My day usually starts with a "mum alarm clock"... aka, at least one of my three children sneaking into my bed at around 6am to wake me so their breakfast cafe will open – obviously, I am the cafe.
By 7am, I have hustled all three children to the kitchen bench for breakfast. Once they’ve got some food in their bellies, long enough to keep them quiet, I become my own cafe, putting my NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Genio S Touch Automatic Coffee machine to work for my morning coffee. It is the only thing that gets me out of my morning slump in the mornings and the best part, it is so easy to use.
With a simple touch of the button (yes, quite literally one button), it allows you to personalise the temperature, size and even the intensity of your coffee.
For me personally, my preferred size varies depending on the quality of sleep I got the night before, but I love knowing I have so many options.

My pod of choice for today is the Americano Rich Aroma… mainly because the ten intensity is the only way to brave the next hour and a half. And, I usually make it extra hot because it generally takes an hour and a half to finish it properly between mum duties.
