Is your Dolce Gusto capsule tray stuck and won't open? Don't force it and risk breaking your machine! In this video, I’ll show you a very simple and effective hack to release a blocked capsule using just a hair dryer.
I explain exactly why this happens—usually due to the rubber diffuser plate sticking to the capsule over time—and how applying a bit of heat helps contract the materials to set it free. This trick works for almost all Dolce Gusto models!
In this video, you will learn:
Why your Dolce Gusto tray gets stuck.
How to safely use a hair dryer to unblock it.
Tips to prevent this from happening again.
