Where to get Dolce Gusto coffee

Options
Santa brought me a Dolce Gusto coffee maker, and it came with a small selection of coffee pods.
Can anybody suggest a good (ie. cheap) place to buy pods from, and/or voucher codes or freebies?

Thanks!

    I've never seen them on special offer and they seem to be similar price in all the supermarkets, however you MUST register the machine on the website, they send you occasional samples and MOC when they bring out a new variety. Also each time you open a box register the code thats inside the box and you can save the points to get free boxes and/or extra cups (however the p&p is a bit steep).
    Enjoy, i use mine most days

    Boxes are roughly £3.15 a box and im yet to see them any cheaper than this unless you bulk buy then i dont think you will be saving a great deal.

    The other thing to watch is how many are in the box as some only make 8 drinks such as the hot choc, latte and cappuccino. The rest make 16 cups.

    If you register your machine online you will get a load of points, each box of pods has a code for 11 points, all which you can redeem on line.
    From time to time Nestle send out sample pods, vouchers, and from time to time Tesco have printed out till vouchers when I've been shopping.
    Make sure you de-scale your machine as per instructions if you want it to last, mine packed up after only 9 months use.

    Thanks for the info.
    We tried the cappuccino today, and their (dried) milk pod was pretty horrible; I think we'll be using the espresso or lungo coffee with fresh milk from now on.
  • The Chococino is lovely so worth a try. Also Have a look on Ebay as there are several sellers on there who sell big packs of just one flavour fairly cheaply.
    I have also managed to find lots of packs in Asda/Tesco over the year that I have had my machine, the boxes often seem to get a bit squashed so they end up in the reduced sections, usually about half price.

    The Skinny Latte and cappuccino pods have a better flavour, but I tend to just buy the espresso pods, in fact I'd probably done better with a Nespresso machine as used by Mr Clooney!

    We got one of these at Christmas and love it tho do find the pods quite expensive. I registered it online along with codes and then realised for a FREE pack of pods you have to pay £3.50 p&p! I have just contacted them from website asking why points cant be exchanged for a voucher to redeem at local supermarket. I suggest others do the same and it might make them more likely to consider it.
