Deliciously layered coffee prepared right at our own homes? At first I wasn’t sure how creating café-style coffee is possible without going to an actual café but when the event host introduced the new Nescafé Red Mug Machine, I realized how easy it is.  I envisioned myself creating wonderful coffee concoctions in the comfort of my kitchen especially after hearing four certified coffee lovers share theirs.

The Nescafe Red Mug Machine

The Nescafé Red Mug Machine was developed in Switzerland by Nestlé coffee machine experts. It boasts of a coffee chamber with a unique cyclone that brings out Nescafé Classic coffee aroma and flavor. It also has a foaming jet technology that creates foam with ease, just like the barista steam jets we see in local coffee shops. This sleek machine can create a foamy Cappuccino, layered Latte, fancy Mocha, velvety Americano and other delicious coffee creations using Nescafé Classic and Nestlé Coffee-Mate in around 2 minutes or less. Anyone can easily #StartCreating exciting coffee recipes at home for any occasion.

Every kitchen will be brightened up with the addition of the Nescafé Red Mug that comes in a glossy Nescafé signature red finish. Besides being compact which makes it suitable for any home type, it provides an element of style to the buffet table or kitchen counter.

Four Coffee Lovers and Their Creations

Nescafé partnered with four coffee lovers who were tasked to develop their own personal coffee creations using the Nescafé Red Mug Machine. Vibrant interior designer Tessa Prieto-Valdes came up with her Christmas Cinnamon Cappuccino to theme her creation with her favorite time of the year. Recently engaged singer and actress Denise Laurel created the Hug-in-a-Mug Latte which mixes cookie butter with the flavor of Nescafé Classic and Nestlé Coffee-Mate. She compares having a cup to getting a warm, fuzzy hug from her fiancé.

Not to be outdone is artist-turned-foodie and restaurateur Bianca King. Her culinary coffee creation, Double Chocolate Mocha, blends the flavor of Nescafé Classic with the creaminess of Nestlé Coffee-Mate and the sweetness of an extra helping of chocolate. Creative marketing wiz Raymond Gutierrez starts his days with coffee but prefers it iced, thus his Vanilla Chilled Coffee creation.

Hug-in-a-Mug Prevails

In the spirit of friendly competition, Denise, Bianca, and Raymond battled it out while Tessa hosted the event. The event attendees were divided into three groups, Team D for Denise, Team B for Bianca, and Team R for Raymond. I was included in Team D, where I together with the other team members prepared our own Hug-in-a-Mug, as led by Denise herself. Come judging time, Hug-in-a-Mug from Team D prevailed.

Like Denise, Bianca, Raymond, and Tessa, we can all start creating our own special coffee moments at home with the Nescafé Red Mug Machine.
