Stir Nescafé Black Roast Coffee into hot water until it dissolves, following the serving directions on the jar. It can be served plain or with milk and sweetener; adding them changes the drink.
Yes, Nescafé Black Roast Coffee contains caffeine. The amount in a cup varies with how much coffee you use and the product formulation, so use the serving information on the package rather than assuming a fixed amount.
Nescafé Black Roast Coffee has a dark-roast, pronounced flavor that can taste more intense and bitter than milder instant coffees. Using less coffee per cup can soften the taste without changing the product.
Yes, Nescafé Black Roast Coffee works well in iced coffee. Dissolve it in a little hot water first, then add cold water or milk and ice; adding it straight to ice can leave granules undissolved.
No, plain Nescafé Black Roast Coffee is unsweetened instant coffee. Sugar, flavored syrup, or sweetened creamer added during preparation will change the sugar content of the finished drink.
Nescafé Black Roast Coffee is designed to have a darker, more intense roast flavor, but a stronger taste does not necessarily mean more caffeine. Caffeine depends on the product and how much coffee goes into the cup.
Yes, the caffeine in Nescafé Black Roast Coffee can make it harder for some people to fall asleep. If you notice this effect, have it earlier in the day or avoid it close to bedtime.
Yes, Nescafé Black Roast Coffee can add coffee flavor to cakes, brownies, frostings, and desserts such as tiramisu. Dissolve the granules in a small amount of liquid first so they mix evenly.
Keep Nescafé Black Roast Coffee tightly closed in a cool, dry place after opening. Moisture can make the granules clump and weaken their aroma, so store the jar away from steam and damp countertops.
Nescafé Black Roast Coffee does not cause weight loss by itself. Drinking it plain avoids the extra sugar and energy that sweeteners or rich creamers add, but it is not a weight-loss treatment.

Nescafé Black Roast Coffee is an instant coffee made to dissolve in hot water, and is intended to be enjoyed plain or customised with milk and sugar. Its dark-roast profile gives it a bold, roasted taste; once mixed, it has the clear, light body typical of black coffee.
It can be prepared quickly at home or at work and enjoyed at breakfast or as a break-time drink. In places where filter coffee is common, it offers a convenient alternative without brewing equipment. Made with water alone, it is unsweetened and contributes very little energy. Pair it with toast or a small sweet, or add extra water for a milder cup.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
