The pack says "made with espresso", but that's of course nonsense as espresso is a method of making coffee, not a type of coffee bean. What this pack contains is a hint of ground coffee (0.7%). Can it be detected? Well, yes, possibly, there is a slightly more authentic taste of coffee to this than there is in most creamy instant coffees. But the overall flavour is quite sombre and dull, and that's generally not why I want an instant creamy. There's powdered milk in this for Crissakes - it's clearly not a serious coffee. Now, its each to their own, and if people really want to pretend they're having a serious coffee when drinking this mix of instant coffee powder and milk powder and all the other junk they throw in, plus the 0.7% ground coffee, then go ahead, kid yourself. But all I want when I have one of these creamy instants is a bit of harmless fun that doesn't contain as much caffeine as fresh coffee. This ups the caffeine content and lowers the fun, and doesn't taste that great. So, thanks Nescafe, but on the whole, no thanks.
