Stir Nescafe Crema into hot water until the granules dissolve. Adjust the amount of water to your preferred strength; the coffee can form a light, crema-like foam on top when prepared.
Yes, Nescafe Crema contains caffeine because it is made from coffee. The amount in your cup varies with how much you use, so people sensitive to caffeine may want to avoid drinking it close to bedtime.
The plain Nescafe Crema is soluble coffee, not a premixed coffee drink with milk or sugar. You can add sweetener or milk yourself, but those ingredients are separate from the plain coffee.
No, Nescafe Crema does not make the same crema as espresso brewed under pressure. It may develop a light, foamy layer, but that is a crema-like top rather than espresso’s characteristic crema.
Nescafe Crema is itself an instant coffee, made to produce a smooth cup with a light foamy layer. It dissolves in water like other soluble coffees; it is not ground coffee or espresso.
Yes, you can make iced coffee with Nescafe Crema. Dissolve it in a small amount of warm water first, then add cold water or milk and ice; this helps prevent undissolved granules.
Yes, Nescafe Crema is processed soluble coffee. Roasted coffee is brewed, then dried into granules that dissolve in water, so it is made differently from freshly ground coffee brewed directly in a cup.
Yes, Nescafe Crema works in coffee-flavoured cakes, frostings, and desserts. Dissolve the granules in a little liquid before mixing them into a recipe so the coffee flavour spreads evenly without gritty bits.
Keep Nescafe Crema tightly closed in a cool, dry place after opening. Use a dry spoon and keep moisture out of the jar to prevent the soluble granules from clumping and losing aroma.
Yes, Nescafe Crema can affect sleep because it contains caffeine. Drinking it later in the day may make it harder to fall asleep, especially if you are sensitive to caffeine.

Nescafe Crema is a soluble instant coffee: add hot water to the granules and they dissolve into a cup of coffee with a light, creamy-looking foam. It’s a convenient option for home, work or travel when you want coffee without brewing equipment.
Its roasted, gently bitter flavour is softened by the smooth texture and thin layer of foam. Drink it black, or add milk and sweetener to taste; instant coffee is also commonly served alongside breakfast or a small snack. Prepared without additions, it is very low in calories and contains caffeine. For a lighter cup, skip the sugar, or use just a splash of milk if you prefer a softer taste.
