How to make Nescafe Gold Espresso
Nescafé Gold Espresso is a premium instant coffee product from Nescafé, designed to offer a rich and intense espresso flavor. It typically features a blend of high-quality Arabica and Robusta coffee beans, providing a smooth and balanced taste with a velvety crema.
Ingredients:
- The primary ingredient in Nescafe Gold Espresso is instant coffee powder.
Instructions:
- Preparing a cup of Nescafe Gold Espresso is straightforward and doesn’t require any complex equipment like you would need for traditional espresso. Here’s how you can make it:
- Boil Water: Start by boiling fresh water. For the best taste, use filtered water.
- Measure the Coffee: Add one to two teaspoons (adjust according to taste preference) of Nescafe Gold Espresso instant coffee powder into an espresso cup or small mug.
- Add Hot Water: Pour 50-60ml of the boiled water into the cup with the coffee powder. The exact amount of water can be adjusted depending on how strong or mild you like your espresso.
- Stir: Stir thoroughly until the coffee is completely dissolved and has a smooth texture.
- Serve: Once done, your Nescafe Gold Espresso is ready to enjoy. Add sugar or sweetener if desired.
Tips:
- Water Temperature: Ensure the water is not too hot (ideal is just-off-the-boil, around 90-95°C or 195-205°F) to avoid scalding the coffee, which can alter its taste.
- Customize Your Cup: Feel free to adjust the amount of coffee to your taste preference—more coffee for a stronger cup or less for a milder one.
- Enjoy Crema: To enjoy a richer crema on your espresso, try pouring the hot water from a little height or whisking the coffee quickly after adding water.
- Milk or Froth: If you enjoy a milky espresso, consider adding a splash of warm, frothed milk to create a version of a café-style latte or cappuccino.
- Glassware: Using a pre-warmed espresso cup or mug can help retain your coffee’s warmth and aroma for a longer period.
- Savor the Aroma: Take a moment to enjoy the rich aroma of your Nescafe Gold Espresso before taking your first sip, enhancing the overall tasting experience.
