Post date June 27, 2014

The latest coffee machine by Lavazza, the Minù, is the simplest and smallest way to enjoy authentic and creamy Italian espresso.

Ultra compact, it is not only easy to use, but will take up less space in the kitchen; and with its curvy lines and all-Italian design, it will also add a touch of Milano style to your coffee break!

Designed with the everyday coffee lover in mind, the Minù provides the perfect espresso in just seconds, using capsules from the brand’s extensive range. It also features a magnetic mechanism for simple capsule insertion and easy-to-remove, dishwasher safe components.

Minù joins the other machines in the Lavazza A Modo Mio range: Premium Milk, Premium, Espria, Favola Easy and Simpla, as well as the exclusive EspressGo travel espresso system.

Lavazza A Modo Mio Minù retails for $99.99 and is available at Coles or online at Lavazza.

1 Comment on Video: Ever wondered where your Nespresso coffee comes from?

Big companies like Nespresso don’t always get the best press for being ethical or sustainable and the waste associated with capsule coffee has been a talking point for some time. In this new video, you can learn more about where your Nespresso comes from. Did you know 68 percent is from AAA Sustainable Quality Program coffee farms?

Watch the video or read their policies on sustainability and recycling and make up your own mind. I always think it’s good to make informed choices. Personally, I love the convenience of Nespresso and I really need to start recycling my pods. Find your nearest recycling point here.

1 Comment on Chocolate, caramel and vanilla become permanent Nespresso flavours

Great news for those who like their coffee a little sweeter! The three most popular limited edition Nespresso Variations – Vanilla, Dark Chocolate and Caramel – are back and now part of the permanent Nespresso Grand Crus range.

Re-introduced as Vanilio, Ciocattino and Caramelito Variations Grand Crus (of course they needed a fancy new Italian name! What would Mr Clooney say?!), they offer a combination of natural aromas with the smoothness of the Livanto, apparently the Grand Cru with the optimum profile for complementing different flavours.

Variations Grand Crus by Nespresso

Vanilio A balanced harmony between the rich and the velvety aromas of vanilla and the mellow flavour of the Livanto Grand Cru. A blend distinguished by its full flavour, infinitely smooth and silky on the palate.

The capsule machine that makes tea, hot chocolate and cold drinks as well as coffee

Well, this one’s bound to upset the coffee purists and delight the tea and hot chocolate drinkers all at the same time! The Nescafé Dolce Gusto is the first ever machine available in Australia to make 14 different beverages, from hot frothy cappuccinos to chilled peach iced teas. Its multi-beverage capsule system is already hugely popular in more than 50 countries around the world.

It’s a partnership between Nestlé and De’Longhi. The sleek and easy-to-use machine (which kind of looks like a cute baby robot?) serves full-bodied coffee as well as iced coffees and teas with the touch of a button. Its 15-bar pressure pump (similar to the pressure used in cafe coffee machines) helps creates that crema layer.
