Nescafé Gold Blend Instant Coffee 200g (Packaging may vary)

Product Information

Sainsbury’s Americano microground went down reasonably well too, so there’s no need to rule out slightly cheaper own-label options. Don’t pour freshly boiled water straight onto your coffee, as it can lead to a harsh, bitter flavour. If you’ve ever bought ground coffee or whole coffee beans, you may have been stumped by the varieties of beans and grounds on offer including Arabica and Robusta and including terms like “peaberry” beans. They typically also list the origin and sometimes even the specific farm where the beans came from. This is not typical with instant coffee.

So, where do you start if you're looking to branch out? To help you make sense of the supermarket coffee aisle, we've put together a jargon-busting guide that explains what you can expect for your money, plus some tips on tasty options to look out for. Semi-skimmed cow’s milk worked better with coffee than plant-based milks, adding smoothness without swamping the character of the coffee. Of the plant-based milks, oat went down best. It is worth noting that the decaffeinating process does remove caffeine and it is caffeine that gives coffee some of its bitter flavour and the flavour strength. As such, a lot of decaffeinated coffee can taste mild and somewhat watery when compared to a fully caffeinated alternative. Go ahead and enjoy the velvety texture and smooth taste of Nescafe Gold Blend coffee, giving you the rich coffee experience you know and love. Coffee brands don't have a standardised system for rating strength, but understanding typical types and terms should help you navigate the aisles successfully.

Instant coffee is convenient and easy to make with the most difficult aspect being the preparation of the very hot, but not boiling, water. Follow these steps to make a cup of instant coffee: Most instant coffee comes in the form of granules. The smaller the granule, the more easily and completely it dissolves in water. Granules require less grinding down during the coffee making process and this means less cost for the producer. It may not have the loftiest reputation among coffee snobs, but good old instant has come a long way. There are now a wide range of options to choose from, including rich everyday blends, single-origin, premium instant and espresso-style options.

A medium roast will typically be lighter and smoother-tasting compared to a heavier 'continental' or Italian roast. High roasts should not be burned, although you'll notice some high roast beans do look darker in colour. This is the essential oils escaping to the surface of the bean.
