Addiction. Before: Starbucks. Now: Nescafé.

It’s Friday and time for my “this week’s blog post about Nescafé”. I must admit that I was a bit lazy today. This is not some post I dug up from the Internet myself, but it came to me this morning, as a comment on my previous post. And going back to the website mentioned in the comment I found a post written by Tony and Jocelyn, two American expatriates in Qatar. Here they describe the pains of not getting your daily caffeine fix in a country where during the month of Ramadan all Starbucks coffee shops are closed. What do you do? [...]

Why Nes-caf-e sometimes is Nes-crap-e

Did you know that Nescafe really IS made to suit the local palate? That’s why what is your favourite Nescafe blend at home may taste absolutely disgusting when abroad. To me this is strange, because Coca-Cola tastes the same everywhere, doesn’t it? Or maybe not: I remember the Vanilla Coke I tried in the US for the first time in 2001. It was terribly sweet and artificial. Yuk! Some time later I found it in the shops here in Norway too, but to my surprise the sweet taste was much more refined. The same goes for Pepsi Max with Lemon. Disgustingly artificial in the US, but much more balanced here. How come? [...]

How to learn Indonesian...

I owe much of my coffee addiction to kopi Nescafe from Indonesia, but I have a penchant not only for Indonesian Nescafe but also for Indonesian language, since I spend all my holidays there. And the best way to get to know a country is to speak with the people I meet on the street and the only way to do that is by learning the language first. [...]
