****Rollin' back the years**** The year is 1930, the radio (or wireless as I assume it was called back then) was blasting out "Pistol Packin' Papa by Jimmie Rodgers (surely everyone knows this classic?), the average house price was £590 (hmmmm.... If only my mortgage was as little as that), frozen foods go on sale to the general public for the first time (the beginning of convenience foods.....A slippery slope me thinks), Neil Armstrong, Sean Connery, Clint Eastwood and Steve McQueen make an appearance to the world (and we all know this led to the best Bond ever) and the depression is starting to get a hold. 1930 was definitely a busy year and ...  Read the complete review

Although I can generally take or leave coffee, I am a bit of an Espresso fan - the strong and rich flavours are quite delicious, and considering it is a beverage traditionally served in such a small measure, how could I possibly get fed up with it? Therefore, I was keen to try Nescafe's 'Espresso', an instant drink which retails at £3.19 for the 100g jar from Tesco. Although Espresso has been available since the start of the 20th Century (Italy's Luigi Bezzera patented the first espresso machine in 1901), the drink was said to have first gained popularity in the UK in the 1950's, as the youth of the country felt more welcome in cafe's than the pubs of the ...  Read the complete review

Nescafe is one of the bestselling brands of instant coffee that is made by Nestle. Beginning 1867 Henri Nestlé started his company Farine Lactee in Vevey. He produced a baby food product developed by him, based on milk and cereals. Nestlé has now grown into a large company. I can say I'm a big coffee drinker and love Espresso. The first thing I do when I'm up in the morning is making coffee and I drink coffee during the whole day. I really like coffee and I'm a bad grump in the morning without it. I actually like the taste of coffee and I'm just not much of a tea person. Especially in the morning I sometimes need an extra shot of energy and love to start the ...  Read the complete review

This strong coffee is made from a special blend of Latin American arabica coffee beans. The beans are full roasted and the colour is deep and dark. The taste is strong and very slightly bitter. You need to be a real coffee drinker to appreciate this taste. This is an instant coffee which is designed to be drunk strong and black. You don't need a lot either. This is not the same as real Italian Espresso coffee, although it seeks to deliver the same taste instantly. The smell is not so strong and tangey and the taste is slightly on the bitter side. If you appreciate a good espresso coffee you will probably be disappointed by this. You ...  Read the complete review

Nescafe Espresso I am a coffee connoisseur, I don’t mind bragging about it either, I love trying out different types especially when I travel abroad, the dark Turkish Coffee is one of my favourites. I bought a jar of the Nescafe Espresso and I was pleasantly surprised. It is a strong dark coffee, slightly bitter taste, but I like that. It should be drunk black; milk in it would spoil the taste I think. It is supposed to be an Italian Espresso coffee but to me it was too strong and bitter for that. Five out of ten if you are wanting the Italian taste but a big nine out of ten if you like strong black coffee. I will ...  Read the complete review
