Refining The ‘house-blend’ coffee experience

The desire for coffee can change from day to day and from person to person. Recognising this, NESCAFÉ – the world's largest coffee brand – has teamed up with KRUPS, the world leader in pressure-coffeemakers, to serve up a unique and stylish 15-bar-pressure coffee system that can prepare a selection of different premium coffee drinks as well as a rich hot chocolate. The new NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto machine has been introduced to the local market by NESCAFÉ Malta at an exclusive event held at La Vecchia Dogana in Tal-Pietà.

The NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto system includes everything you need to make coffee drinks using easy-to-use always-fresh capsules. Engineered in the fashion of professional coffeehouse machines, it ensures that every cup is perfect with a foamy froth, rich crema and luxurious flavour. While other single-cup coffee systems offer zero-to-two bars of pressure, NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto sets a new standard by featuring a 15-bar pressure system (equal to coffeehouse machine standards) , and includes the exclusive Thermoblock technology, which heats the water fresh every time, in less than one minute. The patented technology optimizes the extraction pressure for each variety, consistently delivering the best quality and texture every time. Consumers, thus, gain more control over brewing a frothy cappuccino, a velvety latte, or straightforward cup of black coffee, matched to their distinct tastes and preferences. Moreover, a stylish and sleek design ensures the Dolce Gusto machine stands out on any kitchen counter.

NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto capsules provide full-flavour choices made from strictly 100% high quality Arabica beans, offering a range of coffees from a full bodied Espresso Intenso or Espresso Decaf, to a smooth Aroma (a rich long-coffee drink), a multilayered Latte Macchiato, a Frothy Cappuccino and also a fantastic chocolate drink, the Chococino. The special design of the coffee capsules keeps the coffee fresh for one year. Enthusiasts can indulge in whichever variety they fancy at the moment, each cup made to perfection following their own personal preferences and ready within a few seconds. Indeed, using NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto is easy and quick. Simply pop the airtight capsule of choice into the uniquely styled machine, place a favourite glass or mug onto the adjustable tray and then slide the "Custom Control Lever" to fill to the desired coffee strength. Pop in a second capsule containing powdered milk to produce the frothy foam on Capuccino, Latte Macchiato or Chococino. In less than one minute, coffee enthusiasts will enjoy the delicious aroma and gourmet taste of a freshly brewed “cuppa”.

"One of the things that sets us apart from other machines on the market is our desire to create a product that allows customers to experience the highest-quality coffee drinks, something they have come to expect from NESCAFÉ. We're bringing that coffeehouse experience directly to the kitchen,” said a spokesperson for NESCAFÉ Malta.

The NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto machine comes in two styles, Melody II and Circolo, both of which complement great coffee with a unique and attractive design.
