This is a lower fat coffee drink and I must admit that I, personally, prefer the regular Latte drinks over this one. I am not on my own in this opinion as members of my family, and my friends, all agree that it is less flavourful than the regular latte. This is the only Dolce Gusto drink that has disappointed me (so far).
If you use a latte glass you can obtain a the same delicate 3 layered drink; with a cream coloured base topped with 50 ml of deep brown medium strength coffee under a frothy white umbrella.
If you don't have latte glasses, you can get them directly from Dolce Gusto by, either, saving "pod points" from the boxes and waiting for the special offers to start again, or by purchasing direct.
If you can't wait there are a number available on Amazon, but please check that they are heat proof glass before using them; if they are not heat proof they could shatter when you put the hot liquid in.
If you don't have a latte glass then you will require a cup/mug that can hold at least 220 ml of this tasty coffee.
This is a 3 layer, 2 pod drink. The difference in this drink is that the usual pre-sweetened milk pod has been replaced by a pod containing skimmed milk powered and soya lecithin.
