Yes, I am 31 and this is my very first espresso, call me crazy but my love for coffee is in the milk! I love milky coffee, which is why I love latte and the cafΓ© au lait that Dolce Gusto do. So when I was sent my espresso bundle from Dolce Gusto I jumped with excitement at trying the new recipe, Ristretto Ardenza.
I returned home from work this evening to a lovely hamper from Nescafe, thank you very much. I have two types of espresso and the Lungo recipe which I am going to try in the morning. The little glass espresso cups and saucers are so cute, I was very excited about trying them. I also have a lovely cupcake, yummy!
Well, what can I say: the espresso was very lovely. I like my coffee sweet, so I added a sugar too. It was not bitter, it did not have a strong after taste which you get with some coffees. It was really subtle and I really enjoyed it. Nothing like what I was expecting. I will be using my espresso pods up quite quickly I think.

Monday, October 27, 2014This is fantastic. Congrats on your first espresso. I still haven’t had one either. I am the exact same as you, I love the milky frothy foaming good stuff. Lattes, cappuccinos etc. These sound great what a great thing to review. I am a huge coffee nut. π Love the photo at the end! π

You should get one of these little machines, there are so many great designs – they take up hardly any room on the counter. My auntie got me mine for my Christmas present, I think it was about Β£50. We use it everyday and the pods are yummy. I think you would like the Cafe au lait too. = thank you for the comment Mrs xx
