Nescafe Espresso Coffee Concentrate Vanilla 500ml

After shaking the bottle and smelling the inside of the cap, the fragrance is inviting. Smelling the aroma from the glass, it gets more exciting. I tasted it first without the milk and:- initial taste : arabica taste- as I play with it : the initial taste of arabica comes to play with the vanilla flavour and it even has a tinge of sarsaparilla flavour that made me say ‘this is artisan coffee. ’- as I swallow it, then comes the vanilla flavour- the after taste is a combination of sweet vanilla and arabica : amazing. Then I added full cream milk. Fabulous. I do not know what the milk did to the combination but it sure tasted fabulous. I can only drink full cream milk. I do not know what will be the taste if using other milk variety. It being a cold coffee drink makes ... MoreAfter shaking the bottle and smelling the inside of the cap, the fragrance is inviting.

Then I became curious - what happens if I heat it up in microwave. Nope, the combo flavour disappeared. Fabulous cold coffee drink ❤️

I was fortunate that I was asked to do a review on the coffee product. Now, I am so glad that I was asked. Initially, I’ll admit it, I was sceptical about a ESPRESSO sweet Vanilla flavour. (I only drink Nescafé Hold Espresso at home & I’m a three shot small long black chap, when I’m out)!I was pleasantly surprised, it had a strong flavour of coffee & the Vanilla wasn’t cloyingly too sweet. It is incredibly refreshing. The drink actually tasted like espresso coffee!Well done!I’m also going to play around with it & make a baked custard or baked rice custard, with the concentrate as the main flavour…I believe it will work a treat!Very impressed!

Overall I found this to be quite nice. I am not usually one to make sweetened or flavoured coffee however this was a nice treat. It is called "sweet vanilla" so it is it fairly sweet. I personally would tone down the sweetness and allow me to add extra sweetness if i wanted. Perhaps adding a volume marker on the side of the bottle would be helpful in dispensing the suggested amount.

Tried the Nescafé Espresso Coffee Concentrate sweet vanilla today. Not the best day for iced coffee with the temperature sitting at about 15 degrees. Still it was very easy and convenient to make-all you need is milk. I did skip the ice. Flavour is coffee with quite a strong vanilla taste. Not what I would normally have but nice for a change. I noticed it was sweet and as someone who doesn’t have sugar this was a little unpleasant.

As a huge fan of NESCAFÉ and espresso martinis - I'm delighted to report that NESCAFÉ's Espresso Coffee Concentrate Sweet Vanilla is the perfect ingredient for an espresso martini! Pros: no need to add simple syrup as the concentrate contains sugar; concentrate's sweet vanilla flavour enhances the taste of a non-alcoholic espresso martini (as pictured). Cons: none!

I don't usually like flavoured coffee so was apprehensive when I received a bottle to try. I was pleasantly surprised by how nice is was. Not too sweet and the vanilla flavour was not overpowering. I tried it both as a hot coffee and iced drink. My favourite was as a iced coffee. This is the first flavoured coffee I would consider buying.

You may have to experiment a little to find your ideal strength, however you won't be disappointed. Both myself & partner found the recommended does of 50ml to 250ml milk a bit on the strong side. Personally myself am happy at 25ml Concentrate & 250ml Milk WITHOUT Ice. Yet my partner prefers 25ml Concentrate & 250ml Milk WITH Ice, not so much without the Ice. Will definitely be keeping some on hand in the pantry/fridge.

the sweet vanilla espresso concentrate is exactly as they describe. It’s a rich smooth and indulgent drink when hot or cold. I’ve tried it my morning latte to make a vanilla latte and also in an ice cold drink and super happy with the product in both ways, you can enjoy it all year round. I will happily purchase a bottle and even other flavours available. (Hint hint Nescafé a caramel one would be amazing also). Definitely worth a try if you are a coffee lover.

I love how quick and convenient this concentrated coffee! It takes just a minute to make ice coffee, just pour milk, ice cube and add this coffee to your liking (i put 5 tbs for 250ml milk). Tasted just like cafe style ice coffee with hint of vanilla. To make it fancier, add some frothed vanilla cream on top!! However now winter i just mixed the coffee with milk and microwaved it... also taste nice. Even better adding the frothed warm milk.. just like vanilla latte cafe style.

I like my Iced Coffee STRONG ! So the fact I can add as much Nescafe Espresso Concentrate as I wish, gives it the edge over a pre-made purchase. Also, having the concentrate on hand means I can enjoy a nice strong Ice Coffee whenever I want without having to go out and make a purchase. I usually make up a 1 or 2ltr batch at a time for all the fam to enjoy too. Despite it being 'Sweet Vanilla', it is not particularly sweet which is exactly how I like it. Some others seem to be all sugar, no coffee. Would definately recommend!
