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.



With the holidays in full swing, I am sure that you, like me, need a little break between shopping, wrapping, holiday entertaining, school parties, work shindigs, In-laws…

There are several different styles of the Dolce Gusto machines available and I received the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Genio to try. The NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto is a coffee machine with a proprietary one portion capsule that produces high quality coffee house style drinks including Espresso, Cappuccino, Latte Macchiato and Lungo. This will surely come in handy not only for entertaining this holiday but for when we need a little pick me up this season!



We love our single serve coffee maker but with the Dolce Gusto we can now make “fancy” drinks. My husband is the coffee drinker while the kids and I like our hot chocolates and cappuccinos. The first drink we tried was the Chococino. This requires two capsules, one that gives you the hot chocolate and the other capsule for the frothy milk. Each capsule is marked for the recommend strength on how to adjust your machine. But you can always adjust the scroll bar on the top of the machine for a custom drink. I used the recommend fourth level for my Chococino. This tasted a bit stronger than a regular mug of hot chocolate. You could really taste the cocoa flavor, making it more rich coupled with the frothy milk on top…that was a nice touch.



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. What does 15 bars mean? Fifteen bars of pressure means a frothy, coffee house experience on demand, in your home kitchen. 15 bars of pressure refers to the barometric pressure that builds up inside every smart capsule. 15 bars is like being 500 ft underwater!

The line brews over 17 different hot and cold beverages – with true crema and expertly layered specialty beverages with an indulgent fine milk froth – in under a minute. Beverages feature 100% Arabica coffee from Nescafé – the most popular coffee brand in the world with over 4,500 cups consumed every second.

The retail price for 16 beverages runs $9.49. For those varieties utilizing a milk capsule, the box will contain half milk and half coffee capsules equating to 8 beverage servings. The beverage varieties include:
