NESCAFÉ Espresso Concentrate, Instant Espresso Iced Coffee, Black, 1 Bottle (10 Fl Oz)

So I'm a newbie to making iced carmael macchiatos and other iced coffee drinks, as I'm partial to the ones at Starbucks (I know, I know, don't judge me). This makes it pretty much foolproof....speaking as someone who originally tried it with what she thought was instant ground expresso (it wasn't). Whooops. All you need is 2-4 tablespoons to measure out the expresso, and just add your other ingrediants...no dissolving with water needed. It's not overly strong, and can be balanced out with other flavors, making the drink your own, and thus saving money throughout the week when that craving hits.

I learned about coffee concentrate on online commercials for the much more expensive brand. I wanted to try the expensive brand that comes in so many wonderful flavors, but I just can't afford it. I was happy to find this brand at such an low price. I make wonderful iced coffee with it every single afternoon, adding milk, water and sugar free mocha syrup. I'm happy I found this product and added it to my monthly standard order list for Amazon.

I recently ordered the Starbucks Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate; this was the first time I've ever tried coffee concentrate and absolutely loved it! I decided to further explore this category of product and ordered the Nespresso Vanilla Espresso Concentrate.Especially when compared to the Starbucks product, I was very disappointed. The flavor was bitter and just off; also despite having 60 calories per serving (compared to Starbucks 15 calories) there was no noticeable sweetness at all. I normally like espresso but this missed the mark for me.It's also worth mentioning the directions on the package differ from from what's currently shown on the Amazon listing. The package recommended 2 tablespoons to make 12 ounces while the listing said the same amount made 6 ounces. 12 ounces of espresso is a very large serving but I wouldn't really call this espresso - it's just a strong caffeinated coffee like beverage.This is a little cheaper per serving than the aforementioned Starbucks brand, so there is that to consider and is the reason I left the rating at four stars instead of three (though it was very close to being three stars). This is all just my opinion and yours certainly may vary; I think maybe what I was looking for was more of a cold coffee drink than Espresso, so I cut the product some slack.It's okay, but I won't be ordering it again when better options exist!

I have tried this one and the Javvy concentrated coffee and I must say this one’s way better than Javvy! concentrated coffee. I have tried every last one of their flavors and they really were not worth it. I just felt like the flavor was decent compared to most coffee. This one though is way better. I recently got fed up with Javvy when they sent me one and it was cracked so it leaked everywhere so I decided to try this one out and I’m glad I did cheaper and tastes better. I can’t wait to try the vanilla one. The plain coffee one gives you a nice smoky chocolatey flavor with the coffee taste as well. That’s how I can describe it. I make iced coffees and I use a couple of pumps of my vanilla syrup with some caramel drizzle and a little bit of half-and-half and it comes out delicious will not be going back to any other coffee.

I don’t usually do reviews, but this is great stuff. I’ve been drinking it for about a month now and I’ve ordered about eight of them to have a stock pile. I’ve also given away a couple as other people have tried it now and they love it too. The quality is great and the ingredients are only coffee and water and baking soda.

Very convenient and tastes ok. There is baking soda in it, which I saw some complaints about, but I don’t notice it in the taste and I’m sure it probably makes the coffee less acidic. I would buy it again.

I use a little more than recommended but, seriously, who drinks 6 oz of coffee anyway? Instead of adding the concentrate to milk I like to mix it with hot water like instant coffee granules and then add the extras. Rich without being too bitter. Great for making coffee cubes to keep my drinks cool without diluting them!

The ingredients list under “Important Information” states that the ingredients are “100% Aribica Coffee.” That’s what it also shows in big letters on the picture of the bottle. I tried this and it was beyond horrible. I then looked at the ingredients on the bottle and it reads, “Coffee (Water, Coffee), Baking Soda”. Yes, BAKING SODA. No wonder it tastes so awful. And there must be a lot of baking soda in there because according to the label there are 30 calories per serving, 5 grams of carbohydrates and 100 mg of sodium. Yuck! Don’t buy this unless you like baking soda in your coffee!
