Nescafé Taster’s Choice Single Packets
I think many would agree we are an on-the-go society… drive-thru this, instant that, grab and go. Admittedly, I am caught up in it all and am one of those people with all the “club” cards stuffed in her wallet. You know, the buy 10 smoothies, iced teas, or bagel packs and get the next one free. With all this instant gratification, you can imagine how I smiled when Crystal Light came out with their Crystal Light on the Go. Water with a (quick) twist!
But, this is A Nice Cuppa. What does Crystal Light on the Go have to do with coffee? Nothing really, except the “on the go” part. While strolling down the aisle in my grocers, in search of my empty coffee can’s replacement, my eye caught Nescafé Taster’s Choice single packets for coffee drinkers on the go, available in regular and “unleaded” (decaffeinated). I drink coffee, yet am no means a connoisseur. I go through my coffee drinking phases and am not very adventurous as I stick to my regular when I run through the drive-thru, “Large coffee, cream only, please.” Therefore, I am not sure hard-core coffee drinkers will share my same opinion Nescafé Taster’s Choice single packets.
For those of you who read this with trepidation and are weary of instant coffee, there’s no need to worry about the quality. It’s 100% coffee, is free of additives or preservatives, is a great source of antioxidants, and is gluten-free. According to the website:
“Instant coffee is prepared in the same way as roast and ground coffee, but with an added step at the end of the process. NESCAFÉ TASTER’S CHOICE is made by first selecting premium blends of coffee beans and roasting them to perfection, the coffee beans are ground and brewed. The resulting brew is a high quality coffee which then gets freeze dried to preserve and fresh lock the rich roast flavor and aroma of NESCAFÉ TASTER’S CHOICE. The benefit is you get to simply add back hot water to brew the coffee fresh in your cup. No machines, no hassle. It’s as simple as that.”
I am currently using Nescafé Taster’s Choice single packets at work. It is easy to toss a couple of packets into my briefcase and microwave a mug of water in the office, cut open the pack, pour, stir, and drink! Whether with cream or not, it tastes…. like coffee! A pleasant flavor, although not as intense as my morning brewed coffee, pleases my palate. For a quickie, Nescafé Taster’s Choice single packets get my vote! I will be keeping a box at my desk for my early mornings and late evenings.
