Nescafe.... Review on Nescafe Classic

Pa para paa pa ra ra … everytime I hear this tune from the Nescafe ad I feel like having yet another cup. And even if I don’t hear this tune my day is rather incomplete without several cups of coffee.

I really don’t understand people who can go on without tea or coffee. Whether it really refreshes you or not but it is a great way to begin the day.

More caffine intake can you give you heart trouble. Or sleepless nights. So how much is too much?

Well three cups of coffee had at regular intervals is considered to be alright. For the rest one should try decaffeinated ones. More than the afore mentioned quantity and coffee too becomes an addiction. And like any addiction it has to be rectified before it becomes a serious problem.

But for now let’s just enjoy a cup of coffee.

With the advent of Baristas all over Mumbai one is more than familiar with the varieties of coffees one can have vis-à-vis the home-made Nescafe earlier. For those who want to be inventive and try their own favourite cup of Nescafe (which is the favourite Indian brand) at home here are a few recipes:

Caffe Latte

Add steamed milk to a freshly drawn shot of espresso. Finish with a quarter inch of foamed milk. Pour slowly into the center of the cup. If desired, sprinkle with chocolate or cinnamon.

Caffe Mocha

Start with a long pour of mocha syrup to thoroughly coat the bottom of the cup. Follow with a shot of espresso and then add steamed milk. Crown with a generous scoop of whipped cream and lightly sprinkle with sweet ground cocoa.

Iced Cappuccino

Fill the glass with ice, add steamed milk and pour espresso gently down the side of the glass. Top with whipped cream if desired

Irish Coffee

Preheat the glass with hot water. Dump the water and fill with hot coffee, add three cubes of sugar, and stir. Add a jigger of Irish whiskey, and top with a collar of lightly whipped whipping cream. For best results use a dark roasted coffee.

Cafe Royale

Over a cup of hot black coffee, place a lump of sugar cube on a spoon. Pour an ounce of bourbon through the lump (which in turn runs into the coffee). Light the soaked sugar cube and let it burn out. Stir and serve.

Coffee Frape

Crush coffee cubes and add to individual glasses. Now pour brewed coffee over crushed ice.

Coffee Liqueur

Bring 4 cups water to a boil. Stir in 4 cups sugar. Cook until sugar dissolves. Add 2 ounces good instant coffee. Bring to a simmer, DO NOT BOIL, till dissolved. Put a whole vanilla bean in a gallon jug. Pour in one fifth bourbon and add coffee mixture. Cap and let set for one month.

Frapp Mocha

Take 3 or 4 cups of ice depending on consistency liked with 2 shots of cappuccino (shot glass) and 3 1/2 shots of Hersheys chocolate syrup. Add 1/2 cup of milk. Blend together until ice is liquefied.

Chocolate Orange

Juice from one half of med. sized orange in large cup. Place several squares of semi- to sweet chocolate in cup. Pour dark roast coffee over top. Stir well to melt chocolate. Can also use two shots of espresso and rest of cup dark roast coffee.

And last but not the least

Lazy coffee

Buy a readymade packet of Nescape premixed coffee. Empty packet into cup. Stir. Drink.

Cheers ………
