I hate Nescafe anyway, which doesn’t help but this is just pure slime. It doesn’t taste like coffee, it’s far too sweet and the froth isn’t even frothy. Waking from a gentle slumber this morning or rather yanked awake in the small hours by an annoying alarm, I decided to make myself a nice cup of tea.

After making the darn thing I opened the fridge to find no milk. The little blighters had used the last drop for breakfast without a thought for their poor ailing mother and the milkman wasn’t due for another hour or so.

What to do? I NEED my cup of something in the mornings, cannot possibly function without it and I never keep powdered milk or that UHT gunk. Delving into the darkest recesses of my cupboard I came across a small dusty box. It was in fact a box of Nescafe Cappucino which had been relagated some weeks before. There was nothing else for it, I was going to have to have one.

Now normally I might have just waited, but seeing as I have this wonderful cold I had to drink something, my mouth was feeling as dry as Ghandi’s flip flop and at that point even the dog’s bowl was looking inviting.

As I opened a sachet and tipped it into my mug a sweet almost sickly aroma filled my nostrils and I remembered why I didn’t drink the stuff. I carried on regardless, pouring my boiling water into the mug and stirring the frothy mess around. Then I sat staring at the thing, daring it to stay frothy just this once, it didn’t take me up on the challenge as usual so I ended up with just half a mug.

When I could bear it no longer I took a swig, yak, the stuff is disgusting! I hate Nescafe anyway, which doesn’t help but this is just pure slime. It doesn’t taste like coffee, it’s far too sweet and the froth isn’t even frothy. One mouthful was enough to have me retching and stuffing the box firmly back into the depths of my cupboard.

~~~Ingredients~~~

Sugar, now why doesnt it surprise me that this is the top of the list?

Lactose
Hydrogenated Vegetable oil
Maltrodexin
Milk protein
Salt
Flavouring
Stabilisers (E339, E331)

Calories, 50 per sachet.

Although this product is quite light on calories it’s far too sweet for even the sweetest tooth, well mine, and that’s saying something.

It doesn’t taste like coffee let alone Cappucino and I wouldn’t recommend buying it at all. In fact I have 8 sachets left if you want to try it.

Or if you want you can totally avoid them at all costs, drink tea and wait for the milkman. Where the hell is he anyway?
