Nestle Capuccino: review
« on: March 10, 2005, 07:35:43 pm »

I was slightly dubious when I bought this one, as I am a bit ambivalent about Nestle as they have ruined most of my old favourites.  However, as I generally enjoy their flagship range - Double Choc, Double Cream etc, I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.


On unwrapping the bar one is instantly greeted by a tricoulored block that looks refreshingly different and appealing.  It's a sort of suite of white chocolate with embedded coffee bits, milk chocolate and plain chocolate.  Each piece is locked together in a sort of Chinese puzzle. 


The smell is rather indifferent, but on biting through there is a wonderful snapping and crumbling feeling, as the different components come apart.


The taste is well..... divine is not too strong a word.  Coffee-flavoured chocolate lovers will be sold on the spot.  Those who hate it will find the soft coffee tones tolerable.  It combines with the milk and plain chocolate sublimely, producing a totally gorgeous flavour.


Even die in the wool Nestle sceptics will enjoy this bar. 


Bounty points 9.3/10

Just the sort of blinkered view I would expect from you.

I hated it when I tried it. Waste of money.

I loved it when I tried it. My mum loves coffee and I like coffee flavoured things and we both enjoyed it a lot. My grand parents rated it as well. I totally agree with your view bounty. Well reviewed!

Personally I'm with Lou Lou on the coffee-choc front, but I suppose if we were all the same we'd have smaller shopping centres.
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

Why would those who hate coffee-flavoured chocolate try it in the first place?


Ewwww.

I noticed a spelling mistake. But on the whole a good review.

So did I.  But I think we'll call it a typo.
