 Low-cost LatteSep 15, 2005
By Carole Brawner
"Grandma Carole"
Medaglia D'Oro Instant Espresso Coffee is by far the best way to make a latte in the comfort of your home and it's also the cheapest! I use it to make an awesome vanilla latte - just put two (2) spoonfuls of the Medaglia D'Oro espresso in a coffee cup and add about 2 shots of hot water and mix. Place a shot of vanilla syrup in a tall glass(more or less according to individual taste). Next add enough cubed [not crushed]ice to fill the glass 2/3rds of the way up. Then fill the glass with enough cold milk to cover the ice. Pout the hot coffee mix over the milk and ice and stir vigorously until mixed. Add more ice as needed and then pour enough half and half to color the coffee mix to a yummy caramel color. Delicious and cheaper than the espresso stands (once you have the ingredients on hand). Medaglio is also great in recipes that call for instant espresso. Not all stores carry this product so I order from Gristedes through Amazon.com.

Much better than I expectedNov 30, 2005
By Brian from Dallas
I haven't bought this online yet (I just saw it here for the first time today), but I've been buying it locally for almost a year now. I originally bought it for a mocha dessert recipe in the South Beach Diet book. I tried it to make a latte and was pleasantly surprised. I hadn't expected much from instant espresso based on past experience with instant coffees. This is actually very good. I have only used it for lattes and mochas. I don't do espresso by the shot. I particularly like it when I go camping. I've shared it with fellow campers who also liked it. The flavor is rich and can be adjusted to taste by varying the amount per cup. It also has a light froth on top. I recommend it highly.

SOOOoo Good and VERY versitileNov 02, 2006
By Natasha Stryker
I love coffee, but I also love not having to messing with the coffee maker sometimes. This instant espresso is the best I have tried and I have tried about 7 different brands.
Not overly acidic at all, melts instantly in hot water (no sand dunes left swirling at the top if your cup), travels wonderfully (compact jar) and is very versitile to have around for cooking:
-- I but a tsp. in a batch of brownies to deepen the dark chocolate flavor
-- I put a Tbs in a BIG batch of chili to compliment the spices and add extra richness.
-- I add a bit to mexican mole sauce for punch.
-- I also put it in: chocolate granache icing, chai tea with milk for a java chai latte, coffee drink mixes for extra umph, etc.
It is over 5 bucks at some supermarkets, when/if you can even find it, so it is nice to know it is cheaper at amazon!

Incredible!! Fantastic!Aug 29, 2006
By Andrea N. Catallo
"Nicki"
I received a jar of this Instant Espresso as a gift from my mother-in-law. I was quite "insulted" at first, as I've never used instant coffee of any kind and couldn't figure out why she gave it to me! Then this past weekend, I was out of coffee beans & this was all I had (must have coffee in morning). So I made it, & WOW, it was awesome!! In fact, I'm drinking a mug of it right now as I right this review! I LOVE IT!! However, I make it in more of a latte fashion. I've also added hot chocolate to it for a mocha latte. I'll definitely be looking for it at my neighborhood stores, and if I can't find it, I'll be getting it here on Amazon. Definitely a great buy!!

Versatile "must-have" for your pantrySep 12, 2006
By Joanna Daneman
This instant coffee is a versatile ingredient. You can add it to ice cream you are freezing (or gelato or sorbet) or you can add it to chocolate icing to make mocha flavor. It is the ingredient to have when the recipe calls for "one cup of strong, cold coffee."
As a beverage on its own, it is a bit more acid than fresh espresso. But as a mix with milk, it works wonderfully well. You won't make a barrista cup of espresso with instant, but you will have a great way to make a latte in a pinch and for regular cooking, I personally am never without this jar on my shelf.
