The elite brand powdered "Nescafe" that they have in israel is complete powder and not as good as Nescafe brand nescafe. I have had "Nescafe Frappe" in greece and other countries and I think this is what you are referring to and yes it is yummy. No amount of sugar milk or even heavy cream can help israeli "Nescafe". Yet tons of israelis have a taste for it...

Yeah, instant coffee really can be hit or miss. I'm cool with the Nescafe, although if I had my druthers, I love one from Argentina called Arlistan - mmmmmm it is soooo delicious!

I loved the coffee in argentina. I dont know if this is customary in Argentina but where I was they served me my cappucino with a club soda and it was so refreshing with the strong coffee. I loved it! Almost as much as the Malbec!

I've got to get in on this conversation!!! is this the nescafe the family gave me with milk in it not water???

Rajaa, I would think so. I buy Nescafe at Walmart in the Latino food section - I get it in a huge jar for about $7 and it lasts for a good while. I use two teaspoons and about 10 to 12 ozs of milk - sweeten to your liking - put it in the microwave for 2 and a half minutes and you are golden! It is a nice change of pace in the mornings, as compared to tea or regular coffee. Especially good with toast or pastries. Also, for any of you chefs out there, if you like to make your cakes mochaey or enhance the chocolate flavor, toss in a teaspoon of the instant coffee into your cake mix - delish!

Oh yes! Isn't that hilarious...I loved how coffee and wines always come with club soda on the side. And the cuisine of Argentina is to die for - I would kill for some good medialunas right now (Argentine pastries in the shape of a crescent with a light sweet glaze on top.) <Sigh> When will I be going back???

In Jordan I've seen them use Nescafe like any other Arabian coffee and brew it in the pot and pour it out thick, etc... that's just with water. Ammar has been on this "good coffee" hunt since he got here and has finally said all the coffee is the same-- expired! he's decided all the coffee we have is over 6 months old, and thus expired.

(I'm activating a cellphone right now-- and it's messing with my wireless LOL).

I'm a big fan of this trick. I also use it when I make homemade chocolate frosting and I get rave reviews every time. That coffee flavor is perfect with chocolate

I know - it is soooo yummy. I think I'll make my DH a rocking chocolate cake this weekend - he deserves it!

i've been craving chocolate....but even more, i want caramellos or caramello type stuff...

[sara535 15]

my husband always tries to say he doesnt like chocolate but oddly enough every chocolate thing we have seems to magically disappear. and not always by MY hand.

Julianna let me send you a pound of coffee that will bring back fond memories of your days in Jordan. I have a store near here that grinds and mixes (1/2&1/2) like Jordan. Would be a nice suprise to make for your hubby.

Real coffee...yummy, yummy. I remember growing up in LA and one of my favorite "Arabian" nights, as we used to call them, was when my friends from Lebanon and UAE brought Arabic coffee and a boatload of ME pastries - it was heavenly. I was having some unreal type of sugar/caffeine high after that.

Invest in a siwak (aka miswak) and rinse your mouth periodically throughout the day.
