There is much to be said about the argument for and against capsule coffee, but the one undeniable fact is that the technology is growing in complexity, making it easier to have cafe quality brew in your own kitchen. Nescafé’s is at the forefront of this technological push with its Dolce Gusto range, and the Circolo is the latest in the range and might be the most creatively designed.

The Circolo boasts a plethora of features that would make any barista impressed and slightly jealous. A 15-bar pump system is employed to improve texture, aluminium thermoblock technology creates the steam, an LED screen for selecting water amounts and caffeine dosage while the pods themselves dictate what kind of drink you are pouring. The device also includes different sized trays to accommodate mug sizes. What’s more, the machine can pour a cup o’ Joe in 30 seconds, which is unbeatable.

The Nescafé’s Dolce Gusto Circolo can be purchased online, and could be just the thing you need to overcome your next early start.
