Nescafe Dolce Gusto

A new product that will change our usual coffee experience into an exciting one with a new range of delicious variants and powerful coffee machine was recently launched. Let’s rediscover coffee with the new NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto.

Christopher Stern – Nestle Business Executive

I am lucky enough to be invited in this grand launching and witness another innovation from Nestle. The new NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto changes the usual coffee experience into something more fun and ease. NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto is a new coffee machine with a propriety one portion capsule that produces high quality coffee-shop style beverages including Cappuccino, Vanilla Latte, Macchiato and Lungo (traditional cup of coffee). The machines offered are Piccolo (available in Red and White) and the Circolo (available in Anthracite and Grey Metal). 

What I like about NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto is the style, design, functionality, speed and of course the cost. For only P3,999 you can own a stylish Piccolo machine. Or  if you’re fancy enough you can get the award-winning Circolo machine. Both  are sophisticated in style and powerful, the Circolo has large water reservoir though.

Nescafe Dolce Gusto Piccolo – P3,999

In red and white designs, the Piccolo has swanky curved lines and a two-toned shell with an extendable spout that adjusts for different cup heights.

   Nescafe Dolce Gusto Circolo – P6,999

The Circolo model gives off a sleek and sexy vibe with its metal texture and spherical silhouette that comes in anthracite and cool grey.  

The capsules are available at P400 for 16 cups. For those varieties utilizing a milk capsule, the box will contain half milk and half coffee capsules equating to 8 cups. That’s a lot savings on my usual P150 trip to the nearest coffee shop.

Nescafe Dolce Gusto Capsule Variants

Nestle was the first company to launch single portion coffee capsules and has, in fact created that market. The NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto system which allows for a broad range of hot and cold beverages to be prepared, offering consumers a broader choice and more convenience than many existing machines.

During the event I was able to operate the machine with the assistance of a barista. It’s true - easy as 1,2,3. How do we start using the machine? Here’s a video taken during the media launch.

A simple way of preparing our delicious stylish coffee using Nescafe Dolce Gusto

First, decide your beverages: One (1) capsule beverages for Caffe Lungo and Espresso. Two capsule beverages include: Cappuccino, Vanilla Latte Macchiato, Mocha and Chococino.

Make sure the machine is on and wait until the power button light glows green.

Ready for action:

• POP in your favorite capsule into the capsule holder
• LOCK the handle down
• Move the custom control lever to the red setting (right) for hot beverages and blue setting (left) for cold beverages. The beverage then DROPs in your cup.

With the variety of capsules to choose from, I can always have my deliciously stylish Cappuccino or Mocha at the comfort of my home or work place.  

With my busy schedule I’m always in search for the latest innovation that will make life easy yet truly enjoyable. A cup of rich and smooth Caffe Lungo will surely make me stay awake while working on my assignments. 

Aside from coffee based beverages, non-caffeine drinks are also available. The rich devilishly creamy hot chocolate of Chococino will surely be your favorite. Mr. Stern said that there will be more variants coming next year.

In seconds and in comfort of your personal space, you can have the luxury and ease of enjoying espresso-based coffee concoction that you would normally get in coffee shops. There’s no mess, no fuss. Seriously good coffee!
