NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto: Enjoy Specialty Coffee Drinks At Home #MC #sponsored @DolceGustoUS

December 20, 2013 by Dawn McAlexander

I participated in a campaign on behalf of Mom Central Consulting for NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto. I received product samples to facilitate my review as well as a thank me for my participation.

I love coffee. And I really adore specialty drinks. But, there really isn’t a great coffee shop that I love in my town, so I am glad that I can make awesome drinks at home using the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Genio.

NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto is the only machine that truly delivers delicious, coffee-house quality creations every time with patented smart capsule technology delivering up to 15 bars of professional pressure and espresso technology.

Introducing the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Genio

From the comfort of your home, you can conveniently create coffee-house quality drinks without the high cost. You can choose from 17 hot or cold drinks that you can customize to your taste specifications. These coffee beverages feature true crema and layers of indulgent milk froth, in only minutes. Never fear your coffee going stale again. With the patented smart capsule technology, your coffee will always be fresh.

Our Thoughts On The NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Genio

We love the specialty flavors that came with our machine which included: Caramel Latte Macchiato, Chococino, Skinny Latte Macchiato and Chai Tea Latte. My husband and daughter both love the Chococino most. It seriously tastes like drinking real chocolate {not the stuff that comes in a pack}. My favorite is the Chai Tea Latte, though I also especially love the Caramel Latte Macchiato. I really hope to try the Cappuccino really soon, too, as I typically love those at specialty coffee shops.

How To Operate The NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Genio

Making a drink with the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Genio is really easy. For this demonstration, we are making a Caramel Latte Macchiato. First, you turn on the machine and wait for the power button to turn green.

Next, you take out the cartridge and insert the first coffee capsule that you are going to use. After you close the cartridge back, pull down the silver lever.

The drinks that we had all required 2 capsules and easy to follow instructions are on each box. Select Hot or Cold to begin brewing. Repeat the previous steps with your 2nd capsule for your drink and voila!

The NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Is Not Just For Drinks

We made Ghirardelli Caramel Turtle Brownies the other night, but instead of using ll the milk that it called for, we substituted half Caramel Latte Macchiato. The brownies turned out really well and tasted very much like caramel. Yum!

    Never thought of using it for recipes like brownies – great idea!! Maybe I’ll get one of these for Christmas. 🙂

    Lots of flavor options. While my husband normally just wants plain dark, he likes flavors occasionally. It’s fun to mix it up, especially nice in the evenings. Hope the coffee area is still working for you.

    I love all of these types of drink makers. Personally, I have a Keurig. At first I thought they were wasteful, but they are soooo convenient. Thank you for sharing info about Nescafe.

    I would love to have one of these. I love specialty drinks and this might even save me money, since I wouldn’t have to leave my house to buy them.

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      January 13, 2014 at 4:02 pm

      Definitely unpack it. I have the “other brand” too, but they each make different drinks. The more the merrier, right. 😉

    I’ve never tried these but they look absolutely delicious! The Chai Latte sounds really good.
