Green blend coffee ?

Hey we were talking about coffee earlier in the week and what a coffee town this is.


Figures out this month show that here in Canberra we do more serious coffee than anywhere else in the country. That makes me smile.

I’m a bit of a coffee snob. I do grind my own beans in here at work.

I’m in the kitchen here in the radio station earlier on in the morning and I stumbled across this little jar coffee.

Get a load of this.

This is a jar of Nescafe Green Blend coffee

What the hell is Green Blend Coffee ?

For starters anyone who’s regularly drinking instant coffee, I don’t understand…the stuff tastes like cardboard.

This is a 50 gram jar of coffee. 50 grams ? That’s like 3 cups of coffee in the jar.

But what about the way they promote it the coffee on the jar ? This is what it says to convince you to consumer the Nescafe Green Blend coffee. For starters they call it Green Blend to convince you that somehow this drink is saving the planet....but then this.

It says ‘Delivers 70% more antioxidants than green tea’ And that’s supposed to inspire us to purchase the coffee.

I’m sorry, but if you have to compare the coffee to green tea and make a purchase on the amount of antioxidants then we don’t really want you among the ranks of coffee drinkers.

Just stick with your green tea.

Anti oxidants ? Honestly.
