Nor is it a whining moan about the revenue from the thick viscous stuff that flows from the North Sea down to London and vanishes quicker than WMD's in the Middle East. No, rather less contentious...possibly, the subject matter of this review is a coffee called Black Gold from those wonderfully altruistic people at Nescafe. Now I'm not going to ...
...of) concerning Nescafe's business practices. If you want to know more about that sort of thing, go and google! Me? I like coffee. But I'm not a coffee snob - it's not as if it's beer, right? Anyway, as long as it's a decent coffee, I don't give a roasted bean who makes it, or where, or when, or how. Or even why. As long as it tastes good, I don't much care. Usually, this means that I buy a ginormous jar of anything that's on offer. Not Mrs P though. ... Read review

Advantages: makes a lovely comforting drink
Disadvantages: over-priced

Then sprinkle with chocolate powder (included in box) then enjoy. Personally ... Read review

Advantages: don't need to use much to make a cup, tastes like ground coffee
Disadvantages: very strong coffee

...this coffee, particularly as the week I had on leave when I was using a different brand at home, I had no headaches.

I don't know the price of this item - I can't find the receipt and don't intend to ever buy this product again. GOOD POINTS I am unable to think of any really ... Read review
