Whatever it may be, if you’re an adult human, chances are you have some kind of morning ritual that involves a drink. Now, just what the specifics on the routine happen to be is definitely going to vary not just from household to household, but from person to person. Take my fiancée and me for example. I’m a morning person, so I prefer to start my day with a jaunty hop out of bed, a quick espresso, and a dive into my emails. For Sarah, on the other hand, consciousness doesn’t come so quickly. A typical morning for her is spent with a full cup of coffee and her daily news podcasts before she’s fully functional. It’s this difference between us that brings me to the point of this post: how perfect the new NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® is.

Even after the single serve machine revolution, to support the contrasting morning activities we each have would require either two separate machines or trips to a coffee shop every day. Of course there have been options in more recent years that would take care of both, but they’re typically pricey and still don’t do anything else beyond coffee and espresso. With the Dolce Gusto, not only can you superbly prepare these two lovely beverages, but several others as well with complete ease. Need a peach iced tea for your mother-in-law that just decided to pop in? Yeah, it can do that. How about some skinny latte macchiatos for your guests after dinner? It can do that too. AND they’re made with real frothy milk. AND there’s no extra equipment or special cleaning required (definitely one of my favorite aspects of these devices).

If you’ve been burned by the quality of other coffee pod machines before, let me assure you this will not be the case with these. Light/Medium/Dark Roast, Café Au Lait, Grand Intenso, House Blend Americano—the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto uses a professional grade, 15 bar pressure system to create its amazing coffee. Between the flavor, aroma, and crema this gadget produces, you’re probably only going see the inside of a coffee shop again when you go on vacation. As for the other drinks, the smart capsules themselves tell the machine just how many bars it takes to make the perfect cup.
