What is Nescafe half sugar?
Nescafe half sugar is a sweetened instant coffee mix: soluble coffee and sugar are combined so the drink can be made by stirring it into hot water. It has less sugar than a fully sweetened version, but it is not unsweetened black coffee.
It is a convenient cup for breakfast or a break, whether you drink it at home, at work or while travelling. The flavour is coffee-forward with a gentle sweetness, and the texture is light when made without milk. Its nutritional profile reflects the added sugar: carbohydrates make up much of the mix, at 55 g per 100 g. It suits people who like a sweet instant coffee but prefer less sweetness; using more hot water makes the cup milder.
