Soooo 60s...or 50s?

This is a wonderful Nescafe commercial from the USA. It's really fun to watch. I really wonder if an ad like that would catch the audience today?

Remember the Nescafe couple?

If like me you are a more than just a few decades old you may remember "the Nescafe couple". First aired in Britain, this is a series of advertisements for "Nescafe Gold Blend" instant coffee, which involved next door neighbors played by Sharon Maughan and Anthony Head popping round to each other's houses to borrow some coffee.

Nescafé Portugal - where's the Cappuccino?

Encouraged by Joao Esperanca's comment on my post about Nescafé Croatia, telling me they had Nescafé in Portugal, I went to search for it, hoping to find something to write about for this Sunday's review of Nescafé worldwide websites. Besides, Portugal was not yet on my list of Nescafé countries, so I looked forward to adding another country to my list. Maybe I didn't look good enough, but I could only find 4 kinds of Nescafé at Nestlé Portugal. There must be more...or maybe not?

Nescafé New Zealand - Nescafé Paradise...

If you love the Nescafé Cappuccino range, New Zealand will be your Nescafé paradise. No less than 15 different flavors are waiting for you! How could I have missed this when I stayed in New Zealand for a couple of months 4 years ago? Maybe because I thought of New Zealand as tea nation more than a coffee nation. But it was in New Zealand that I tried a Chai Latte in a coffee shop for the first time. Delicious...

Think Green, Think Recycle, Think Nescafe - part 2

This week's featured blogpost about Nescafé is an old acquaintance. Not personally, but a blog I have visited before. It's Cecile Cinco and her recycling talents. I'm really amazed at what she does to her Nescafé sachets. Now I wonder, does she drink all this Nescafé herself, or just collect the sachets from her friends and family? This time she made Nescafé Sachets Turned Into Snake. Actually it's her kids that made it. I find it very commendable that she teaches her kids how to recycle and how to craft with very little. It's so true, you don't have to visit an overpriced craft store to get ideas, you can simply visit Global Recycled Products.

Nescafé 3in1 from Thailand - sweet commercial!

I'm not leaving Monday's review of Nescafé 3in1 from Thailand quite yet, because today I have two commercials for you. Actually it's the same commercial in two versions. The first has a romantic them music to it, French of course, what else, and centers around a beautiful woman teasing two guys in the office into making her some coffee. The second has a simple instrumental theme to it, but still with a hunch of France

Find anything Nescafé on eBay

It's amazing what Nescafé stuff that you can find on eBay if you're a Nescafé addict like me. Yesterday I told you that I found some 3in1 from Thailand. Every now and then I find Nescafé from other countries, but the most advertised item seems to the the glass world mugs. Where do people get those? I like them, but they don't really fit my mug collection. Anyway, I hope to find more items I can present as this site progresses. Meanwhile feel free to browse yourself:   anything Nescafé on eBay

Nescafé 3in1 from Thailand - boost your blood sugar!

Recently I acquired some Nescafé 3in1 from Thailand. I found it on eBay. $23 incl. shipping for 30 sticks, that's 80 cents per mug. Worth it? Not sure, but I have to do something to keep this website rolling. Nescafé 3in1 from Thailand comes in 3 kinds: Mild, Original and Turbo. Interesting names. Mild must have a lot of creamer. No brainer. Original is just a regular mix of coffee, sugar and creamer. And Turbo? Well, after I checked the nutritional content I realized why.

Nescafé USA - the very best coffee?

I don't recall ever trying Nescafé Taster's Choice when I lived in the US many years ago. Folger's was my favorite coffee then. It was before my Nescafé addiction, and coming to think of it, at that time Nescafé Taster's Choice was still labelled just "Taster's Choice" without the added "Nescafé". According to Wikipedia, Nescafé was called by its original name in its U.S. TV ads throughout the '50s and '70s, as well as in store packaging. From the 1950s to the late 1970s, Nescafé enjoyed steady but slow growth in US, and consumer awareness of the Nescafe brand name was high. But this changed in the mid 1980s, when Nestle reformulated the line of Regular and Decaf coffee's, expanding the line to five different kinds and switching to European names. Later, Nestlé USA introduced a new brand called Taster's Choice, which supplanted Nescafé for many years. In 2003, the company reintroduced the Nescafé brand, and the product is now known as Nescafé Taster's Choice. No wonder I never thought of Nescafé when I saw Taster's Choice on the store shelves.

Nescafé Croatia - with a little help from my friends

This week I can add a new and totally undiscovered country to my list: Croatia. Thanks to sherxr, a Singaporean now living in Croatia. She was kind enough to send me the link and although I don't speak a single word Croatian I will try my best to find out about Nescafé in Croatia. Naturally and unfortunately this review will be very brief, but I invite any Croatian reader or speaker to come forward and help me review this site by becoming a guest author in kopidunia.com. So, what did I find?
