This Christmas past, I was very undecided as to
what I wanted from my parents – and so I asked them to surprise me! Needless to say, I was absolutely delighted
when I opened up my Dolce Gusto Coffee Machine on Christmas morning.
The machine itself is perfect in size, it’s
slightly larger than a kettle, yet small enough that you can leave it sitting
on the counter all of the time. It’s
really simple and totally safe – which makes me happy as I can be very clumsy
sometimes. With this machine, I’m not at
all worried about scolding myself… which is always a bonus!
To use, you fill up the water tank on the back of
the machine to the maximum point – which I have found gives me a decent sized
drink with every make. Next, you press
the on button on the side and wait for it to turn green, which only takes about
15 seconds to do so. Finally, you pick
your pods – one drink normally takes two pods (one for the coffee/tea and one
for the milk) depending on what it is that you are making. Pop in your pod, wait for the cup to fill up about half way, swap it over for the milk pod and hey presto - you did it! You really couldn’t get a simpler coffee machine
if you tried.

| Mocha anyone? |
My parents spoilt me this year with a variety of
different coffee pods to try out straight away, which consisted of caramel
mocha, regular mocha and vanilla macchiato.
However when I went to register my machine to activate the guarantee,
this qualified me for an extra £10 credit to my account. With the free credit burning a hole in my
pocket and an extra £10 cash to spare, I went ahead and ordered a variety of
drinks including: 1 x caramel macchiato, 1 x mocha, 1 x vanilla macchiato, 1 x
caramel mocha and 1 x chai tea latte. Each
and every single one of these drinks have been absolutely delicious. I love how professional each drink
looks and tastes – even watching it brewing from the two pods is mesmerizing.
Each box contains 8 drinks, which is pretty good
value at £4 when you take into consideration the amount that you can spend on just
one drink at Starbucks and Costa (… I’m still guilty of this though!) You can pick up the pods at most major
supermarkets at the moment, however if you’re looking for a large selection to choose from – I
recommend ordering direct from the Dolce Gusto website, as they have all their
drinks listed and delivery is free!
I’m really looking forward to trying out the other
varieties of drinks available for my Dolce Gusto machine, especially the cold
brewed ones, as I am yet to experiment with these.
Have you tried any of the Dolce Gusto range?
Until the next one,
