How much coffee do you use for instant coffee?
We’d recommend 1 teaspoon (3 grams) of NESCAFÉ instant coffee, but you might prefer it a different level of intensity. An easy way to find your perfect flavour is to try using different amounts of water in your NESCAFÉ coffee. More water makes for a less intense brew, while less water means your coffee will be bolder, darker, and richer.
How to personalise your cup of instant coffee
You can add your favourite sweetener – whether it’s sugar, or a flavoured syrup. Milk will also help to cut the intensity and boldness of the coffee. It’s all about finding your personal taste, so experiment with what you like to find your flavour. Flavours that work particularly well with NESCAFÉ coffee are chocolate, hazelnut, and caramel. You can easily find your favourite flavoured syrup online, and there are many recipes for making things like caramel sauce. You can even do something as simple as sprinkling some cinnamon, nutmeg or chocolate powder on top of your coffee for a hint of spice or sweetness.
How do you make coffee more creamy?
Making your favourite NESCAFÉ creamier and smoother is as simple as adding milk, creamer, or milk powder - even butter! Yes, you can add a spoon of butter to your coffee for a rich and creamy coffee experience, or heavy cream for a luxuriously creamy, smooth drink. If your diet doesn't include dairy, you can use some coconut oil as a dairy alternative. Whichever way you choose, try blending the ingredients together for a few seconds before you drink it, to get a smooth, creamy coffee consistency.
