Although I’ve always loved the smell of coffee, but I didn’t become a coffee drinker until I became a mother. That so many people started their day with a cup of coffee used to mystify me but I’m now as addicted as the rest of the world, a happier person once I’ve had my cup of coffee.
I love the entire ceremony of that cup, waking up my senses one by one before I even sip it: the warmth of the cup spreads to the palms of my hands, the tendrils of coffee aroma snake up to my nose, and finally, the sweet bitterness of that first sip sends a jolt I can feel down to my toes. Before I started using a coffee maker at home, I was dependent on Starbucks for that cup of coffee, and the hectic days when I lacked the time to stand on line to worship at the altar of my local barrista were gray and dreary.
Then I discovered single serve coffee machines, and as long as I kept my pantry filled with pod refills, I could enjoy my little coffee awakening ritual in pajamas, in the privacy of my own home, without whipping out my wallet. And life was good, that much better, with great coffee at home.
Today for giveaway I have the latest coffee machine I’ve been enjoying at home: the Nescafe Dolce Gusto. I received my machine at a PR event I attended a few weeks ago, and Nescafe agreed to give me one to give away to one of my readers as well. It’s a great little machine that looks sleek yet takes up little room. It works with special Nescafe pods that you can order on Amazon or directly from Nescafe that come in a variety of flavors from sweet and delicious Caramel Macchiato to regular Cappucino. My kids love to make hot chocolate in it, because all the drinks that come out of the Nescafe Dolce Gusto are very pretty, with a gorgeous foam top any barrista would be proud of.

I like plain, because I can have it as it is or mix in a flavor if i’d like.
My favorite drink lately has been a Black Bear Latte at our local coffee shop. It’s espresso and chocolate, butterscotch, and caramel…I think.

I love flavored coffee but I must admit that my favorite is black. The Caramel Macchiato that you can get for the Nescafe is super yummy it rivals Starbucks.

I loved your description of why and how it is you love coffee! I love coffee. My favorites are either the ‘Americano’ (I love it’s strength yet smoothness with a little bit of milk to add) or the Keurig’s Timothy’s ‘German Chocolate Cake’ – a fine roasted with a hint of nuttiness flavor.
i love the coffee at McDonald’s. Dunkin Donuts is also excellent, but i do not go there very often.
i love dark columbian; actually, i just love coffee!!!!
i love white chocolate mochas…. insert drool here…
I love iced coffees with just a little sweetener, no milk or cream.

I have just discovered white hot chocolate through single serve machines and it is amazing! I would love to own my very own Nescafe Dolce Gusto machine! Thanks
I’ve always liked a rich, full bodied coffee. Columbian or french roast always pique my interest.

The best coffee i have ever had was in an old Algerian Coffee Shop in Old Compton Street in Soho, London. The shop is 123 years old and friendly with old-fashioned wooden shelves to the ceiling. And the staff are knowledgeable offering a choice of over 80 coffees and 120 teas from around the world. Just smelling their coffee direct from a jar and picking your own aroma is priceless. Must go if ever in London.
