NESCAFÉ Gold Espresso Intense, Instant Coffee, 3.5 oz

For a long time I was getting Starbucks every work morning without really considering how much I was actually spending on it every month but I added up all the transactions last month and realized I had spent just around a hundred dollars on Starbucks alone last month and I decided I needed to drastically cut back but didn't want to give up my fun morning coffee drinks so I ordered this instant espresso on a whim hoping it would be even half as satisfying and I'm blown away how close this resembles the blond espresso from Starbucks! I've only tried it using using cold water and it dissolves beautifully if I just give it like five minutes to sit and I have been adding a maple brown sugar oat creamer to it and it tastes almost exactly like the brown sugar shaken espressos I was ordering before and I couldn't be more happy 🥰 I will without a doubt continue rebuying this anytime I run out. It seems to be just as strong as "the real thing" and is an absolute great value imo. So so so so happy I found this stuff!!!

I purchased the intense one not the blonde, and I’m sooooo beyond happy with taking a chance on trying this. It is just as good as the reviews say it is if not better. I am a HUGE coffee person and I love espresso but haven’t wanted to spend a fortune on an espresso machine and the kcup espresso ones I’ve tried that come with the foaming packet have too much sugar so I stopped getting them. I get Starbucks once in a while but honestly can’t afford it on a daily basis. Now I don’t have to get it at all! It’s really that good when I add it to my coffee. My husband was going to pick me up Starbucks yesterday and I said no thanks because I wanted to make a cup at home with this. Hope they never stop making this I’m obsessed. Highly recommend!!

Good instant coffee dupe for Starbucks’ blonde espresso! Unlike dark roasts there’s no bitter coffee twinge or bite to it, it’s so nice and sweet. Only issue is I need to use 4x the serving size to taste the coffee in my latte. Instead of 1 teaspoon (their serving size), I have to use 2 TABLEspoons to taste the coffee with my Fairlife milk, and even then, it tastes more like milk than coffee but still- the flavor is there. If you’re looking for a cheap coffee to replace your Starbucks Brown Sugar Oatmilk shaken espresso, Blonde Vanilla Latte, (or any of their best holiday drinks where they use the blonde espresso) this is it! The taste is light and not aggressive like many coffees- it reminds me of coffee icecream! This is definitely my new morning routine. As someone with ADHD it doesn’t get any easier than this. I don’t mix it with water just put it straight into a warmed up cup of milk with some vanilla syrup from HomeGoods. (Update- iced lattes are now my new thing- just mix the espresso in like an inch of warm water in the cup first and then add your cold liquid, it needs to be in warm/hot water FIRST to mix, if you try mixing it into the cold milk it (like most powders) won’t mix and stays in powder form) - just a tip!) It’s a fraction of the price of my old starbucks drink, amazing value!

I am completely hooked on Nescafé Instant Blonde Espresso—it’s hands down my favorite coffee! Ever since I discovered it, I haven’t made coffee any other way. The smooth, slightly sweet flavor is perfectly balanced with just the right amount of boldness.It dissolves instantly, making it super convenient for busy mornings or quick pick-me-ups throughout the day. I love how it works for both hot lattes and iced espresso drinks—it’s so versatile!If you’re a coffee lover looking for something quick, easy, and delicious, this is the one. I seriously don’t know how I ever lived without it!

I LOVE IT!! Not only good for preparing Hot & Iced Coffees but I also add this Instant Espresso to my Chocolate, Caramel & Vanilla 30G protein shakes 🫨 = Breakfast 🍳 and Coffee ☕️ in an All in One!It’s a very FINE POWDER so it dissolves quickly and easily. I found that regular instant coffee crystals left bitter bits despite how much I shook those 11oz cartons. 😖I use the “Intense” Velvety Crema but it’s also available in a “Blonde” if you prefer something just a little lighter.Now I know there’s so many variations of good coffees but it’s the price point I’m very happy with (especially these days!) Following package directions you’ll get about 50 espressos or Americanos depending on how much water 💧 you prepare it with. $6.99! OR like me, you can subscribe & save and pay around $5.94/jar.

It will definitely do in a pinch but the decaf Nescafé Gold is better. I’ve never said decaf is better in my life.

This has been a super game changer for me and sleepless nights. I don't sleep too well and some most of the time I use decaf (household choice), but Nescafe's espresso instant powder is a life saver. I've used it to wake me up, the scent alone is OMG so enticing.. making iced drinks with this is my absolute favorite especially with drizzled caramel 💓 💗 I am a huge coffee lover so please trust me when I say you NEED this lifesaver in your kitchen coffee section.

I recently tried this instant coffee for the first time (the "intense" version) and now it's in my rotation permanently. Tons of espresso flavor hot or cold, and its powdery form produces a velvety crema as described. For cold coffee, let it sit for a minute to fully dissolve. I often add a splash of white chocolate or sweet cream creamer which makes it taste double delicious. For flavor and price, this is my new favorite instant coffee.
