Nescafe Dolce Gusto Review Part 2 (The Flavours)

Hi! I just posted a review of my new Nescafe Dolce Gusto Piccolo coffee machine which I have enjoyed using so far, so here is part 2 with reviews of the flavors I have purchased!

Since there was a sale, I had to buy 10 boxes of Nescafe Dolce Gusto capsules in order to get a free Cherry Red Piccolo coffee machine. Here are the flavors I purchased :


Espresso




Espresso Coffee With Box

Nescafe description: Espresso is our most classic coffee pod.. Whether you serve it up as a brilliant breakfast accompaniment, or after dinner with friends, our Espresso pod coffee is a timeless drink that has a soft, nutty lingering bitterness.



I bought 2 boxes of espresso, with each box having 16 capsules providing 16 servings. The recommended volume stated on the box is 50 ml, although most espressos served in cafes are around 40 ml. 

Rating : ★★★☆


The Espresso has a really nice aroma and was very intense. It perked me up real fast despite being a rather small cup. I see myself buying a lot more boxes so I can kinda experiment with it a little.


Americano 



Americano Coffee With Red Box

Nescafe Description: Our Americano is a straight-up roast and ground coffee, but don’t let that fool you. Its stylishly smooth blend can be enjoyed at any time of the day



I also purchased 2 boxes of Americano. Each box had 16 servings with each serving being around 240 ml. 

Rating : ★★★★


The Americano is so far my favorite flavor amongst the 8 flavors I purchased. Just like the Espresso, it had a really nice aroma and despite the volume, it had an intense flavor too. What I really enjoyed was the aftertaste which was extremely satisfying. Because of its volume, I see myself regularly buying more boxes since it makes a good drink for anything, be it for studying or as a beverage during a meal.



Nesquik 





Nescafe description: The delicious cocoa pleasure of a hot cup of NESQUIK® in one capsule - an irresistible treat for the young and the not-so-young!


I only purchased 1 box of Nesquik and it has 16 servings in a box with each serving being around 150 ml.


The Nesquik is a new flavor and is caffeine-less. It very similar to the Milo (also from Nestle) and enhances calcium in your body. However, it is only sold in Asian countries.


Rating : ★★★☆


I was really surprised when I first drank Nesquik. It tasted very milky with a tinge of chocolate yet is a very light drink. It was not overly sweet and thus does not make you feel thirsty after drinking it. My Grandmother really loved this drink and I feel this drink is suitable for people of all ages. Will definitely purchase more boxes.



Chococino 





Nescafe Description. This isn’t a regular hot chocolate. Chococino has an intense chocolate taste with notes of vanilla, rounded off with a deliciously dense and chocolaty froth.



I only purchased 1 box of Chococino. There are 16 capsules in 1 box, however, it as one serving requires a milk capsule and a chocolate capsule, 1 box only serves 8 servings. Each serving serves 210 ml

Rating : ★★★☆


The Chococino has no caffeine. There is only slightly more milk than the chocolate so you can taste both the chocolate and milk at the same time, making it a very delightful drink to drink. Just like the Nesquik, it is not that sweet making it more enjoyable to drink. I may purchase the Chococino occasionally.


Vanilla Latte Macchiato 


Vanilla Latte Macchiato Next To Yellow Box


Nescafe Description: This uniquely attractive coffee is an upside-down café latte with a little twist. Beautifully smooth with a hint of sweetness, our Latte Macchiato pods turn into a stunning drink that will impress every time.



I only purchased one box. Each box comes with 16 capsules, 8 milk and 8 coffee capsules. Thus one box provides 8 servings with each serving being around 220 ml.

Rating : 

I was the most excited to try this flavor since I love vanilla flavor and it looked so visually appealing. However, it became one of my least flavors. The milk tasted rather artificial, and the coffee taste was overpowered by the taste of the milk. It was so bad that I struggled to finish the drink. I saw many reviews on the Nescafe website and most of the reviewers had the same experience as mine. I probably will not buy any more boxes. 



Green Tea Latte 


Nescafe Description: Discover the indulgent NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® Green Tea Latte, finest quality Japanese green tea topped with a smooth frothy milk foam.


I only purchased one box. Each box comes with 16 capsules, 8 milk and 8 coffee capsules. Thus one box provides 8 servings with each serving being around 190 ml.

Rating : 




Boy am I glad that I did not succumb into temptation to purchase 2 boxes instead of 1. I am not even sure if I can finish one box. The green tea + milk combination did not go well at all. Not only did the green tea taste fake, the smell of the drink was unpleasurable. I could not bring myself to finish even a single cup, and will definitely not purchase more boxes. 

Mocha





Nescafe Description: Discover NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® Mocha, a delicious cocoa beverage with a hint of coffee made with two capsules. An indulgent, creamy drink topped with a generous cocoa foam.

Each box comes with 16 capsules, 8 milk, and 8 chocolate capsules. Thus each box serves 8 servings with each serving being around 220 ml.


Rating : ★★★★


I thoroughly enjoyed each and every sip of  Mocha. While some might say that there is not enough chocolate flavor, I feel like it was perfect. The coffee taste slightly overpowers the chocolate flavor, yet you get a tinge of chocolate flavor explosion in your mouth every few sips you drink. It is not sweet and the amount of milk was just right. It is my second favorite flavor and I will definitely buy more boxes.



Cappuccino




Nescafe Description: Rediscover an Italian icon with NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® Cappuccino. An intense espresso with rich and bold aromas, combined with the smooth taste and creaminess of whole milk froth.


Each box comes with 16 capsules, 8 milk, and 8 coffee capsules. Therefore each box serves 8 servings with each serving being around 240 ml. 


Rating : ★★★☆


The Cappuccino tastes exactly like what the description said. It is very smooth and the milk does not have a weird taste. I really loved this drink since it exceeded my expectations greatly. It would have had 5 stars if the Cappuccino was slightly more intense and less sweet. Will definitely buy it regularly.



So this is my review of all the flavors I purchased. Overall, I am really enjoying the Dolce Gusto capsules with a few exceptions. There are many more flavors that are being sold and I am really excited to try all of them. 


The ranking of my favorite flavors are 

1) Americano 
2)Mocha
3)Cappuccino
4)Chococino
5)Nesquik
6)Americano
