NESCAFÉ Espresso Concentrate Black, Instant Espresso Coffee Concentrate, Cold Brew Style, Iced Coffee Style Drinks, 10 fl oz

I drink almost exclusively cold brew coffee and rarely have time to brew it myself so have purchased many concentrates, instant powders, and ready to drink varieties at my local grocery stores. Our of all of those, there have only been a couple of the concentrates that I liked, but they didn't seem to be very concentrated and were rather pricey. And then, I found this product and fell in love. I am not an instruction/direction reader so when I made my first cup with this Nescafe concentrate, I filled my solo cup up about 1/4 of the way before adding oatmilk and thought that I was going to choke becauseit was far goo strong. And I like strong coffee. This is TRULY concentrate and so requires an astonishingly small amount to get the perfect cup of cold brew coffee. The taste is great, the price is incredible given the how many cups of coffee can be made from such a small bottle, and it's convenient to store. One other thing that I really appreciate is it's portability. My sister lives in a very small town in a very rural area. There is only one grocery store there and if they have cold brew, it is only one variety of ready to drink. I could bring bigger and bulkier kinds with me but they all require constant refrigeration and I don't usually bring a cooler with me. This little bottle fits neatly in my suitcase (I drive, so I have no idea whether airlines would allow it) because it is shelf-stable until opened, and then once I open it at her house, it takes up only a tiny bit of space in her fridge. Convenience, great taste, excellent value,and portability make it perfect for me.

This stuff is great! Incredibly concentrated and potent! Be careful about mixing too much of it, the caffeine level is very high. For the amount of drinks I made, it was worth the price. Plus the standalone flavor is excellent. Although it doesn't taste as wonderful when warm. Cold brew only.

I have experimented with other more expensive options like Javey, and in my view, this one is superior. You need to use less, but it provides more flavor, making it last longer and costing $12 less than Javey. The flavor is very rich yet smooth, and I love it as a little extra kick to my blended espresso drinks. It's worth every penny, and all the flavors are fantastic. I honestly wish they would create more flavors.

More economical than Starbucks concentrate. I like Starbucks, but it costs more per bottle, only has 5 servings at the recommended 6-oz serving size per 12-oz glass, and is so watered down that the recommended serving size is weak. Really, I only like it straight or on the rocks, so a bottle only gives me about 3 servings. A bottle of Nescafé has 20 servings at the recommended 2-tablespoons per 12-oz glass. That serving ratio is stronger than chugging Starbucks straight out of the bottle. It makes you sit up and bark. If you care, note that it isn't cold water extract. It's very strong espresso. Ingredients include baking soda to extend shelf life and neutralize the acid. Coffee lovers with sensitive taste buds may taste the baking soda. A serving has 2 grams of protein. I don't care about the baking soda flavor, if any. I mix it with a protein drink or chocolate flavoring and use concentrate to get the caffeine without the acid. For a gourmet coffee experience, I don't recommend any brand of liquid concentrate.

I just tried this today, and it is so much better tasting than the powdered instant coffee I was using. I prefer iced coffee, and it is so nice to have a liquid concentrate because I don't have to worry about getting powder to dissolve in cold water. The powder I was using would dissolve, but the taste was either weak or just awful (if I added more to get more caffeine). I mixed 2 tablespoons of this with some non dairy creamer, oat milk, water, and a bit of sweetener (that probably wasn't necessary). Then I added ice. It tastes great. It's not bitter. It has a good, strong coffee flavor. It was easier to mix. This is probably more expensive than the Nescafe powder, but I would be willing to pay it to have decent coffee since I don't use it everyday. It's still inexpensive compared to a lot of other concentrates, and it comes in a small bottle that's easier to store. I will have to try the vanilla next.

I LOVE this — it’s my everyday shortcut to a Dunkin-style latte at home. It blends smoothly (hot or iced) with coffee, cold brew, or espresso and gives that sweet café vibe without being heavy. A little goes a long way (1–2 pumps/spoons) and there’s no weird aftertaste. Bonus: it comes in other flavors, so it’s easy to switch things up — I keep a couple on hand and rotate depending on my mood. Cheaper than the drive-thru, super consistent, and totally crave-worthy. ❤️♥️❤️♥️

Good but not as good as their instant iced coffee powder or the espresso gold powder and doesn't last as long as you need more of this to get your coffee tasting right imo. Don't love that if you get this on your hand at all it stains your skin, I don't even want to know what it would do to clothes. Also the bottle says to shake it before opening and if you do it fizzes over when you open it (I'm guessing because of the baking soda?) I didn't go crazy with it, only shook the bottle for 2-3 seconds but even that was too much. Maybe one of those things you can only gently turn the bottle upside down then upright again to 'shake' it?

is 5 star but not a fan of the taste. just have had better. easy to use. not bad not good.
