I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Mom Central for NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto, and received a promotional item to thank me for my participation.
Why NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto?
I love coffee. Let me just get that out of the way. I’ve had a very personal relationship with coffee since my college days when I had to get my first full-time job during the summer and struggled to wake up early like a real working person. Ok, I still struggled even after working full-time for 14 years. Nowadays though, I blame it on my kids. They keep me up late, wake me up during the night and keep me running all day. Coffee is pretty much a necessity! As a busy mom schlepping kids off to school and daycare in the morning, I don’t have time to run to the local coffee shop, nor do I typically even have time to boil water for a french press. I need good coffee and I need it quick. A couple of years ago, I was lucky enough to be introduced to an awesome single cup coffee machine by NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto. I owned their starter version, the Piccolo, for years and have loved every cup of coffee. My standby every morning is their Caffe Americano, but I also love their Cappuccino Ice on warm summer afternoons and their Espresso when I need a quick burst! So, when I was recently offered the opportunity to review their higher level (and most popular) Genio machine, how could I refuse?
NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Genio Features
What I love most about the NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Genio machine is definitely the flavor, but the ease and speed of preparing one of their beverages is also top-notch. You can make anything from iced coffee to a caramel macchiato in under a minute, and they look and taste like they’re from a great coffee shop. The espresso even has a wonderful crema that is completely effortless (but doesn’t look like it is!) Here are some of the other features that I love about my NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Genio and the coffee that I make with it:
- There are 19 different hot and cold beverage varieties
- Custom scroll wheel allows user to adjust strength and size of coffee
- Designed with a 15-bar pressure system, comparable to those used professionally at coffee shops
- Drinks are made with all natural whole milk that’s hormone and preservative free
- Available starting this Fall at select California Target locations (and online), and at select California Costco locations!

What a great machine! I love that you can make hot and cold beverages with it!
I love that feature too! I love iced coffee and it makes a really great one! 🙂
Love all the different flavor options!
I’ve tried almost all of them and they’re great, very authentic to what you’d get at a good coffee shop.
Actually, I do not drink coffee LOL and I have never had a cup of coffee in my life (I have tasted it, just do not like it). BUT my husband loves white mochas and would love if I won this! 🙂
Fingers crossed for your hubby then! 🙂 This makes iced tea and hot cocoa as well in case you like either of those!
SOLD!! 😉
That was easy! 🙂
I don’t drink coffee — don’t like the taste of it. However, my mother likes coffee and I do love tea, which I believe Nescafe Dolce Gusto makes tea.
It also makes really good hot chocolate, so much better than those little dry mix packets I used to buy for the kids 🙂
Coffee is my LIFE!
I’m with you on that one Andie 😉
Coffee = Non Zombie momma
I’m with you there!
Wow cool machine
I love it, it’s nice and compact for my crazy crowded countertops too 🙂
This mama cannot live without her daily coffee, I’d love to have this!!
Best of luck!
I grind my beans every pot, but this would be perfect for those days I’m in a hurry!
It’s great for rushed mornings, less than a minute!
any of them I LOVE my coffee
I’m with you, I’ll take it any which way! 🙂
Maxwell House is what’s in my house today.
Hopefully soon it’ll be Dolce Gusto instead! Good luck! 🙂
We would use this multiple times during the day. This would be awesome to win.
Good luck to you!
My coffee of choice in the warmer months is Iced Hazelnut Coffee
There is nothing better than iced coffee on a warm day!
dark roast…black & hot!
I love a good strong coffee too!
My nearly everyday go-to is plain ol’ black coffee with a tad of sweetener. We have a Keurig at work, so I bring a package of dark roast K-cups with me to make when I need caffeine! On a weekly basis, I stop at the coffee shop and get a latte of some flavor – right now, it’s Pumpkin Spice of course!
Ooh I love Pumpkin Spice! Tis the season! 🙂
I like my coffee bold & black- but I’m also a sucker for anything pumpkin-flavored this time of year!
I love my coffee strong & black- but I’m a sucker for pumpkin lattes this time of year 🙂
Aren’t we all? 🙂
Any breakfast roast flavor!
Always a great choice! Nescafe has a great breakfast blend for the Dolce Gusto machines that I really like 🙂
I am obsessed with this machine and hazelnut coffee.
I love hazelnut too!
Latte
My go to coffee drink is a non fat cinnamon dolce latte from Starbucks, but if I am brewing at home I like it with two creams and one sugar.
i make mine with whole milk usually, sometimes i add maple syrup for sweetness
I enjoy Vanilla flavored coffee.
I love french vanilla coffee.
French Vanilla is my go-to flavor.
Right now my “go to” beverage (when I’m feeling extra fancy) is a pumpkin spice latte! I can’t help it… the fall and the seasons changing and the pumpkin… Love it!
It’s pretty much impossible to resist a pumpkin spice latte! I bought pumpkin spice creamer last year but haven’t seen it yet this year!
My go-to coffee beverage is always caramel flavored syrup in my black coffee with no sugar or cream! I love all coffee though.
I’m a white chocolate mocha fan myself!
I really like white mocha frappuccino or iced coffee with caramel!
I like french vanilla coffee
My Go To Coffee Beverage Right Now Is Pumpkin Spice Latte, Perfect For Fall!

My to go to coffee beverage is a pumpkin spice latte.
