Well as any coffee lover will tell you, all coffees taste different. I was expecting a watery black coffee, but instead, I got a quite creamy coffee, considering I used no milk.

I have 1 sugar with mine, which takes the bitterness of the coffee away, as without it really is a bit to bitter for the likes of myself.
I’d never tried an Espresso before I tried this. I suppose I was a bit scared of the ‘short and very strong’ type flavours that surrounds the coffee. I’m someone who likes a creamy coffee, with quite a bit of milk, and I’m a sucker for a cappuccino. But after giving Nescafe Espresso a go, I was pleasantly surprised and will probably be drinking a lot more of Espressos from now on!

The coffee in the black jars are the ‘better’ coffee’s. or another way to put it, the more specialist coffees which are drunk less than the normal instant coffees.

On tasting, you will be welcomed with the strong coffee smell, which really does invite you into the coffee itself. The you will be taken in by the very nice, strong coffee flavour, which does not taste cheap in any way whatsoever. After that, you will be hit by how strong the coffee really is. Once devoured, the coffee taste stays in your mouth, making you want another sip. That’s the best way I can describe it really.
Making the coffee is even easier than making a normal coffee with milk, afterall, you don’t have to use any milk, well you shouldn’t anyway, as that really does go against the point of the coffee. It is mean to be drunk black. You simply take a heaped teaspoon, or however much you like of the fine coffee powder and place it into an espresso cup. If like me your common and don’t have such things, just take a mug and put it in that, and fill the mug half way up, or less if you like. It will give the same effect, just not in the right china so to speak! Add to that coffee powder hot, but not boiling water and stir. After that you can add a sugar or two if you like, depending on your tastes, though I recommend it as it really does take your gums away otherwise and give you an ‘Esther’ look. (You’ll get that if you can picture that mature Esther lady who has her own chat show!!)
Once you have done the preparation bit, you will be presented with a very black coffee with a froth on top, which does look pretty inviting to the hardened coffee addicts out there. It’s so black it leaves nice stains on your mug, but don’t worry, they don’t last long when they hit the sink!
Overall, it’s a good coffee, though you really do have to like your coffee to begin with to enjoy this. For those of you who like a good load of milk in your coffee, don’t shy away from this, it really is quite nice and I never thought I would like it, but now do, and would probably go out and buy my own jar (yes, I have been drinking someone elses!).
It retails for around £2.70 for a 100g jar, which does sound expensive, but is quite a nice treat for yourself, and you would probably be able to get around 30 cups of the stuff out of the jar. Put it that way and it don’t sound to bad, especially when you think you will pay anything from £1.30 upwards in a café for it!
Excellent for those of us who find it extremely hard to get up in the morning, even after 3 coffees and 2 fags!
Go ahead and treat yourself. Stay away if your one of those woosie tea people! (Don’t start on me you tea drinkers, I drink tea too!!)
Advantages: Instant, no messy machines Disadvantages: Not to be drunk near bed time
...The Brazilian government approached Nestle, Nescafe producers, and asked that they produce a quality coffee from their beans. Some 7 years later Nescafe was born with the help of Max Morgenthaler and his crew. On 1st of April 1938 it was introduced in Switzerland and was the staple beverage of US armed forces during World War ll. From here its popularity spiraled and it has never looked back. Worldwide they reckon an average 3,000 cups of Nescafe ... ...Ground 80/90mg

Nescafe Espresso: Comes in an hour glass figure shaped dark brown glass jar. The jar contains 100g of instant espresso powder. When I opened the jar the coffee smell is quite intense. The label does state that it is 'Short, Dark and Intense', it also carries instructions for making the perfect cup of espresso and advices making with 'hot' not 'boiling water'. Although the instructions do say one heaped teaspoon ...

Quick review of Nescafe Espresso Coffee
This is a really quality product and I am hooked!
I was previously a lifetime fan of Nescafe instant coffee and always came back to it after trying other brands, but Instant Espresso is even better. It is smooth and rich and I also shake a little powder on the top instead of chocolate. It is not too strong, although I do use 1.5 teasoons of coffee to make it fairly strong.
The only downside is that it is not cheap and the 100g jar does not go very far.
Hence I was looking to see if there were special offers on internet!
Also, not all supermarkets stock it (I don't go into Somerfield much now as they refused to stock it and it is often on my list!) ...

Advantages: It actually tastes like 'REAL COFFEE' and not Bovril Disadvantages: It is fairly expensive at almost £3.00 per jar.
...product. I have experienced Nescafe instant coffees before and found them mostly to taste of Oxo or Bovril. I do drink black coffee generally, and have tried various espresso brands whilst on holiday in Spain - for some strange reason theirs are always better than ours even though they are made by the same companies. I understand that different formulas are used for different countries though. So where did Nestle run away with the idea that we Brits ...

Advantages: Powerful, lovely flavour, very good caffeine hit Disadvantages: Maybe too strong for coffee softies
If you're anything like me, the term 'decaffeinated coffee' is sacrilegious, not to mention oxymoronic. It's like the idea of a vegetarian vampire - pointless. So if you like your coffee with a fair bit of oomph, I thoroughly recommend this blend. it is part of Sainsbury's taste the difference range, but at £2.25 per packet, it's good value.
On their own scoring system Sainsbury's give this five out of five in terms of strength. They're not kidding. Even someone like myself who has worked their way up from weedy Nescafe to proper double espressos would initially be (pleasantly) surprised by the kick this coffee gives you. It's ideal for shift workers who need a good dose of caffeine before facing work! (And I should know...)
The flavour of this coffee is outstanding; powerful without being bitter and in some way unlike ...
Advantages: don't need to use much to make a cup, tastes like ground coffee Disadvantages: very strong coffee
NAME OF DRINK
Nescafe Collection Alta Rica Decaffeinated coffee.
TASTE
This coffee reminded me of ground coffee not instant - almost espresso style.
Regardless of how much milk was used, this coffee seemed to be very strong, unlike most decaffeinated instant coffees, and seemed very strong, bitter, or acrid tasting. It left an aftertaste in my mouth if a colleague made me my usual strong coffee.
Despite it being a decaffeinated coffee I got more frequent headaches when using this brand, which I attributed to this coffee, particularly as the week I had on leave when I was using a different brand at home, I had no headaches.
INGREDIENTS (MAIN ONLY)
I purchased the 100g bottle, which states that it is decaffeinated using pure water and contains premium freeze dried decaffeinated soluble coffee only. I don't know the price ...
Advantages: It's good for you Disadvantages: It has a high fat content.
whiff of cream or was I imagining it, I'm not quite sure, I think I was smelling too hard.
The taste is good, it doesn't taste as thick as it looks and the description on the bottle led me to believe it was going to feel like drinking a very creamy rich milk when in actual fact it doesn't taste much different from normal full fat milk. I expected it to taste much creamier in my mouth than it did and the viscosity was again not any different to the normal milk range. I did experience a rich creamy aftertaste, this was actually a little too much of an aftertaste for me personally but the tang was not unpleasant.
I then gave this product the ultimate test as far as I am concerned - in my coffee; I made a cup of instant granulated Nescafe in my espresso cup as I normally would in the afternoon, therefore knowing my taste-buds would be able ...
