My dad just recently got a nespresso vertuo plus and me, despite hating coffee before this, immediately went oh look at this shiny new coffee machine let me magically transform myself into a coffee girl from now on. Seriously though, your recommendations and videos are so helpful lol! I'm definitely enjoying coffee way more now! Before I tried coffee drinks multiple times and it always ended up too bitter for me, but I've been trying some of the pods and syrup brands you've recommended and have been loving having an iced latte in the morning now! I love making it at home since I can taste and control everything I'm adding or what type of coffee I'm using too. I've been loving bianco leggero and double espresso dolce/chiaro.

It can be 100 degrees outside and I still would prefer drinking hot coffee. My favorites are always the caramel cookie, vanilla custard pie, orafio, toccanto, Il cafe, and I love making dirty chai tea lattes with la cumplida. The next time I buy I want to try DE dolce.
