 Shipping problem September 8, 2008
Le kat (New York, USA)
The product is good just the shipping was an issue it was shipped with just one bubble wrap on top so when it arrived one bottle was broken. Please send me a replacement.
 taster's choice is far superior (but clasico is still commendable!) September 1, 2008

if you just need to save money and need a good quick cup of coffee, this will be fine. but if you need a GREAT quick cuppa joe, go with the Gourmet Supreme TASTER'S CHOICE. worth the extra little bit of money.
EDIT:
when i reTaste the Clasico this weekend, i might just change the rating (if allowed).
the reviewer, suman, made a disparaging comment about Taster's Choice...hence, my review was reactionary. ah, the power of one's words can bite back! anyways, i hope to be back with a more laudatory review. i like all nescafe products thus far. none are JUNK in my book.
LAST EDIT (i finally retasted the Clasico to truly compare it with TC, side by side)!
ok...Taster's Choice in a 5.3oz jar cost over $8...almost $9.
the Clasico was in a 7 oz. jar and cost right at $5...so there is a big difference in price...and taste.
QUALITY always beats QUANTITY!
i am a BIG nescafe fan. another reviewer obviously took issue with the fact i took issue with their derogatory comment on TC.
anyways, i can still recommend Clasico; if you are on a budget but want a high quality coffee, Clasico is the answer! BUT if you want a little MORE unique taste and have the extra $$$, go for any of the TASTER'S CHOICE (i guess that's the premium u.s. nescafe...).
the Clasico will be great with milk (my only everyday additive) but i plan to make some cold weather mixes with nestle hot cocoa! i think it will make a great base for various coffee 'cocktails' !
sorry that my one star rating can't be changed to what i would update to a strong 2-3 stars. it is recommended. but not above TC. not by a long shot.
thanks suman for the challenge! :)

The best instant coffee in US is here- look no further and waste no time with Taster's Choice/other junk brands. I drink instant coffee at home and doing so for last 10 years. This Nescafe Classico is better than anything you can buy at grocery stores.

I actually conducted an informal POLL of people's opinions of the best instant coffee over on Recipezaar's "Community" chat forum and 8 out of 10 cooks there opted for this one! There were many respondents, 30 or 40, to my poll. I, too, was of that same opinion, having tasted every major instant coffee available. "Taster's Choice" brand was a way-back second place winner. It IS good coffee but it's usually the most expensive brand at the average grocery store.
This is one of the few products which is not only the best in quality, it's also nearly the cheapest. I buy mine at The Family Dollar Store chain -- they always have it. The seven-ounce size fits nicely in one's cabinet and last a pretty good while, (I'm the only coffee drinker in my home, 1-2 cups per day). This is usually the size that I buy.
If you haven't tried instant coffee in awhile, you should give it a go because it has improved 100% over the years. The key is to make sure that your water is actually BOILING as it is poured into a pre-warmed cup, (just run hot tap water over it for a few seconds). Also, experiment with the amount of coffee that you use. I use one "slightly heaping" teaspoon, (which is a very inexact measure), but you will soon determine how strong or weak you like it.
Another tip, treat WATER as an INGREDIENT in any form of cooking! Don't boil plain tap water for your instant coffee -- use pure "spring (bottled) water". Read bottled water labels closely to assure that you're not just buying "purified" water, which usually originates from some polluted river source, (municipal water treatment), and which is a huge bottled water ripoff and a very widespread problem!
If you want to go to the ultimate extreme for excellence and you drink your coffee with cream, then use REAL CREAM. It will keep much longer in your refrigerator these days because the producers are now using a process called "ultra-pasteurization" for most brands. Reach into the very back of the cooler at the grocery store and get a good "sell by" date on your dairy products when you buy them. The best dates are always in the back of the inventory because grocers rotate their stock that way.
For sweetener, I often use "Pure Organic Tupelo Honey" which is twice as good as common clover honey. It can be obtained online from apiaries in the Florida panhandle.
Nescafe is a superior product and a superb bargain and I give it my highest recommendation.
