Dolce Gusto Warms My Heart!

First of all, thank you for all of the positive comments on my last post.   I am really excited to get back into blogging once again and hopefully I can keep up with it better.

Back in September, Allison invited me and some other awesome Cleveland bloggers to Greenhouse Tavern for Nescafé's Cleveland Foodie Feed Up to introduce their Dolce Gusto product line.  We also were treated to a demo by Chef Sawyer and enjoyed some of my GHT favorites, including the chicken wing confit.

Yum!
The Dolce Gusto product line offers various single cup coffee machines and a wide variety of capsule flavors.  As a thank you for attending the Foodie Feed Up, I was given the Piccolo machine and two boxes of capsules.  Personally, I love the cappuccino and have made myself my own pumpkin spiced treats this fall.  The single cup option is wonderful for a a little caffeine pick me up when you do not want to make a regular pot of coffee.  Also, with the holiday season, Dolce Gusto machines make great gifts.  Aside from searching the stores and ordering on line, Christmas will come a little early for one lucky Hungry in Cleveland reader!  I was given one Piccolo machine to give away.  The deadline to enter is Sunday at 11:59 p.m.  Winner will be announced Monday, November 28.  There are two ways to enter.

1. Comment on this post telling me your favorite holiday coffee drink.
2. Tweet the following "@HungryInCLE and @DolceGustoUS warm my heart!  I want to win a Piccolo here: http://bit.ly/tT5YCP"

Win me!
Also, please remember I will be running 26.2 miles in Disney World a member of the American Liver Foundation's Liver Life Challenge team!  Please help me achieve one of my two goals!

Until next time...follow your heart, fulfill your hunger!

**Disclaimer: I was invited to attend the Cleveland Foodie Feed Up by Allison in September.  At this event I was given a Piccolo Dolce Gusto machine to take home.  Later, Allison reached out to me to give one away here.**

    During the holidays my Mom used to always make hot chocolate and melt a peppermint candy cane in it. I blame her, because now peppermint hot chocolate is a holiday must-have!

    My favorite holiday drink is the pumpkin spice latte, but I usually drink home-brewed German coffee (bought from Hansa Haus just down the street from the West Side Market - Jacobs Kronung is my first choice, but they are all good) with Coffeemate Peppermint Mocha creamer.

    My favorite x-mas time coffee drink is the Caramel Brulee latte from Starbucks. I'm only an occasional SB drinker, but I do love their holiday coffees!

    my "go to" is pretty much any dark roast non-flavored coffee with just enough cream to make it not look completely black anymore. but if i'm picking coffee drinks, it's gonna be pretty much anything from starbucks like their frappuccino's, pumpkin spice latte, white chocolate mocha, etc... :-)

    It sounds awesome. How do you like the machine so far? I am in the market for something like this for my husband for Christmas? We are both coffee lovers.
