Nescafe shows the future of coffee machines

MANILA, Philippines - Coffee beans literally travelled the whole world before finally landing on your doorstep. The energizing effect of the coffee bean plant is believed to have been discovered in the northeast region of Ethiopia, whence the cultivation of coffee first expanded in the Arab world. The first reliable evidence of coffee drinking appeared in the 15th century, in Yemen in southern Arabia. From there coffee spread to India, then to the rest of Europe, and on to Indonesia and the rest of the Americas.

For centuries afterward, coffee beans became top currency, and in modern times have constituted an important export commodity for several countries. Today, with the love for coffee nearly universal, a day for the great majority of people will not be complete without a cup in hand. Good thing, too, that less frills and drills attend the experience of coffee goodness — especially with Nescafé’s Dolce Gusto, which offers a fresh coffee experience without the hassle of coffee-shop queues.

The wide variety of coffee blends has also turned the modern enjoyment of coffee into a more playful experience, with added flavors like vanilla and even cocoa, all brewed from a capsule.

Caffé Lungo is a boldly flavored stretched espresso with a hint of creamy goodness on top. A classic coffee made from 100-percent-Arabica beans, it’s perfect for strong and goal-oriented folks.

Vanilla Latte Macchiato is perfect for those who like mixing business with pleasure: this frothy milk and aromatic vanilla fused with the richness of espresso offers the best of both worlds.

Cappuccino is espresso beneath a blanket of frothy steamed milk, keeping the coffee warm and cozy to the last drop.

Mocha is the perfect blend for kids at heart, packing a rich, chocolatey taste with the kick of coffee.

Chococino is a rich and creamy hot chocolate that the whole family can enjoy any time of day.

Not too long ago these coffee blends were a hard-earned treat, but with the Nescafé Dolce Gusto, the complete coffee experience is just one press of a button away. This revolutionary machine uses a 15-bar pressure similar to that found in professional coffee makers. It also comes in two sleek designs, namely, the space-friendly Piccolo and the Circolo, whose pleasantly rounded design makes it look like a work of art.

The Nescafé Dolce Gusto is available at S&R Membership Club, and  select supermarkets in Metro Manila like Rustan’s, Robinsons, Landmark, Shopwise, Metro, and all SM Supermarkets and Hypermarts.
