Summary
Nescafe Latte is an instant solution for those who prefer their cuppa with sweetness and milky richness. If strong is what you’re looking for, we suggest skipping this.
A rich shot of espresso blended with steamed milk and topped with an airy layer of foamed milk, lattes are loved for the creaminess. The layer of foam (baristas call it ‘microfoam’) adds to this richness.
The perfect shot of espresso, milk, and the foamy layer- wouldn’t this require multiple tools and appliances? Or a trip to your local coffee shop?
To find an answer to this, we ordered the Latte cup by Nescafe. In our Nescafe Latte coffee cup review, you’ll find everything you need to know from taste and consistency to whether or not this is something you should try.

The cup and lid are sealed. Inside there’s a sachet and a stirrer and this lid can be closed again.
We whiffed the dry premix to find that it resembled the aroma of a homemade cup of coffee (more milk than coffee and some sugar) Visually, the powder had a light beige appearance.
We used one of our best-rated products from 2021- Havells Vetro Digi Electric Kettle to start the tasting process. A mark is provided on the cup’s exterior surface. This indicates the amount of water you need to add. We emptied the sachet, added water, and stirred it all together. The premix blended seamlessly into the water, there were no lumps formed. Thumbs up!
Once ready, the aroma was more milky than nutty (or that of coffee) To put it into numbers, the aroma was 65% milky and 35% coffee.
Lattes have a thin layer of foam at the top but this was not the case here. The consistency was even throughout but no separate layer of foam was observed.
This product is marketed with the ‘makes 1 creamy cup’ claim. However, the taste and consistency were more milky than creamy. This isn’t a strong, bold cup of coffee, it is more on the sweeter side.
