NESCAFÉ® CLÁSICO™ and NESCAFÉ® TASTER'S CHOICE® and NESCAFÉ GOLD ESPRESSO contain 100% pure instant coffee. We use only the finest quality, respectfully-grown arabica and robusta coffee beans and carefully roast them to capture their full flavor and aroma.

Our NESCAFÉ® TASTER'S CHOICE® Hazelnut Sticks, Dolca® Café de Olla, and NESCAFÉ Flavors are the only products that contain additional ingredients, such as caramelized sugar and flavors.

Our NESCAFÉ® Espresso Concentrates also contain additional ingredients. All four flavors (Black, Sweet Vanilla, Sweet Caramel, Mocha) contain coffee and baking soda, while Sweet Vanilla, Sweet Caramel, and Mocha also have sugar and natural flavor 

Our instant coffee is made with 100% real coffee, just in a different form! It starts as regular coffee beans that are roasted, ground, and brewed into a concentrated liquid. That liquid is then either spray-dried (blasted through hot air to create a fine powder) or freeze-dried (frozen into crystals and dried under vacuum) to produce the granules you scoop into your mug. Because all the water has been removed, the granules dissolve instantly when you add hot or cold liquid back. NESCAFÉ uses both methods: NESCAFÉ® CLÁSICO™  is spray-dried for a bold, full-bodied cup, while NESCAFÉ® TASTER'S CHOICE® is freeze-dried for a lighter, more delicate flavor. Want to go deeper?

Instant coffee was practically made for this. NESCAFÉ instant coffee requires zero equipment: no machine, no filters, no pods, no grinder. All you need is a mug, a spoon, and hot water. In under a minute, you've got a cup ready to go — whether you're in a dorm room, a hotel, a break room, or your own kitchen. And if you're skipping the kettle altogether, just pour some NESCAFÉ® Espresso Concentrate and water or milk over ice and go. It’s one of the easiest ways to enjoy great coffee without any of the setup.

Regular coffee beans are swelled and extracted using a specialized water process to remove the caffeine. After extraction, the decaffeinated beans are dried and roasted like regular caffeinated beans to get a delicious cup of coffee.

NESCAFÉ® TASTER'S CHOICE®, NESCAFÉ® CLÁSICO™, and NESCAFÉ® GOLD use decaffeinated coffee beans to produce our decaf coffee or espresso products.

Coffee is one of the most widely studied beverages in the world. Research has suggested that coffee consumption may be associated with a variety of health and wellness outcomes. According to the National Coffee Association, numerous studies have found associations between coffee drinking and outcomes such as cognitive performance, physical endurance, and certain long-term health measures. However, these studies generally show associations and do not prove that coffee directly causes these outcomes. Individual results may vary, and many factors can influence health. For personalized dietary or health advice, please consult your healthcare provider.

Making iced coffee with NESCAFÉ is super easy. Here are a few ways to do it: 

For a cold-prep cup (no hot water needed): If you have NESCAFÉ® Ice Roast, it dissolves directly into cold water or milk — just stir and add ice. You can also use NESCAFÉ® Espresso Concentrate, which mixes perfectly with water or milk for a quick café-style drink. 

Using classic instant coffee: You can make iced coffee with any NESCAFÉ instant coffee, like NESCAFÉ® CLÁSICO™ or NESCAFÉ® Gold Espresso. Just dissolve your coffee in a small splash of hot water first (about 2 tablespoons), pour it over a glass of ice, and top with cold water or milk.

Whipped coffee (or Dalgona coffee) is very easy to make, and NESCAFÉ instant coffee is ideal for it. Just combine 2 tablespoons of NESCAFÉ instant coffee, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 2 tablespoons of hot water in a bowl. Whisk vigorously (or use an electric hand mixer) for about 2–4 minutes by hand, or just under a minute with a mixer. It should turn thick, fluffy, and golden-brown. Spoon the whipped foam over a glass of iced or warm milk, stir, and enjoy! For a step-by-step visual, check out our full Dalgona coffee recipe or browse our recipes page for more drinks you can make at home.

Making a latte with NESCAFÉ is simple. It just comes down to your coffee base, milk, and optional flavorings. 

For a hot latte: We recommend NESCAFÉ® Gold Espresso. Make the coffee as you normally would and then add steamed or frothed milk, followed by your favorite flavor, like vanilla or caramel. 

For an iced latte: NESCAFÉ® Espresso Concentrate is the easiest option. Simply pour 2 tablespoons directly into cold milk and ice, then mix. Or if you're using NESCAFÉ Ice Roast coffee, simply dissolve 1 tsp of coffee in 6 fl oz of milk, add ice and enjoy! 

Both dairy and plant-based milks work great! Head over to our full latte recipe collection for ideas like caramel and iced vanilla lattes.

It depends on the jar size and how strong you like your coffee. A standard 7 oz jar of NESCAFÉ® CLÁSICO™ makes roughly 85–100 cups, based on the recommended serving of one teaspoon of NESCAFÉ per 6 fl oz of water. If you like a stronger cup, try 1.5 teaspoons per serving — though you'll get fewer cups out of the jar. For cold drinks, a 16.9 fl oz bottle of NESCAFÉ® Espresso Concentrate  makes 16 drinks when using 2 tablespoons of espresso per serving. Either way, instant coffee is one of the most cost-effective ways to enjoy a good cup at home. Head to our where to buy page to find NESCAFÉ near you.
