly, Ristora, and TreVenezie. When purchasing any of these pods, make sure the packaging states they’re Dolce Gusto compatible.
How To Convert Your Dolce Gusto To Nespresso?
You can convert your Dolce Gusto to Nespresso by using adaptors. They’re designed to have the same size and shape as the original Dolce Gusto capsule holder, making them easy to install. The inside of the adapter contains a small circular holding to fit Nespresso pods so you can experiment with a wide range of varieties and blends.

The Dolce Gusto adaptor fits into the capsule holder of the machine and allows you to brew your favorite Nespresso pods without the need for a separate coffee maker.

Ok, so we’re a little biased here of course but we wanted to create the best product for our customers.
We actually took the iCafilas design (because it works) but added an improved food grade silicone gasket to stop leaking and added stainless steel prongs to pierce the Nespresso pod (because they stay sharp much longer).
