The NESCAFE Dolce Gusto Genio is a single-serve coffee machine that allows you to have a fresh cup of coffee, espresso, hot cocoa, iced cappuccino, and more at a moment&#8217;s notice.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I&#8217;ll admit that I&#8217;m not an avid coffee drinker, but I sure to enjoy a good cup of coffee. I love single serve machines because I only drink one cup at a time and there&#8217;s no waste. Better yet, the coffee keeps fresh in its vacuumed sealed cups, so I needn&#8217;t worry about it going bad in between cups of coffee, as capsules last up to one year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2014\/10\/2014-09-30-16.12.42.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-14396\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2014\/10\/2014-09-30-16.12.42.jpg?resize=367%2C652&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"2014-09-30 16.12.42\" width=\"367\" height=\"652\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2014\/10\/2014-09-30-16.12.42.jpg?resize=576%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 576w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2014\/10\/2014-09-30-16.12.42.jpg?resize=900%2C1600&amp;ssl=1 900w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2014\/10\/2014-09-30-16.12.42.jpg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 367px) 100vw, 367px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Before the NESCAFE Dolce Gusto Genio, I would go out to Starbucks&#8217; for my coffee treat, but now it&#8217;s like having my own local coffee bar at home. My kids enjoy cold coffee drinks too. Since getting the NESCAFE Dolce Gusto Genio machine, my son often comes home from school asking for an iced cappuccino.\u00a0The process to\u00a0operate the NESCAF\u00c9 Dolce Gusto Genio is easy, fun and safe; my kids enjoy making\u00a0their own cup.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The NESCAFE\u00a0Dolce Gusto Genio is a stylish looking machine with 15 bars of professional pressure and espresso technology. For milk-based specialty drinks, there&#8217;s a two-step process; use one capsule for coffee and the other typically for a cream addition, making a nice milky froth to complement your coffee. \u00a0It&#8217;s these 15 bars of pressure that delivers such a superior taste, layered with velvety frothy creme.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Features<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>19 hot and cold beverage varieties available<\/li>\n<li>adjustable controls for coffee strength<\/li>\n<li>airtight capsules provide fresh coffee and rich tech<\/li>\n<li>automatically switch turns off coffee machine after 20 minutes of non-use<\/li>\n<li>the pressurized watcher is shot through the cup to produce the coffee which means the machine doesn&#8217;t not need to be cleaned inside<\/li>\n<li>customize your drink using the scroll wheel and flow stop capabilities to adjust strength and size of coffee<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong> Pros<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>nice design, doesn&#8217;t take up a lot of space<\/li>\n<li>3 cup (21 oz. reservoir)<\/li>\n<li>no mess, grounds are self-contained within the capsule<\/li>\n<li>beverage is made in less than a minutes<\/li>\n<li>rich robust tastes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Cons<\/strong>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>can only brew one cup at a time, so guests can&#8217;t all enjoy a cup of coffee together at the same time<\/li>\n<li>only uses NESCAFE capsules &#8211; no other brands<\/li>\n<li>NESCAFE Dolce Gusto capsules hard to find in stores, but available online<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The coffee is made by Nestle NESCAFE,\u00a0the world-wide leader in coffee. NESCAFE uses 100% Aribica coffee beans and the coffee is amazingly good. The cream is made from whole milk and is preservative and hormone free. Most capsule packs come with 8 servings for specialty drinks and 16 servings for coffee and retail for $9.49 a box.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Flavors include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Americano<\/li>\n<li>Espresso<\/li>\n<li>Skinny Cappuccino<\/li>\n<li>Iced Cappuccino<\/li>\n<li>Hot Cocoa<\/li>\n<li>Peach Iced Tea<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2014\/10\/Nescafe-Dolce-Flavor-Wheel.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-14395\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2014\/10\/Nescafe-Dolce-Flavor-Wheel.jpg?resize=656%2C608&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Nescafe Dolce Flavor Wheel\" width=\"656\" height=\"608\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2014\/10\/Nescafe-Dolce-Flavor-Wheel.jpg?w=916&amp;ssl=1 916w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2014\/10\/Nescafe-Dolce-Flavor-Wheel.jpg?resize=300%2C278&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/wellconnectedmom.com\/blog\/p-content\/themes\/atahualpa342\/images\/articles\/2014\/10\/Nescafe-Dolce-Flavor-Wheel.jpg?resize=900%2C834&amp;ssl=1 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 656px) 100vw, 656px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>NESCAFE Dolce Gusto Genio is available for $129.99 at select California Target and Costco locations as well as online at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.target.com\/p\/nescafe-dolce-gusto-genio-by-de-longhi\/-\/A-15761986#prodSlot=medium_1_10&amp;term=dolce+gusto\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Target.com<\/a>. \u00a0IF you&#8217;re looking to add a splash of color to your coffee brewer as well as more personal preference control,\u00a0\u00a0the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dolce-gusto.us\/en\/coffee-machines-universe\/melody\/manual\/melody-manual.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">NESCAFE Dolce Gusto Melody 2<\/a>\u00a0is another machine to consider. \u00a0We love its red color and bigger water reservoir. \u00a0It&#8217;s a manual machine which gives you more control. \u00a0We&#8217;ve tried it, it works great. \u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nescafe-Dolce-Gusto-Melody-Coffee\/dp\/B0085YGIBI\/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1414276384&amp;sr=8-5&amp;keywords=nescafe+dolce+gusto+melody+2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Amazon <\/a>sells it for $169.99.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The NESCAFE Dolce Gusto Genio\u00a0is the most popular Nescafe machine due to it&#8217;s counter space saving design, automatic features, and price point.
