I have used the instant Nescafé coffee for years and really like it. Now Nescafé has come out with a new brand which is bitter leaves a metal taste in my mouth and leaves a ring in the coffee cup. I don't know what was wrong with the way it was. I certainly don't like it anymore.

The beginning taste no flavour doesn't taste nice no crema the smell of burnt coffee the after taste none but when you finally get a full coffee in if you force yourself within the first 5 minutes i feel sick and mouth to dry a disgusting taste left in your mouth for what you pay its actually feels offensive can't believe you still sell this and to my poor mum and she buys this rubbish everyone needs to try Coles instant coffee powder do something about it nescafe because your not as great as you think you are rubbish.

Okay, so what happened to the flavour of this? It used to be my ON-THE-GO coffee when I was too lazy to grind and brew, and now it's just absolutely vile. I would rather drink dish water than this, cause it would taste more better than this garbage..

Nescafe has been my choice in coffee for longer than I can remember. We have now thrown out all our Nescafe as the taste is disgusting. Shame on you for changing a great coffee.

Have been enjoying my morning coffee for years and the last jar bought has an aweful taste and aroma.

I have drunk Nescafe most of my life ( I am74) but had to throw out most of a jar because of a kind of sludge ĺeft in the bottom of the cup. Was pleased I had another jar in the cupboard only to have the same thing happen. As well as that the aroma and taste are not the same. Will not be drinking this again

Tastes horrible, what happened to our favourite coffee? We cannot drink it. Please restore it back to how it was.

I have drunk Nescafe blend 43 for many years and all of a sudden the taste is changed it's bitter and taste like dishwashing liquid the Aroma is no longer there with that fresh bean roasted smell what's happened to our coffee? I cannot drink it I have to tip it down the sink and I have now purchased a jar of Robert Timms bring back the original recipe.

I hadn't tried Nescafe in a few years apart from the cache supplied at motels. I bought a bottle at Aldi. Love my morning cuppa but this was the worst coffee I have ever tasted. I can't ever finish a cup as so disgusting. I am not in the habit of writing reviews but made an exception because this was so bad.

I purchased a bottle of nescafe blend 43 yesterday expecting it to be a fail proof option due to it's history of being the go-to instant coffee. Wow was i disappointed, the flavour and smell has changed and as a black coffee drinker I could not ignore the offensive taste and sadly had to add milk to make it tolerable. Something has changed and this saddens me.

Nescafé is the only coffee I’ve drank and last week I got a jar that was unusable. It smelled like Burt rubber and the oil floating to the top was just too much. Unfortunately I drank it anyways. I felt off all morning at work when I suddenly felt like I was going to black out. Not sure if it was the cause but I would assume so. This is disgusting and unless it changes, I’m changing brands.

I returned an almost full 500gm tin to Nescafe after complaining of the smell and acrid taste. My other unopened tin was returned to the supermarket for a store credit. My complaint was, that after drinking Nescafe for over 40 years the new taste was acrid and the smell of the coffee in the tin reminded me of kerosene. I was fortunate to find older stock in Big W which will do for now but if the new technological taste and smell stays I'm giving up coffee..

I’ve been drinking Nescafé Blend 43 all my life and the last jar I bought tastes burnt. Unless they fix the problem they’ve lost me.

I have been a nescafe drinker for many years, upto 5 cups a day, there coffee started to taste disgusting so until it goes back to original taste, i buy other brand instant coffee now. I returned 2 full 500g tins and exchanged for another brand.

Go back to old blend

I used to love the taste of Nescafé ! But recently bought 3 bottles of them and not just one! But all three of them have a terrible taste to it!!! Which I had to get rid of them and buy a different brand!!! Not sure what has happened but I hope it can be fixed back to the original flavor!!!

Hi there
I have enjoyed Blend 43 for years but no more. The coffee now tastes burnt which is a massive shame. Please go back to the original roasting method. Lucky for you the other instant brands on the shelf are disgusting so i just keep on buying it.

Absolutely horrendous burnt taste. Have been drinking this for years but have now changed brands due to it being completely undrinkable.
