NESCAFÉ CLÁSICO Instant Coffee, Dark Roast Coffee, 1 Jar (7 Oz)

As a busy coffee lover, finding a delicious, quick, and affordable alternative to freshly brewed coffee can be a daunting challenge. Recently, I discovered a dark roast instant coffee that not only meets but exceeds these criteria. Its deep and robust flavor, combined with its convenience and affordability, makes it an exceptional choice for those in need of a quick caffeine fix without compromising taste. From the first sip, the quality of this dark roast instant coffee was unmistakable. It offers a rich and full-bodied flavor profile that rivals that of many barista-prepared beverages. The dark roast is beautifully executed, presenting a bold, yet not overly bitter taste, highlighted with subtle notes of chocolate and a hint of caramel. It's a satisfying cup that delights the senses and provides that necessary morning kick or a delightful afternoon pick-me-up. One of the most appealing aspects of this instant coffee is its ease of preparation. Unlike traditional brewing methods that can be time-consuming, this product only requires hot water, making it ideal for those mornings when you're short on time or traveling. The coffee dissolves quickly and completely, without any clumping or residue, which is a common issue with lesser-quality instant coffees. Moreover, this instant coffee is incredibly purse-friendly. It offers excellent value for money, considering its exceptional taste and convenience. The packaging is compact and efficient, making it easy to store in a cupboard or take along on trips. It also features a secure seal that helps maintain the coffee's freshness for each use. Another significant advantage of this instant coffee is its universal appeal. Whether you're a student, a professional with a hectic schedule, or simply someone who appreciates the comfort of quick and tasty coffee at home, this product is suited for all. In conclusion, this dark roast instant coffee is a standout choice for anyone looking for the rich, full-bodied flavor of traditional coffee with the conveniences of an instant formula. It’s affordable, incredibly easy to make, and in my opinion, a must-try for any coffee enthusiast out there. Whether you enjoy your coffee black or with milk and sugar, this product adjusts well to all taste preferences, maintaining its delightful character.

I use to make dalgona coffee. I’ve tried other instant coffees and this is by far my favorite. It doesn’t have the bitter taste others I’ve tried have. The search is over. This is the one.

Nescafé Dark Roast Clasico is the best coffee I’ve made at home instant or otherwise and even beats out the vast majority of coffee beverages I’ve had at coffee shops. The smell when first opened is phenomenal and the first hint that you have a great product. The glass container is a must, preventing metallic or plastic tainting of the flavor. Keep the glass containers and use them for your pantry. Hot: I mix three heaping teaspoons of Nescafé (I like it super strong in the morning) and Turbinado sugar, one of organic cocoa, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and than pour piping hot OVERboiled water and stir for a few minutes. Must be superboiled or everything won’t dissolve. Shake a little milk vigorously in a small glass bottle to make it frothy, add for simple taste or enough to cool if you prefer, and enjoy. Cold/Iced: One teaspoon with a small amount of cold milk, stir for a few minutes until completely dissolved. Add milk to make the cup half full than add three teaspoons of maple syrup, the real stuff, organic if possible. Stir thoroughly. Add more milk to make it three fourths full and stir again. Plop in a few ice cubes and get ready to be blown away. Full disclosure: My wife doesn’t like my hot concoction but she loves the cold/iced beverage.

I started buying instant because I felt that I was often wasting drip coffee by making too much at a time. I was hesitant to try it at first because instant coffee just doesn't sound like its going to be better than brewed. Why would it? The process of brewing coffee just sounds like its going to be better, right? I started trying out a few different ones like Taster's Choice, Fair trade and Folgers. They all seemed to have an unpleasant bitter aftertaste. Surprisingly I found Nescafe Classico and Medaglia D'Oro instant coffees have an excellent flavor with no bad aftertaste. They basically taste no different than how I like my brewed coffee to taste. Medaglia D'Oro however is twice the price of Nescafe Classico. You can't go wrong Nescafe Classico. It tastes really good, less hassle to make than drip plus it costs about 5 cents a cup. It also makes great iced coffee too!

It's good but I liked other brands better. I bought this on sale. $5 for a 7 oz. bottle is a good deal. But compared to other brands, I find that Nescafe Classico has a hint of imitation chocolate flavor and a weird after-taste. But by itself, it's alright, and if you add sugar & milk, it's absolutely fine. I actually prefer Amazon's "Happy Belly" coffee, which has a smoother flavor, and these are instant coffees, so they all lack the aroma you get with a brewed ground coffee. I also enjoyed Starbuck's instant, too.

Good instant

I first had this coffee when I spent two months in Guatemala back in 1988. I had always thought I didn’t like coffee before as it was always so bitter. Nescafé just does it right and made a coffee lover out of me. When I get my first cup of the day, it’s like seeing someone you’ve really missed and getting a welcome hug - so good and satisfying! Kinda silly sounding, but true! The price is great and you can’t beat getting it delivered right to your door! Now I just need to replicate how the cafe’s would have two pitchers, one of steamed milk and one of coffee concentrate. They would pour them both in a blended stream at the same time into a tall glass of heaven from about rim height going up to about 18” above the cup! Kind of like mom used to yell at you for - but they were incredible pros! So cool!! 🥰☕️

I'm a big "black coffee" fan & drink it regularly (translation: if I'm not shaking, I need another cup). I USED to brew it from freshly ground beans or a favorite custom pre-ground coffee, till I discovered this at a local Mexican market (I live in Texas). This is a great, dark-roasted, very strong (mas fuerte) black coffee. DELICIOUS! If you like to drink plain, black coffee, you know that taste matters. This one has it & is one of my favorites. I truly don't understand why people pay so much for coffee pods when they could just drink Clasico. But to each his own; try it, I think you'll love it! UPDATE 3/7/14: Just an FYI: dark roast coffees tend to have LESS caffeine than lighter-roast coffees. According to Nescafe, a typical cup of Clasico contains 57-65 mg of caffeine. UPDATE 3/9/15: Another FYI. APPARENTLY, Nescafe is "updating" Clasico. I truly HOPE this is an experimental "improvement" that they decide to abandon, but I recently bought some Clasico at my local grocery store, opened the jar, & was confronted with something that smells, looks, and tastes like "Taster's Choice." Two Thumbs Down. How can you tell REAL Clasico from "others"? REAL CLASICO dried powder is a little finer than most AND it has a reddish, almost copperlike cast (not deep brown, like other instants). All Clasico I've purchased from Amazon is the REAL DEAL. A+!
