The coffee comes forward, the finish turns dry, and you can still stir sugar in yourself.\nLast reviewed by the teas.co.uk team in September 2026.\nSweetness is a one-way decision in a sachet: you can add sugar to an unsweetened mix, but you can never take it out of a sweetened one. That is the whole case for this box, and it opens the foaming cappuccino format to everyone who takes coffee without sugar.\nWhat 'Unsweetened Taste' means \nNescaf\u00e9 chose the name, and it refers to the mix: nothing sweet has been added to the powder. That is not quite the same as no sugar at all, because milk brings naturally occurring sugars of its own, so for exact figures, check the nutrition panel on the box you buy. The published allergen statement says it contains milk.\nEach box holds seven sachets of 14.2g, 99.4g in all, and each sachet makes one mug with hot water alone. Because the milk travels in powdered form, no fridge is involved, and the box can live wherever there is a kettle. Nothing about the format changes compared with the sweetened sachet; only the balance in the cup does.\nHow the cup tastes with the sugar gone \nRemove the sweetening and the coffee moves to the front instead of hiding under the milk. The milk tastes like milk rather than like confectionery, and the finish turns dry where the sweetened sachet leaves it sticky. There is a touch more roasted bitterness, since no sugar masks it, but it is still gentle next to any black instant coffee.\nThe aroma is louder too: with no sugar rounding the edges, the mug smells more of coffee and less of a vending-machine drink. The head of foam survives the change intact. What it is not is a big cup; this is a mild coffee in a milk coat, not an espresso, and it should be judged on those terms.\nSweeten it yourself, or pick a sister box \nIf you want some sweetness after all, stir a spoonful of sugar into the paste before adding the rest of the water and you are most of the way back to the standard Nescaf\u00e9 Cappuccino. That flexibility is the argument for keeping this box rather than the sweetened one in a shared office, where not everyone takes sugar.\nFor evenings, there is Cappuccino Decaf Unsweetened Taste, the decaffeinated counterpart. If you take sugar anyway, the standard seven- or twelve-sachet Cappuccino boxes are the ones to buy. And if intensity is what you are after, a jar of instant with your own milk, such as one of the Azera range, will do more for you than any sachet.\nThe packs we stock \n\nNescafe Cappuccino Unsweetened Taste Instant Coffee Sachets, 7 Sachets 99.4g (barcode 8445291746060)\n\nWhat the label says \nThe published ingredient list for Nescafe Cappuccino Unsweetened Taste Instant Coffee Sachets, 7 Sachets 99.4g (barcode 8445291746060) says it contains milk.

No sweetening is added to the mix. The milk still carries its own natural sugars, so check the nutrition panel for figures.\nCan I add sugar to an unsweetened cappuccino sachet? Yes. Stir it in at the paste stage and the drink tastes close to the sweetened version.\nIs it stronger than the regular Nescaf\u00e9 Cappuccino? The coffee is more noticeable and a little more bitter, but it is still a mild drink rather than an espresso.\nDoes the foam change without the sugar? No. The head builds just as it does on the sweetened sachet; only the balance of flavours in the cup is different.\nIs there a decaf version? Yes, Nescaf\u00e9 Cappuccino Decaf Unsweetened Taste, which we also stock.\nCurator's note: If you take your coffee without sugar, this is the foaming sachet to reach for. Put the biscuit on the plate and let the cup stay dry.
