A cappuccino in an instant

Advantages: It was free
Disadvantages: The froth can be a bit bitter

...You can breathe a sigh of relief everyone, this op is in no way connected with my trip to Barcelona or a challenge op - it's all about an instant cappuccino!! -=Background=- I like freebies. I?m certain many other people on this site do as well, it?s probably why most of you are here the (?free? cash). This being said, I like to try out new products by way of a free sample before I run out and blow my cash on a full jar/packet/box/etc, it just doesn?t make economical sense, especially if it ends up languishing in the back of my cupboard for six months before being thrown away! I put my hand up in the air and admit that the cup of coffee I am now drinking comes from a free sachet that was inside ?She? magazine. How sad am I? -=Packaging=- Little rectangle package that is about 13x6cm big ? just enough for one cup; it...

Cappuccino

Advantages: Instant
Disadvantages: Not a "real" Cappucino

...I have read several reviews on this particular product, and on average, I would say most people feel it should be better. I however disagree, it is not a "pucca" Cappuccino, just a very nice substitute, and as such it is very good. These are available in Cappuccino, Latte, and Decaff, unsweetened is an option too. Basically the drink is a "frothy coffy, and a very nice one too. It tastes nice because the coffee is Nescafe. Price:- I got my last from Somefields, two boxes (20 sachets) for £3. They are available from most shops and you may well find cheaper. Ingredients:- Skimmed milk powder, Hydrogenated vegetable oil, Lactose, Instant coffee (15%) Dried glucose syrup, Stabilisers E340 E452i E331 Milk proteins and salt. These ingredients make it sound a little artificial, as do all lists of this type, but the taste test is...

Frothy Coffee in an Instant

Advantages: Frothy and quite tasty
Disadvantages: A bit watery in taste

...I bought a packet of Douwe Egberts Instant Cappucino ages ago and since then it has been sitting at the back of the cupboard - not because I don't like it, but simply because I tend to drink mostly tea and coffee instead. I like drinking cappucino when out, but it isn't the sort of drink I would have on a regular basis at home. However, upon discovering this half empty packet in the cupboard, I thought it was time to give it a try again to see how good it really is. DOUWE EGBERTS - THE COMPANY Let's start with a bit of background to the company itself. Douwe Egberts is a highly respected name in the world of coffee and has been established here in the UK since 1981. However, the company was first founded in 1753 in the Netherlands by Egbert Douwes and his wife Akke Thysses. They owned a small shop and initially began selling coffee...

Review of Douwe Egberts Instant Cappuccino

Instant Coffin

Advantages: Fairly cheap
Disadvantages: Very poor taste

...Yes, I?m burying my hopes of finding decent coffee in this country. I have every sympathy with Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table in their search for the Holy Grail, because like me they never found what they were after. The mediaevals thought there was intrinsic virtue in the pursuit of the unattainable. I disagree, especially when in this century you leave the armour and horse to history and go plonking round Tesco on a Saturday morning on foot. It looked promising did the new Douwe Egberts Instant Cappuccino. It was on special offer last week, £1.49 for a 200g pack. The usual price is £1.99. It?s supposed to make ?up to 16 cups?. The packaging is attractive, and is hard to distinguish from packs of ground coffee, as it?s the same size, design and the same sorts of colours, mostly browns. There are two varieties...

Leanardo de Cappuccino

Advantages: good value, good flavour
Disadvantages: none

...I am not a big coffee drinker, much prefering a hot chocolate anytime of the day. But when the mood takes me finding one that suits my taste can be a pain. I don't like a to strong flavour nor one that tastes like the coffee doesn't exsist. After spending ages searching a friend of mine suggessted I try NESCAFE CAPPUCCINO. So thats exactly what I did. I have drunk NESCAFE coffee before, but found it very bitter tasting for my liking. I found them on the shelf at my local Tesco store at a price that I found reasonable. £1.89 for a box of 10 sachets. Each sachet contains 12.5g of powder. This consists of Instant coffee, coffee whitener and sugar. There is also an 8g tube of Swiss Chocolate Topping just to add that finishing touch. The box itself gives off a warm glow with the NESCAFE logo in red and white and a very inviting...

