Advantages: Great taste and froths like a cappuccino

Disadvantages: Too sweet, far too much packaging

I bought these sachets as i dont have a fridge at work but still want a coffee mid morning. I love cappuccino, well all coffee really. The pack i had is the sweetened version though you can get unsweetened which i would recomend as the pack i currently have are tooooo sweet.

The sackets are rather long and the box seems rather large for only eight sachets. Kenco could easily reduce the packaging size this may also help with cost!!

It cost £1.65 in my local morrisons which is a little expensive for only eight cappuccinos but compared to buying it at the local coffee shop its far cheaper.

So on to the product itself its quite pale and very sweet smelling when you pour it into the mug. Once you pour boiling water on it it fizzles and the froth of the cappunccino forms. It looks like it may over flow but keep filling with water as the froth soon dies down. But stir like mad to avoid dreaded lumps of powder. Yuck! A little froth remains for a good while and there is a sachet of topping to put on top. (although i havent used this yet as its doenst appear to reseal, not ideal in my office but i may try one at home to test)

Taste:

Its actually very good for an instant, strong coffee but with the milky smoothness of a cappunccio. But as formentioned the sweetend version is, in my opinion, too sweet. I normally have one sugar in coffee but to me it tastes like two sugars, which if you have too sugars is great.

Technicals
per serving
76 calories (doesnt state whether this is with or without the chocolate topping!!) (4%RDA)
8.6g sugar (10% RDA)
2.1g fat (3%) RDA
1.8g Saturates (9% RDA)
0.10g Salt (2%RDA)

Over all a very good product although i think the unsweetned version may prove better, taste and calorie wise!!!

Summary: Great product Kenco just could do with a few improvements to make it perfect!
