Can you believe that until Saturday I had never tried coffee?
I am a tea person who also loves my hot chocolate!
It was a lovely surprise when the post lady knocked on the door Saturday afternoon with my parcel. A speedy delivery at this time of year is always welcome! Having guests who love coffee in the house a bonus. What better time to try it out?
Trying to read the instructions all I got was a "come on when you making us a drink?"
Once I started making them I ran out of special cups to serve them in, everyone wanted to try one. Last but not least I eventually got to try one, to say it was my first ever cup (vanilla latte macchiato) I really enjoyed it. Slightly rich tasting, as the glass went down it started to taste better. It is still early days, I may convert to a coffee drinker yet?! 30 years after my 1st cup of tea. Who would have thought it.?
I was really impressed with the NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® Mini Me, I have never seen a cup of coffee go from cold water to a hot drink so quickly.
Essentially you fill up the water at back, switch the machine on for about 30 secs wait for light to go green from flashing red. Put whichever pod you want in. Select the plastic switch based on what it says on pod. Put cup or glass in. Then turn on hot or cold depending on choice. Sometimes you use two pods for one drink. It mixes lovely. Certainly for people watching it has the wow factor. It smells great and most importantly tastes great..

Sent hubby to buy some Chococino, I could not wait for the weekly shopping trip!! One word to sum it up "Delightful" enough said... Eldest son grunted he enjoyed it. High praise indeed!!!!
I got sent a NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® Mini Me coffee maker and some coffee for the purpose of this review . I was not paid for this post and all thoughts are my own honest opinion.
