The Dolce Gusto is a newer make of single-serve coffee brewer that is sold by Nescafe. Their pods are referred to as "capsules", and they come in a mix of tastes and roasts. The Dolce Gusto also operates with milk capsules so you can use a combination of coffee and milk to make up custom drinks like a latte or cappuccino.
Caffe Lungo The Caffe Lungo is one of the lighter roasts that has some naturally sweet tones to it. A great everyday kind of coffee for whenever you like to drink. You can also get Caffe Lungo in a decaf version if you prefer to skip the caffeine.
Caffe Americano A little stronger than the Lungo but still a good anytime coffee. It brews up with a good crema layer and is made with 100% Arabica beans.
Caffe Grande Intenso This is a coffee capsule for anyone who likes a really strong and bold cup of coffee. The beans have been darkly roasted to let out all the intense coffee flavor. It's a cup to really savor.
Cappuccino These are packed with milk capsules, and when you run both a milk capsule and the accompanying coffee capsule through the machine, you get a perfectly balanced and creamy cappuccino. You can also get a low-fat version (the skinny cappuccino), or one made to be served cold over ice (cappuccino ice).
Chococino This is a pairing of a hot chocolate capsule and a milk capsule for a very creamy sweet cup of "chocolate cappuccino". Unlike making hot chocolate from a powder, this is much smoother and richer.
Latte Macchiato Similar to the cappuccino, but with a darker blend of coffee mixed with the milk capsule. A latte macchiato goes very well as an after dinner coffee served with dessert. For that matter, so does the cappuccino.
Mocha What blends better than coffee and chocolate? This is another 2-capsule mix of one coffee/chocolate mocha blend and a milk capsule. This is a very rich and sweet drink to treat yourself with.
Espresso This is the strongest cup you can brew with a Dolce Gusto, and it's intended to be brewed with a smaller volume of water (2 oz) just like a true espresso. It even brews with a good layer of crema.
Peach Iced Tea Dolce Gusto is starting to make tea capsules too, with more varieties to come. Right now, you can brew up some very light and fruity peach tea to be served over ice.
The Dolce Gusto machines themselves currently come in 3 models, all with a rounded retro look. The newer Circolo model comes in titanium dark grey, red or chocolate brown and it's round shape makes it very unique. The Piccolo is ideal if you don't have a lot of counter space, though it still has all the Dolce Gusto features. The classic and original model is the Melody, with it's globe design and chrome accents.
All machines are made by Krups, so you know they are of the highest quality.