Review of Nescafe Cappuccino

It's Cappuccino, Jim, But Not As We Know It!

Advantages: Er...let me check and get back to you.
Disadvantages: It's barely cappuccino, froth too heavy and powdery, it's made by Nestle

...For someone who usually takes their coffee black, I'm surprisingly fond of a decent cappuccino. Indeed, if I'm ever in a coffee shop, I'll always choose that over an Americano and in New York last year, I drank nothing but cappuccinos for three days. But a cappuccino has always been a "special" drink for me. The kind of drink that you only have if you're out somewhere. As an accompaniment to an Italian meal, or something to sit in a cafe drinking, ideally on a summer's day, and ideally while reading a good book. It's best with an intellectual kind of pursuit. The problem is, and always has been, that it's tough to drink a cappuccino at home without fancy cappuccino making equipment. You can't have a decent home made cappuccino with just a kettle and hot water, as instant cappuccinos just aren't up to scratch. But when...

Review of Nescafe Cappuccino

Chocolate uplifting in an instant? Not really!

Advantages: Quick and very easy to make, not overly strong.
Disadvantages: Aftertaste, doesn't really look as good as in picture

...that is spelt right, it sure doesn't look right but who cares. The top of the box where there is a groove under which I slide my finger to open informs me that Mocha 'makes a rich, deliciously chocolately coffee. Well I hope so! So here goes. The individual sachet is a paper sachet with picture instructions, the best before date with was 11 months away and on the front, lots of different languages showing Al Cacao Café Viennois Mocha Café Viennes Wiener Melange Cafe de Viena *****The Cappuccino**** Great at last I hear you say. The contents of the sachet, approximately one tablespoon, look like a mix of Marvel, very instant ground coffee and very finely grated bits of chocolate. It doesn't smell too much of coffee but it is there. The first smell I noticed was of chocolate which is great for me but not if you are...

Coppa Cuppa Cappuccino

Advantages: Best of a poor lot
Disadvantages: Still not brilliant

...I love good coffee. It?s one of the most evocative smells I know. One whiff of roasting coffee and a Gauloise and you?re back in France; coffee and fresh baking is Vienna; coffee and churros is Spain. But as I?ve said elsewhere, trying to find decent coffee at a reasonable price in the UK is not easy. To use at home I turned to Tesco Cappuccino instant, simply because it?s the best I?ve found. That?s really a shameful admission for a coffee lover. I?ve bought beans, freshly ground coffee, various coffee makers, followed recipes, asked people abroad for tips, but I still can?t produce a decent cup, a drink which tastes remotely like the wonderful stuff I?ve swigged by the gallon all over Europe. Neither can my friends or most of the restaurants in Britain. Is it our water ? Don?t we use enough coffee ? Is it left to perc too long...

Have a break have a Cappuccino.

Advantages: Cheap and cheerful, Wafer is quite nice
Disadvantages: Synthetic tasting

...Nestle Kit Kat biscuits have been around for ever. Well that is what it seems like to me. I can remember them in the 1950's, I think, so that is forever as far as I am concerned. It is worth mentioning here though that they used to be made by Rowntrees of York, before that company's sad decline into oblivion. Their advertising has always centred around have a break have a Kit Kat but unfortunately they have just become a little boring. I suppose the wealth of snack foods available these days has not helped. So, in an attempt to recapture a dwindling sales market, I presume, we have started to see many different varieties of KIT Kat going on sale. There are now mint, orange and white chocolate varieties. A couple of weeks ago I came across Kit Kat Cappuccino on special and decided to give them a try. A multi-pack of ten two finger bars...
