Advantages: Nice Taste., Good as Coffee.

Disadvantages: Granules take a while to dissolve

Nescafe Decaffeinated isn’t much different to real coffee. I am one of those people, who, if I drink too much caffeine, I get migraines and become dizzy! I will never forget the time I fainted in an Art lesson! There I was sketching away, and boom! Out I went! So, straight to the docs’ to be told shattering news…

“Well, Matt. Its obvious what this is.” The doctor screeched.
“What, doctor?” I asked. Getting over my fall. I am rather melo-dramatic, and a hypochondriac!
“You must cut down on your daily dosage of caffeine!” he said. I felt like fainting all over again. But I was strong and stayed in there!! How could this happen? And to me! Me, who drinks 90 cups a day. Me, who can’t leave the house without a cup of coffee having passed down my gullet.

So, I went later to Kwiks Save for some shopping. Dragging my feet along the floor sulking. I was going to change into one of those tea drinkers – if you are a tea drinker, skip this paragraph, and go onto the next, you may find this offensive! – I’d arrive home and say:
“Put the kettle on, I’m dying for a cuppa!” Aggghh! I couldn’t turn out like that. I ran to the coffee shelf and found Nescafe Decaffeinated! My future…

So, I thought I might as well give it a go, and I was pleasantly surprised with its taste. I honestly couldn’t tell the difference between this and the original coffee. It was as tasty and it was very enjoyable…

The packaging is the same as Nescafe Original. A see-through glass jar, which shows you the granules inside. The granules aren’t like sugar! I have had some coffees, where it’s so smooth, it’s not tasty. I don’t care how lumpy it is, it dissolves and comes out for the better in the end anyway!

The only kind of problem I had with it was very slight, and also is the problem with original Nescafe. It
may sound stupid, but the granules take a while to dissolve – some might say this is because they aren’t teenee! When I stir in the granules, it sometimes takes a while to get a smooth stir. Ever, ever so slight, but must be added!!! (I think I’m getting the hang of this!!)

So, now this is my favourite coffee! It’s easy to make, decaffeinated, and simply enjoyable. So, if you’re at the shops soon, give it a go, it’s not a MUST, but to save on sleep it’s good, innit? The prices, obviously vary from shop to shop, but for a 100g jar, you and buy it for around £2,00! Steep, but worth it for the taste!

I like this coffee. I tried to go decaff all at once and became very dizzy and I'm just a moderate 8 cups a day girl. You must have felt awful! Good review.

Nice review.

I don't mind this and the granules dissolve quicker than Gold Blend...

The real problem is that it is made by Nestle...see below.

Nice review, and I must admit I'd be devastated to have to give up coffee too.

However, happily gave up all Nescafe a long time ago...
