Here's my reveiw for the Nescafé Memento. A quick note: This package, including samples and coupons, was sent to me by BzzAgent as one of their advertising campaigns. However, this is my own blog and my own opinion on the product.
I rarely use instant coffee. I've always been the type who had to have it properly brewed. One who worshiped her Keurig. I just always counted it among those things you use if you ran out of stuff to brew and couldn't swing by a coffee shop. When I received the BzzAgent e-mail to try Nescafé Memento, I figured I would give it a shot, but I was very skeptical.
Now on the box, there is the typical packaging that you see a lot of times for coffee. A nice hot cup with foam. I was actually surprised that, there was actually foam there! It wasn't as much as you would get from a coffeehouse, but the fact there was any was impressive. According to the box, it uses real nonfat milk that is infused with airy bubbles to give you that really nice frothy goodness. Now the taste... it was amazing. It had just the perfect blend of caramel and was incredibly smooth and creamy. After downing that one pretty fast, I also had some of the Mocha one. That one was also divine, although a little more bitter than I expected. However, I love that bitterness as well. I could see having the Caramel Latte to add sweetness to a bacon and egg breakfast, while Mocha's bitterness would compliment having a breakfast with a sweet pastry. The Cappuccino was also creamy, and sweeter than I expected. All of them did have a slight grittiness to them, but not bad enough to mark them down for.
What else that's impressive besides the taste is that it doesn't just use real coffee, but uses real milk and sugar as well. Plus, it is only 100 calories! Way less than you'd get getting an equivalent at coffeehouses.
Overall, I'm extremely impressed. I think this is a great way to cut down on costs I didn't quite feel like I was at a coffeehouse, but it was pretty darn close, even with me drinking out of a coke glass due to the cups being in the dishwasher! I can't wait until morning to have some again.
