Advantages: Coffee flavoured. Hot, wet, stimulating Disadvantages: Some may find it too 'middling' - either too bitter or not bitter enough
Remember the ‘old days?’ When instant coffee was a powder that looked and tasted of watery sludge? How times have changed.
Now, better instant coffee comes in granular form…and you can get instant coffee in numerous flavours (hazelnut, cappuccino…), with different levels of ‘richness’ (dark and rich, or golden and mellow).

...night!).
I recently purchased Nescafe Original Instant coffee, paying £1.99 for a 100g jar. I don't tend to stick to one brand. I buy whatever I feel like buying at the time. But, more often than not I do end up running back to Nescafe's various brands of coffee.

I very rarely buy the powdered form of coffee. Why? Well, the simple fact is that I prefer the granuales! For some reason, the granuales have more taste, strength and texture to them. I tend to drink my coffee farely weak. Can't stand strong coffee or tea! Just makes me even more thirsty! But, even with the extra milk added, you can still taste the full flavour of the coffee. The coffee beans aren't too strong, ...

...coffee of all time is Nescafe Original Instant Coffee. As someone who has tried a variety of different coffees, I can safely say that nothing beats it for taste and quality (unless, that is, you want to go to France every morning and get your fix there). First of all, it’s instant, so the minute you add it to boiling water it turns to dark, rich, aromatic coffee… no messing around with a coffee brewer – or worse yet, a coffee grinder (my grandma ... ...A 200-g jar of Nescafe Original Instant Coffee usually costs around £3, but it’s worth it if you want a good cup of coffee.

It also comes in smaller jars, although the big jars are obviously more economical if you’re a big coffee drinker like I am.

Out of this amount a large proportion would be of the Nescafe Original type and this happens to be the type that I regularly consume.

Advantages: Rich Tasting, Different sized jars, Disadvantages: Expensive
Nescafé is unbeatable for both flavour & quality. It has been around for donkeys years and while there have been many attempts to copy both its image and quality none have ever really succeeded.
The first thing that drew me to Nescafé was the style and design of the Jar, the new one is a conical shape and very attractive, the branding is very clear and concise and hasn't changed much over the years making it very recognisable!. There's been literally ... ...brands. Trying to invent both custom styles of Jar and copying the branding in an almost identical form.
The most important bit is inside the jar, the granuals are just the right size and not so big that when you've finished your cup you end up with lumps left in the bottom. Upon opening the lid of the jar, there is a foil seal which i usually break with the teaspoon, the moment you break this the fresh smell of aromatic coffee just comes pouring ...

...the United States production of Nescafe was reserved exclusively for the military during World War 2!
