Nescafé around the world. Did you know that there are over 200 kinds of Nescafé? Follow me as I try make it around the (Nescafé) world and find out why Nescafé is so different from country to country and what makes the difference...
Looking for blog posts about Nescafe, here's an interesting view on Nescafé: Instant Coffee, anyone? is a post by Chrissy, who apparently got hooked on Nescafe while living in Greece for a while. In her post she promotes the delights of Nescafe served in a...hmmm..."new" way:
When I used to live in Greece, all the coffee houses used NesCafe for all their hot & cold drinks; when made right, these coffees will beat anything Starbucks can put out in a New York minute!
So if you want to test my theory, just pull out your shaker or your hand mixer, use 1-1/4 tsp. of NesCafe in a tall glass with abt. an inch of milk in the bottom [and as much sugar as you need] and blend it until you get a thick, creamy froth. Then slowly pour your cold water [and more milk if you need it] without wrecking the foam and possibly add a few ice cubes.
It's summer, it's hot, and I think I'm gonna try this :-)
Nescafé Fair Trade - is it really possible? Well, I am not about to answer that question in my post this morning, but I am glad to see that fair trade Nescafé coffee has finally found its way to Norway. In fact, it tis so new that the Norwegian label on the back is a simple white sticker put on top of the original label. If you're well-versed in Norwegian you can read more at Nescafé Norway.
A new Nescafe appeared in my local store earlier this year: Nescafe Gold - Blend of the year 2008. IT's just the good old Nescafe Gold in a new packaging, I thought, but when I tasted it it, it was remarkably different from the usual Nescafe Gold. According to the Nescafe Norway website it is indeed a unique blend of Arabica coffee beans from Kenya, Etiopia and Central America, giving it a fruity and fresh taste...Hm, not sure about that, but is it a good Nescafe? Yes, most definitely!
