Bring the Coffeehouse home with NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto

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.

Have I mentioned lately that I  am addicted to LOVE COFFEE? Oh, I have? Well, just to make sure you know that I am in deep hot-and-heavy love with coffee, I am blogging about it again.  I’ve been drinking three cups in the morning and one in the afternoon for quite a while now. Lest the romance become stale, I’ve found a new way to enjoy it – I’ve brought a third party into the relationship. Scandal! Here’s my new paramour, the  NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto.

The NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto is a singler-serve coffee maker – the fastest-growing single-serve solution, in fact. It also makes delicious teas and can pump out gourmet beverages either hot OR cold. Hooray for versatility! I really love the convenience of being able to make a fancy, tasty drink in under a minute and having multiple varieties and flavors to choose from – it’s GREAT for entertaining! If you have (shudder!) a friend who doesn’t love coffee, you can offer them a Chai Tea Latte, Chococino, or Nestea Peach Iced Tea. Something for everyone, wheee!

What I most love about the Dolce Gusto is that it’s sooo easy to use. I’m pretty good at messing stuff up and I think the Dolce Gusto is Jenny-proofed (which is the same as idiot-proofed, I suppose!) All you do is put water in, put a coffee capsule in, and press either the hot or cold button. (Oh, and UM…don’t forget to place a mug under the spout first. Not that I’ve ever forgotten…)

Then, watch your tasty drink get dispensed right before your eyes…

Mmm…frothy!

So, I know many of you may have tried different single-serve beverage makers, and you might be wondering what’s different about the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto. Why is it so speeeecial? Well, I’ll tell you! 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. I love the way you can personalize your flavors by choosing how much of each flavor you want in your drink.

And speaking of personalizing…I added a little flavor to my frothy Chococino hot chocolate. Because ’tis the holiday season, and the season for peppermint! So I concocted an absolutely scrumptious treat, the Peppermint Chococino!

Making my Peppermint Chococino was as simple as can be! First, I prepared a NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Chococino as directed. Then, I added two drops of peppermint extract – you can add more or less to taste. Then, I topped it off with some whipped cream and holiday-themed sprinkles. Ta-da! The perfect, delicious, festive holiday drink ready in a snap!

My hubby and I are really enjoying the Dolce Gusto and so are the friends we’ve entertained this holiday season! Speaking of the holidays, the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto would make a great gift, and you can get 20% off on one of these fabulous machines with coupon code “GustoGift!” (without quotes, including the exclamation point).

So tell me, have you tried the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto yet? What’s your favorite flavor? Do you like to use it for hot or cold drinks?
