NESCAFÉ Gold Instant Espresso Coffee 200g

The NESCAFÉ Gold Instant Espresso Coffee 200g is a premium soluble coffee crafted from 100% hand-picked Arabica beans sourced from renowned global coffee regions. Through a specialised roasting and grinding process, these fine coffee granules are engineered to produce a short, intense cup characterised by a velvety golden-brown crema layer that appears naturally upon brewing.

Product Specifications and Features

• 100% Arabica Blend: Exclusively uses high-altitude Arabica beans, providing a more complex, aromatic, and smoother taste compared to standard Robusta-based instant coffees.
• Velvety Crema Layer: Specifically formulated to create a thick, golden crema when mixed with hot water, mimicking the visual and textural hallmarks of a machine-pulled espresso.
• Intense Flavour Profile: Boasts an intensity rating of 7, delivering the bold, robust notes required for a classic espresso or a strong base for milky coffees.
• Fine Powder Format: The micro-granulated texture ensures instant solubility, allowing for a sediment-free cup that maintains a consistent flavour from the first sip to the last.
• Sustainably Sourced: Part of the NESCAFÉ Plan, utilising 100% responsibly sourced beans that support regenerative agriculture and local coffee-farming communities.
• Premium Glass Jar: Supplied in a 200g signature gold-lidded jar that is fully recyclable and designed to lock in the aroma for long-lasting freshness.

Ideal Use

• Machine-Free Espressos: Perfect for creating a quick, intense black coffee without the cost or counter space required for a traditional espresso machine.
• Café-Style Americanos: Simply add more hot water to a single serving to create a smooth, velvety Americano that retains its rich crema and aromatic depth.
• Iced Coffee Bases: The high intensity makes it an ideal base for iced lattes, as the bold coffee flavour remains prominent even when diluted with milk and ice.
• Gourmet Baking: Dissolve a teaspoon into your tiramisu or chocolate cake batter to add a professional, concentrated coffee essence that enhances cocoa notes.

Safety and Storage Precautions

• Aroma Preservation: Ensure the signature gold lid is tightened securely after every use; air exposure is the primary cause of lost aroma and flavour potency.
• Moisture Protection: Store in a cool, dry pantry away from the kettle; steam and humidity can cause the fine espresso powder to clump and lose its solubility.
• Optimised Water Temperature: For the best crema, use hot water (approx. 80°C) rather than boiling water, which can scorch the delicate Arabica oils and lead to bitterness.
• Contamination Prevention: Always use a completely dry spoon; even a single drop of water introduced into the jar can lead to bacterial growth and spoilage.
