NESCAFÉ Cafe de Olla Cinnamon Flavored Instant Coffee, 6.7 oz Jar | Cinnamon-flavored instant coffee inspired by traditional cafe de olla; single 6.7 oz jar

I drink a lot of coffee, never straight black but iced with some sort of creamer, and frequently as a frappé from my frozen drink machine. I like cinnamon well enough, so I thought I would try this. I initially had mixed feelings about it specifically in regards of the scent of the dry coffee, but when I learned about this specific café de olla style, I was able to enjoy it.So, the aroma caught me off guard at first because I was expecting a sweeter bakery-style cinnamon coffee. I looked it up and I learned that this follows the more traditional café de olla style with earthy roasted coffee, dark sugar, and simmered spice notes. Once I understood the flavor profile it made a lot more sense, even if it wasn’t completely to my personal taste at first. Given this info, I would say that the coffee smells exactly like it's supposed to, and the scent is more of an issue with me not knowing that.I had a sip of it unaltered, prepared with hot tap water, just to get oriented to the taste. It was bitter, which is to be expected. The directions say to use sweetener, so all good. I decided to try iced with some chocolate coffee creamer, and then another iced cup with milk and vanilla syrup. The taste definitely improved with sweetness.Like most coffee, I have had no problems with digestion. As noted, I have used it iced and with creamer, and so obviously you can drink this prepared simply as is (if you like plain black coffee, more power to you) or even in a frappe form. So I appreciate the variety, but honestly you can do this with almost every coffee.I did make a very nice prison coffee drink, and I will share the recipe recipe here for those who may be find the coffee to be a bit overwhelming and are looking for ways to enjoy it. Because I'm more of a dessert coffee guy, I decided to call this "Mexican Fessert Frappe". This is based on making a large batch for you and your pal using 50 oz of total fluid (adjust as necessary): 40 oz coffee base made of 2 tbsp café de olla AND 2 tbsp regular instant of your choice; 1/4 cup vanilla syrup; 1–2 tbsp caramel; and half-and-half to your desired level of richness. I'd suggest something like vanilla, white chocolate, and or caramel to really make there's something you might enjoy drinking.So, because I didn't really know what I was getting into, my initial reaction about the scent was due to my ignorance. I understand the flavor profile now, it does taste like traditional café de olla cinnamon coffee, and can be very delicious if you know what you're getting into. If you're willing to tinker with your coffee formula a little bit, if you can find a place for this in your regular coffee rotation for an earthy, rich cinnamon experience.

Only buy this if you really, really love cinnamon flavor. It’s very strong. I only use half teaspoon and half teaspoon my regular coffee if I’m making a small cup.

I love coffee and Nescafe is the only brand of instant I'll drink. But this isn't it. It tastes strange and nothing like cinnamon.If you want a good cup try Nescafe Espresso Gold. Love that one. All flavors are great.

Tastes great.

ADD A HEAPING TEASPOON TO a little bit of hot water in your glass .. then 3tsp sugar, 1 Splenda, 2 sweet n low, add whatever amount of SWEET AND CREAMY creamer in the red bottle … it’s the main brand of creamers u know the ones that has “original”.. the popular typical one.. can’t remember the name.. then add the CINNAMON ROLL one in same brand.. then fill u cup almost half way or 1/3 of your glass with milk or whatever milk u drink then add water stir stir stir and add ice and straw !!!!!!!! Really good with the sweet and creamy but also good with both sweet and creamy plus cinnamon roll or bun !!!!!!!!!!!!

If you like traditional cinnamon and that's what you are assuming, this does not taste like that to me. One review explained this flavor profile. I did not read any reviews prior to purchase. I advise you do to see if you would like it. I don't like it at all. But I got mine on sale and it's a big jar. Definitely a great coffee brand. Always smooth and well caffinated. The flavor is not cinnamon to me at all and it's going to take every bit of tolerance I have to finish the jar. I gave it 4 stars because of ignorance about the flavor on my part and it's still a great brand. I'm sure people will like it somewhere. But it's like a weird Irish cream to me and I was thinking I was getting cinnamon.

Buen sabor del café me.gusto mucho

This is so good, the cinnamon flavor is delicious. I use it to make whipped coffee, wish they had a decaf version.not the brands fault but the jar I ordered this time was broken, they packaged it in a bag, not a box. The coffee filled the bag and there were broken glass throughout however, Amazon replaced it and I received the replacement in 2 days.
