    A Natural form of caffeine There is no bitterness and especially no jitterness.

    Why is this coffee worth having. It's by all definitions expresso, but according to their brewing instructions, it would be very weak expresso, so obviously they're trying to make it look like you're getting a lot of coffee for the money.

    Best espresso for chocolate baking, add-on for hot coco, chocolate milk, protein shakes

    I bought this first to add a teaspoonful of the powder to a special fudge brownie recipe on a friend's recommendation. We found that it was much better flavored and more versatile than espresso powders that are designed just for baking. It was a revelation. We started trying it in other chocolate recipes.

    Delicious for iced coffee

    First let me clarify, I like to drink ICED COFFEE made with milk and instant espresso. I would never drink this as water+espresso hot coffee/espresso - it simply does not hold up when compared to fresh hot coffee or espresso.
