  • Surprised at how good an automatic coffee machine can taste!

    I wondered how this little machine could give me a flat white without any milk, I was surprised it didn’t taste like fake creama milk but legitimately tasted like a flat white, and it takes up little counter space, very impressed

  • Small but mighty

    For a small and compact machine, the NESCAFE Dolce Gusto ticks all the boxes and packs a mean punch in the coffee department. It is so easy to use, there is a wide variety of pods available and the machine creates the perfect coffee every time. The price point of the machine is excellent and for the quality of the parts and ease of operation, it is so worth it.

  • Such a superb design and so easy to use!

    We have recently been lucky enough to trial the Nescafé Dolce Gusto Genio S Touch and we are so impressed by it’s ease of use and functions.

    It fits neatly on our bench top and blends in nicely with it’s beautiful sleek and compact design.

    It’s simple for all to use and you get the type of quality coffee you desire at just the touch of a button.

  • My New Bestie!

    I’ve been using my new coffee machine that was sent over for review and I never thought making delicious quality coffee at home can be this easy! The NESCAFÉ® @dolcegustoanz Genio S Touch Automatic Coffee Machine is so handy for a mama like me with a clingy bub. With just a few touch, I get to enjoy coffee how I like it. Also allows me to make my perfect cup of coffee by customising intensity level, temperature and size of cup. It even looks great in my kitchen without taking up much space. This is really so convenient! I usually run out of fresh milk at home and don’t stock up on UHT milk, now I don’t have to stress because Dolce Gusto has white coffee capsules available such as my fave Flat White.

  • The most easy to use coffee machine!!

    I absolutely love this Nescafe Dolce Gusto coffee machine. I’m so thrilled that I received the opportunity to try it out. I was thinking about purchasing this ever machine and I received this one. It’s the easiest coffee machine I’ve ever used. Minimal maintenance, no messy coffee grounds everywhere. I love the variety of capsules available as well. My family loves a classic flat white coffee and they were so thrilled that Nescafe has a flatwhite capsule. I would highly recommend this coffee machine for anyone that looks for a good cup of coffee, an easy to use machine and less clean up. Amazing!!

  • But first, coffee!

    The Nescafé Dulce Gusto is my first hello in the morning. It is incredibly easy to use and makes you a 5 star coffee in less than a minute. The custom technology is my favourite feature- I have my personal settings and my Husband has his. There are capsules for every kind of coffee you could ask for. It’s hard to believe this small, quiet machine can do what an entire coffee shop does and better!

  • My new best friend

    Cafe quality coffee from home, within seconds is exactly what this dolce gusto coffee maker creates! I love it! There are a variety of coffee pods to choose from flavoured coffee to a flat white or black coffee. The pods are very easy to insert into the machine and are mess free. My absolute favourite feature though is the temperature control. I can choose to have my coffee hot, cold or even in the middle and have it warm. I can select the amount of coffee I would like in an easy swipe and each pod has a recommendation of what size to choose for each different flavour. The machine itself is compact, sleek and stylish. It’s a modern addition to my bench top and it doesn’t take up too much room. Since receiving this machine I use it everyday twice a day, I seriously don’t know how I ever made coffee without it! It can be a little noisy but luckily it doesn’t take long to make the coffee so it isn’t really an issue. I would highly recommend this machine to those considering purchasing one.

  • My first ever coffee machine that uses pods

    The Nescafe Dolce Gusto is a pod-based coffee machine that’s designed for beginners like me to make a wide variety of coffee drinks, including macchiatos! One of the things I like about this machine is how compact it is, making it easy to fit on even the smallest kitchen counters.

  • Like it

    I’m so amazed that it makes coffee super tasty and super quick.
    The washing is easy and the whole process needs only 2-3 minutes.
    The setup was a child’s play, so easy.

    I highly recommend this coffee machine for all those wanting a yummy coffee at home .

    The only thing I don’t like is that the injector needs to be cleaned after every coffee.

  • Great little machine

    I’ve been really enjoying my new NESCAFÉ® Dolce Gusto® Genio S Touch Automatic Coffee Machine. We have limited kitchen counter space so I like the sleek design and how compact it is. The machine itself is pretty easy and straightforward to use. The pods tell you exactly what settings you need to use to make the variety of coffees available. The coffee also tastes great and overall I have been very happy with this machine.

  • A simplified way to create nice drinks

    This machine is super easy to use – even for beginners who have not tried Nescafé products before (like my hubby)! Simply pop your preferred coffee capsule in it and you can create a nice cup of drink within seconds. I also like the facts that they offer a wide range of drinks for people with different tastes.:)

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Sandhurst

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board 

Sandhurst article image

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

    Reply

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

    Reply

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.


    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)



      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed
