Tip 2: No need to boil to brew

The best temperature for NESCAFÉ is 80 ºC not 100 ºC. It makes for better flavour and uses less energy. Did you know boiling a whole kettle three times a day uses approximately 110kWh of electricity a year? By heating water to just 80ºC each time, you could save 22kWh each year, enough to power a 50” LED TV for 1,375 hours! Next time you heat water, take it off the boil just as the bubbles appear. It makes a better cup and helps the environment.

Tip 3: A better tomorrow is in your hands

It might take a small extra step, but recycling can make a difference. Did you know that recycling your glass NESCAFÉ jar saves up to 670kg of CO2e for every ton of recycled glass used*? Not to mention it uses less virgin glass materials. So, when it comes to recycling, a little really can go a long way.
