Nescafe Espresso

I’d never tried an Espresso before I tried this. I suppose I was a bit scared of the ‘short and very strong’ type flavours that surrounds the coffee. I’m someone who likes a creamy coffee, with quite a bit of milk, and I’m a sucker for a cappuccino. But after giving Nescafe Espresso a go, I was pleasantly surprised and will probably be drinking a lot more of Espressos from now on! Nescafe host a wide range of different coffee’s, from their Original to coffees such as Costa Rican and others. Espresso is just one of their ‘Black Jar’ range. The coffee in the black jars are the ‘better’ coffee’s. or ...  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 seeing as it is a beverage traditionally served in such a small measure, how could I possibly get fed up of it? Therefore, I was keen to try Nescafe's 'Espresso', an instant drink which retails at £3.19 for the 100g jar from Tesco. Making a cup of the coffee is a simple process - place a heaped teaspoon of the Espresso into an Espresso cup (roughly half the size of a regular coffee cup), pour on hot (but not boiling hot) water, and stir - it's as easy as that. But how does it taste? Surprisingly for an instant, 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

As an espresso this cuppa comes up a bit short. I am not a coffee snob by any means, but an essential part of the espresso experience does involve a large shiny machine with levers and buttons and steam and strange hissing noises. Pouring boiling water on some powder just doesn't cut it for me. Having said that it really aint too bad a drink. If you look at it as an ultra strong coffee rather than the full on espresso experience then you will not be disappointed. I like my coffee strong and I drink it neat. At weekends I will invest in a bean to treat myself but on work days I just want a quick hit to see me on my way. Espresso hit's the nail ...  Read the complete review
