NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Coffee Maker {Review} @DolceGustoUS #AD #MC

Disclosure:  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.

Did you know that the “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?”  Now I am no coffee expert and honestly I am clueless when it comes to making anything beyond regular coffee.  I don’t even know how to work our current coffee maker!

Well the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Coffee Maker is no ordinary coffee maker, but that doesn’t mean it is hard to use either.  It makes coffee, chai tea latte, cappuccino, mocha, caramel latte macchiato, caffe americano, caffe lung, peach iced tea, expresso and more!  It is a single-serve coffee machine using the Nestle family and is manufactured under the De’Longhi name.  There are over 17 different hot and cold beverages to choose from with true creme and expertly layered speciality beverages with indulgent fine milk froth in just under a minute!  The coffee stays fresh and the scroll system helps to deliver coffee-house quality beverages every time!  The different beverages feature 100% Arabic coffee from Nescafe, which is the most popular coffee brand in the world right now with over 4,500 cups consumed every second.  The NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto is the fastest growing single serve coffee solution!

Some features:

• Exclusive Thermoblock technolog heats the water quickly in turn helping the machine brew quicky
• Custom controls let you decide the strength of your coffee drink
• Only 100% Arabica coffee beans used, chosen because of its intense and fragrant flavor
• Create coffee-house quality beverages without the cost or mess
• Great to give as a gift or use for entertaining

Okay so if you are someone who heads out to your local coffeehouse often for your favorite drink, then the NESCAFE Dolce Gusto Coffee Maker is definitely one to check out.  It is a machine that uses special little pods and for the coffee-making challenged people like me, and it is super easy.  Literally all you have to do is add water to the tank in the back, pop in a pod and push down.  Now the Dolce Gusto is different than other single-serve coffee makers because it uses two pods per drink so you can get that frothy cream taste on your fancy drinks.

So what did I think of it?  Well the taste was great on my Caramel Latte Macchiato was amazing and my husband loves the Chai Tea but I am not sure its worth it for us.  My husband normally drinks a few cups each morning and with these costing about $2.50 a drink (saying the box costs $10 and you get 4 drinks out of it from the 8 pods) I am not sure its financially worth it for us.  For an occasional treat or for entertaining it is definitely a nice idea since everyone can make their own flavored drink but for someone who is fine with regular coffee this is not an everyday coffee maker.  The drinks are good and I am interested in trying out the other flavors.  It really is super easy though and the design is so slim that it would fit nicely on any kitchen counter.

Notice the dots level on the side, that tells you what to set the setting at for optimum taste, but you can of course personalize it with whatever setting you want:

While my chai tea was awesome, I did spice it up with some caramel syrup and ice:
