Mount Hagen 25 Count Single Serve Instant Coffee Packets | Organic Medium Roast Arabica Beans | Eco-friendly, Fair-Trade [25 sticks/1.76oz/50g]

Honestly it was a seriously surprisingly good cup of coffee. I would highly recommend them for people on the go. Keep a couple in my purse and car. It's a great caffeine lift, almost espresso good. Not bitter or acidic like some and because of the freez drying it's good to the last drop and you won't find a single ground left, it all rehydrates!

Repeat customer: I'm a coffee snob and had to share the fact that this coffee was such a great surprise in flavor and smoothness, and I also love it's Fair Trade, organic. More please.🙂

Tastes pretty good and dissolves very easily, but I find that one packet just isn't enough in a normal sized mug of coffee. I don't consider myself someone who has to have an extremely strong cup of coffee, but one packet made a weak and watery cup. Two packets was borderline too much — the coffee tasted a bit sour. So the value for the price is decent, if you like weak coffee, but I'd go through 25 packets pretty fast if I had to use two every time.

NYT did a great review of instant coffees, and I share their assessments of this being the best tasting coffee at a very affordable price point. It DOES taste even better/richer with a little more time steeping. The aroma is mesmerizing and a little crema on top just punctuates the experience. We normally grind our coffee beans in a conical burr machine just before making drip or pour-over, but I needed something more single-serve (non-Keurig style) while my partner was away and I recalled some great instants from my time traveling in NZ, so researched some options and gave Mount Hagen a try. Beyond my expectations on the very first cup and quite affordable.

Great flavor. Better than most freshly brewed coffee

If anyone tells you instant coffee tastes *good* they're lying. It's instant coffee. There's only so high it can punch. But this one punches as high as a freeze-dried instant coffee could hope for. It is passable. I don't mind having or serving it. It's equivalent to budget K-Cups in taste. This is the highest praise I can grant instant coffee. Aside from taste, the kick is good, and the packaging looks nice and the little packets are very high quality. I wasn't worried about it looking tacky or breaking/spilling in my travel bags.

Convenient packaging for on the go and rich flavor.

I think this coffee is fine, as described. But not great, I’ve tasted better instant coffee. There’s not a lot of flavor, basic coffee taste. As other reviewers noted it will be weak if you use more than 5 oz water. I’m using it for an add-in to protein shakes, so it should do the trick, but I’m looking for one that has more subtle flavors for an instant cup of hot coffee.
