Cafe Noir #4 by Marks & Spencer

I am a confessed caffeine lover! I love the adventure of indulging myself to caffeine experience whether it's the cheapest to the most expensive kind I can afford to purchase. 

We got this jar of coffee last December from our Marks & Spencer's shopping. My heart was divided whether to get the coffee grounds or this instant one. Since, I still have some of the grounds I received from a "pasalubong"in Batangas. I decided to get this Cafe Noir #4 freeze-dried French style, dark roasted and full-bodied instant coffee.

The jar is a glass jar with golden brown twist cap.

When you untwist the cap the jar is sealed with gold foil to retain the freshness of the coffee.

For my personal take on the Cafe Noir coffee. Coffee is the first thing I can think of every day I wake up. It is my booster drug to start my day. Good thing I bought this last Christmas and I was fully able to learn and distinguish the taste. This is the photo of my first cup of Cafe Noir, decided not to add any cream or milk to it so I can taste the bitter taste. Sadly one teaspoon was not enough to satisfy the taste I wanted. I added half teaspoon more. I did expect that whoa reaction in me after the first sip, but I did not. It was a plain instant coffee for me, a cheap plain taste. Comparing this to the local instant coffee you can buy in the supermarket which is cheaper. But, since it is an instant coffee that I can take it anytime of the day without much preparation to do, I am enjoying every cup of it. 

Have you ever tried this Cafe Noir coffee? What was your take on it... did you like the taste?

Feature: Super Charcoal Roasted White Coffee

One of the most exciting part of Christmas season was to receive gifts you like most, do you agree with me? 

A bag of sachets full of coffee was one exciting gift we got last Christmas. Super charcoal roasted white coffee (2 in 1 coffee and creamer packs). 

I was able to taste this brand of coffee a couple of months ago and I did like it. That one was the Super coffee from here in the Ph is was on a small pouch pack. This Super coffee is in a bigger pouch pack which means the content was a little more than the local packs from here. 

Super Charcoal White Coffee in 25grams each pack and in this bag it has 15 sachets.

Super Charcoal Roasted White Coffee "Savour the rich and aromatic classic White Coffee with no added sugar, charcoal roasted to perfection."

Manufactured by Super Coffeemix MArketing in Malaysia and imported by Super Coffee Corporation Singapore. 

My verdict for this Super Charcoal Roasted White Coffee...

.... I poured in the whole sachet in a cup filled with boiling water (i like my coffee super hot), it creates a foam while the powder was diluting. The scent of the coffee was not too powerful compared to instant coffee locally branded one (Nescafe). Super coffee 2 in 1 only has coffee and creamer in it, so you need to add sugar according to your liking. But, since I am trying to lessen my sugar intake I did like mine with no sugar. It is frothy and creamy and my liking to a coffee did pass this brand. 

Since it is an imported one, it would be hard to find one in our local supermarket, I am glad was able to try it, I might try to purchase the Super coffee from here. 

I still have a few sachets left at home and still savoring the creamy goodness of Super Coffee. 

'til next.
