All ucc is good but beware if u see the ucc bluemountain, yes it's a premium instant coffee but it has the mildest taste of all. Doesn't at all taste like coffee but more to pleasant acidic fruity tea, and u can forget about adding milk. It's best enjoyed as it is.
If u want the aroma of coffee to stand out despite adding milk then consider nescafe dark roast, or Bru original with chicory also goes well with milk. Tchibo gold from germany also quite nice, with or without milk. I particularly like Tchibo because it tastes very smooth with milk. I think it is by far my favorite.

QUOTE(cablesguy @ May 11 2020, 09:32 AM) Used to take the 3 in 1s, but heard its not so healthy in the long run. Come to think of it, is there any scientific evidence or studies done to indicate so? It's actually not that hard to figure out. Apart from the 3in1 having high sugar content what makes it even worse is the non-dairy creamer. It's the nasty chemical stuffs that renders non-dairy creamer unhealthy. While there's no specific evidence saying 3in1 is bad but there are tons of studies regarding the side effects of non-dairy creamer. And it's not just 3in1 alone, even you can find non-dairy creamer in so freaking many commercial products. It could be your well-loved boba tea (except the fresh milk series), the condensed milk used in many beverages and desserts and that includes your favorite teh tarik and ice cream unless it is dairy-based ice cream imported from NZ (that's why they cost more), the creamer in Maggi curry, "milky" juice such as banana, papaya and honeydew milk, just to name a few here. |

QUOTE(Volkswagen2 @ May 14 2020, 06:30 PM) Stopped taking Nescafe Classic about 5 or 6 years ago as the coffee taste is too bitter. One will need to add a lot of sugar so that the bitter taste will not be felt too much unless one prefers the bitter taste of the coffee. Nescafe Gold tastes a lot better than Nescafe Classic and it's not so bitter so you use less sugar or sweetened condensed milk. It's healthier in the long run as less sugar will translate to lower risk of getting diabetes. The taste of the coffee with Nescafe Gold is also nicer and more aromatic than Nescafe Classic. The only bad thing about Nescafe Gold is you will need to add more teaspoon of coffee granules since the taste is not as strong and bitter than Nescafe Classic. Say you use 1 teaspoon with Nescafe Classic, you would need to use 2 or 3 teaspoons with Nescafe Gold. In other words, the coffee will be used up quicker as you need to add more teaspoon with each and every cup of coffee. Haven't tried UCC Japanese coffee or Davidoff but since there are some recommendations here, will try them some other time. No wonder my house owner said she prefers nescafe classic because it tastes stronger than neacafe gold. I guess now it does make sense. But then judging the type of coffee granules of each, nescafe gold is extracted using freeze drying technology which yields better aroma as opposed to nescafe classic that still relies on old method of extraction. You will also notice many decent brands are using freeze drying process as a modern and more reliable method. The coffee granules are more uniform and aroma is well preserved. I have a Ikea coffee grinder and french press, i tried the UCC Roast Master whole beans and it was very nice. I made normal black coffee despite the label says the beans are intended for latte. Either whole beans or instant coffee UCC is a good brand if you like nescafe gold. |

QUOTE(Dwango @ May 30 2020, 05:16 PM) Just got the UCC 114 and 117 coffee. Perhaps I'm not very sensitive to the taste of these coffees as they don't taste very different from each other. After reading the description from the internet, it does appear that 117 has a stronger coffee flavour than 114. Between UCC and Nescafe Gold, can't really say if they taste massively different. As said earlier, perhaps I'm not very sensitive to the different taste of the coffees. Nevertheless, I feel the 117 tastes closer to Nescafe Gold than 114. The UCC 114 has a milder and sourish taste compared you the stronger and bitter taste of 117 and Nescafe Gold.  It seems not a myth that Japanese people are serious about their coffee, they can spot the minor difference even between few batch marks. If you like something special maybe can try UCC sumiyaki or charcoal coffee. Tchibo coffee from Germany also not bad, it's my favorite and always gone like hot cakes. Ever since dalgona gone viral and featured in boba shops, i think instant coffee is what many people looking into right now. |
