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.

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.
