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!

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.

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.

Great flavor. Better than most freshly brewed coffee

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.🙂

It's instant. Let's just get that out of the way. It isn't as good as freshly brewed coffee, it's not even close. I don't drink this every day and never will. That said, sometimes you need something quick and easy and portable. I've tried brewing coffee while camping and it just isn't worth it for me. I've traveled and scrambled to find coffee every morning (and early afternoon--I normally have 2 cups a day) and it's a nuisance. I end up drinking terrible hotel K-cup coffee or worse. So there is a place for instant, and this is a pretty good instant coffee that doesn't break the bank. I take this when traveling and it does the job without being nasty like most instants. I find a dose of two sticks in a largish mug (maybe 12 to 14 oz of hot water?) is about right. A few months ago I traveled to England for a few weeks, and brewed filter coffee is really hard to come by. It's all Americanos, and I just don't like the taste of Americanos. I tried all manner of local chains and artisan shops, I tried the golden arches, I tried the mermaid place, and even those American institutions didn't have basic American style filter coffee. With the exception of a nice shop in Cambridge, the best coffee I had in all of England and Scotland was the Mount Hagen instant that I brought with me.

Convenient packaging for on the go and rich flavor.

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.

Con éste café hay que tomar en cuenta que los sobres son para tazas pequeñitas de 6 oz, luego por eso hay tanto comentario de que no tiene sabor. Si va a ser mas grande poner dos sobre, hay que calcular. Se lo regalé a mi novio y me comenta algo que también hay que tomar en cuenta, dice que está muy rico pero que al principio no sabía que pensar porque es un sabor diferente a cualquier café de éste otro lado del mundo (el café es Alemán). Hasta la segunda toma lo comprendió y le gustó. Por otro lado sí creo que es exageradamente caro comparado con el café en mi país (México), solo por el precio le bajo una estrella.

i love this. I am not a coffee drinker and prefer deca coffee. But with Mount Hagen I can take both. I dont get hyper acidic. I researched also about Mount Hagen's processing re: its decaf coffee and found out that their process is healthier - chemical free. hope the company continue to do it for consumers' safety.
