If you are a lover of drinking chocolate and hot coffee then this could be for you.

To receive a 3-layer effect drink start with the brown “mocha” pod and follow that with the white “creamer” pod and you will be given a milk chocolate base with a dark coffee coloured centre and fawn coloured creamy foam top.

You will need a latte glass to see this effect, if you don’t have a latte glass there are glasses available here on Amazon – Eddingtons Latte Glasses, Set of 2, but please ensure that you have purchased heat proof glasses because if they are not heat resistant they could shatter when you dispense the hot liquid into them.

It is possible to get Latte glasses direct from Dolce Gusto. You can exchange pod points towards glasses, cups, and other accessories, so it is always worth registering your pod points. Either way you will need a drinking vessel which can hold at least 220ml of tasty liquid.

Watching this drink dispense into the latte glass is really interesting (or I was really bored when I was making it). The brown pod dispenses dark liquid with a deep brown foam, but when you add the milk capsule this brown foam becomes a pale fawn colour in front of your eyes.

If you want an extra special drink and you like Bounty then you can add a teaspoon of finely grated coconut cream; this gives you an extra creamy drink with that chocolate and coconut undertone.

Should you prefer something with an alcohol twist, a teaspoon of Malibu Coconut Liqueur can give you the coconut flavour with the lasting warmth of the white rum.

If you just want a drink with a little more richness then a spoonful of whipped cream (or extra thick double cream) placed in the bottom of the glass before dispensing the pods to make the drink creamier.

Should you need even more comfort from your drink then sprinkle a little crushed Cadbury Flake in the bottom of the glass with the cream or coconut, then dispense the drink and sprinkle a little more crushed Flake over the top.

Don’t forget to register your pod points for those extras from Dolce Gusto.

This is the perfect drink for lovers of hot chocolate and coffee. Just the right drink for cold winter days and when you need a little pick-me-up.

There is one warning I must give that applies to this product – because both the mocha pods and the milk pods contain sugar this drink is not suitable for diabetics.

Good, but overhyped, 26 July 2008

By 

Bar Rista –

This review is from: Aerobie AeroPress Coffee Maker (Kitchen & Home)

I got this in an attempt to have nice coffee at work. I can definitely do that, a smooth, aromatic cup, beats the average drip machine. What it doesn’t do is make Espresso. It’s nowhere near it, crema is non-existent, and the brew is not in the same category. So as long as you don’t believe the “makes better espresso than machines that cost 20 times as much” blurb, you get a small, easy to use and easy to clean gadget for a good old plain cup of coffee.
