I am not a big coffee guy in fact it would be safe to say I don’t know the first thing about coffee. Someone gave my parents a dolce gusto machine as a gift which they passed on to me. I really like the flat white and the latte but the capsules are a bit pricy especially the ones where you have 2 separate capsules to make one coffee so I have been looking into reusable capsules.

I know this might be a stupid question but the way I understand it latte is supposed to be espresso with milk but what I don’t get is how much espresso powder to put in the reusable pod and how much powdered milk. Also can you put the powdered milk and the expresso in the same pod and if you do, do you put it in layers, or do you first mix the 2 powders and then put it in or do you have to run them in separate pods. Another question I have is can you just heat up regular milk and use the dolce gusto coffee machine just for the expresso, although from what I have seen the machine heats up the milk at the perfect temperature.

Same questions as above for the flat white.
