🍃 The Story Behind the Nescafé

Nescafé was created by Swiss food giant Nestlé in 1938 after eight years of research into how to preserve coffee at scale. The breakthrough was a spray drying process that preserved the flavour compounds while removing the water; today Nescafé is the world's most consumed instant coffee, drunk in over 180 countries.

How Does Nescafé Azera Americano Intense Coffee, 90g Compare to:

🔥 Brewing The Perfect Cup

To unlock the full potential of your Nescafé Azera Americano Intense, specific thermal techniques are required to protect the 5 percent ground coffee portion from scorching. Avoid using boiling water as this can scorch the granules.

The Coffee Barista Brewing Instructions

• Measure: Add 1 to 2 teaspoons (approx 1.8g) to a favourite pre warmed mug.

• Water: Use hot but not boiling water at approximately 80°C. Allow the kettle to rest for 30 seconds after boiling.

• Pour: Add 200ml of water directly over the powder to agitate the micro ground beans.

• Stir: Stir well to help the powder dissolve and activate the signature crema layer.

• Expert Tip: Perform the "Oxygenation Shake" by shaking fresh water in a bottle for 10 seconds before boiling to improve the delivery of the dark roast aromatics.

The Intense Iced Americano Ritual Brewing Guide

• The Prep: Dissolve 2 teaspoons of Intense Azera in a small splash of hot water to create a potent coffee concentrate.

• The Chill: Fill a tall glass with ice and pour the hot concentrate directly over them.

• The Serve: Top with cold water. The dark roast profile ensures a robust iced coffee that remains bold even as the ice melts.

The Azera Flat White Style Brewing Guide

• The Base: Prepare a small, strong concentrate using 2 teaspoons of coffee in only 50ml of hot water.

• The Milk: Heat and froth 100ml of whole milk or a creamy plant based alternative until a dense microfoam forms.

• The Combine: Pour the frothed milk over the coffee. This creates a high intensity, balanced coffee drink that highlights the bold Azera notes.
