WIN a pack of limited edition NESCAFÉ Gold Single Colombian blend plus a Lilly's Life Gift Pack with a selection of some of my favourite beauty indulgences (Total value $165). Four runners up will each win a pack of limited edition NESCAFÉ Gold coffee ($10 each). Entry details below.
Did you know that Coffee is the second most valuable commodity in the World next to petroleum?
I guess its hardly surprising when you look at the City I live and its strong cafe culture. Coffee is integral to most people's socialising. The choice of great coffee abounds and it inspires passion and addiction in many of us.
Regardless of how you like your coffee and the ritual that may surround it, there is something to be said for its slow savouring - alone or sharing it in the company of others. Our individual coffee experiences are unique and personal.
When I was offered the opportunity to try the new Limited Edition NESCAFÉ Gold Single Origin Colombian Blend soluble coffee I jumped at the chance.
For one reason only.
This coffee is made from 100% Colombian Arabica coffee beans and there are only 5,000 packs exclusively available online in Australia.
It is pretty special. My daughter recently went to South America and had her own unique Colombian coffee experience on a farm in Salento. I have been interested in Colombian coffee since.
The area is beautiful. Just look at the jaw dropping scenery.

The area is beautiful. Just look at the jaw dropping scenery.
So 15,000 kilometres away from these coffee farms, I was ready to have my own Colombian coffee experience. When I received the NESCAFÉ Gold coffee and an inspirational hamper, I decided to have a get together with friends and family to do a group tasting. As well as tasting the coffee they also tested my 'coffee creations'.
I made a Walnut Coffee Cake, coffee cream topped scones (yum!), coffee cream chocolates, iced coffees (with coffee ice cubes), coffee iced cupcakes - there are so many ways to use coffee other than just drinking it. We all had a lot of fun sharing this very Australian Colombian coffee experience. And none of us had to trek up any mountains on horseback to get our 100% Colombian coffee fix, unlike some coffee drinkers we know.

And the Verdict?
I love the aroma, the taste and the fact it is not overpowering. It was also great in the goods I baked. Everyone was pleasantly surprised that the "soluble coffee could taste so real" (Melbournites and their coffee!).
Here are a few comments from others, "I like that it is not overpowering". "It doesn't have that bitter taste you get with most coffees". "It's got a classic aroma." "This tastes like real, normal coffee." "It is earthy tasting." "Rounded finish but I thought it lacked a bit of taste upfront." "Smells like real coffee and is very strong in a good way."

Wow you're having some great giveaways! I love coffee (in case you couldn't guess by my blog's name). I like two kinds of coffee. My favourite is the South Indian filter coffee which I miss given that I don't live with my family any more. I still think nothing can beat it. Here's a link to know more about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_filter_coffee
ReplyDeleteApart from that, I like my coffee strong with skim milk and no sugar. I need the kick!!
I drink long blacks all day long. Then switch to wine he he when the sun goes down. It keeps me awake. She went to Colombia? Gee whizz she is brave. The coffee may be good but how is the crime there? Your baking looks scrumptious too.
ReplyDeleteI like it to be hot, in a clean cup (cup to have been cleaned by someone else), and made and poured by someone else, preferably in a great Cafe.
ReplyDeleteI like my coffee black and hot too. I have been to south America and its amazing.
ReplyDeletelovely tribute to coffee today Lilly, and have fun with the contest!
ReplyDeleteYou are certainly having some awesome give-aways. Thank you for my win today! I'm so excited!
ReplyDeleteI've lived in Seattle Washington for 12 years. Coffee is a way of life here, almost like a religion, and I worship every morning with 1-2 cups of coffee with a little Coffeemate. I don't like to use a liquid creamer, because it cools the coffee too fast. No sweetening necessary! On weekdays, I drink my coffee fast, because I'm too lazy to get up early and I need to get to work. But on the weekends I savor my cups of joe, taking time to appreciate the smell as well as the taste.
ReplyDeleteMy parents drank Nescafe coffee when I was a kid (back when the world was much younger). So I'm going to check out Nescafe Gold!
Back in the day, dear Lilly, I was a Heavy Coffee Drinker---Real Coffee and Nescafe, too--maybe 15 cups a day....I gave it all up almost 40 years ago---I switched to De-Caf...BUT, gave that up too, almost 30 years ago, except on very special occasions---Funny how these things can change. Is this Nescafe supposed to be very very different from what they did all those years ago? It sure sounds good! Though, in truth, I have no desire to drink coffee any more, at all. In fact, it seems like another life....Drinking coffee and Smoking. WOW! Both, L-O-N-G Gone in my life...!
ReplyDeleteHow pretty does Colombia look in those pictures. I kind of think its nice to know where our coffee is coming from and who grows it.I guess most of the good coffee gets exported like happens in Brazil too. Such gorgeous landscapes. I go to the same cafe every day for my late. Same routine, its just part of my day. This blend looks interesting, I like my coffee strong.
ReplyDeleteI am a complete coffee freak. I need my morning coffee for my beauty routine. I would hate to see what I would look like without coffee and beauty products. Rachel xx
ReplyDeleteI just discovered your blog via Three Lil Princesses.
I love my coffee too and always have a jar of Nescafe on hand as its easy and quick. I love my cafe visits too and I would guess I buy coffee at least 8 time sin a week, it adds up. I would like to try this one though as it sounds kind of special. Great giveaway too. Margyt123@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteI like my coffee first thing in the morning before anyone talks to me! I never drink coffee after noon and I like it like I love my man, white, strong and a little bit sweet!
ReplyDeleteI get the perfect coffee every morning, my husband makes it before I wakes up and brings it to me in bed, along with kisses and cuddles. Best way to start the day.
ReplyDeleteadmin@stuffwiththing.com
Lucky you, hang on to him!
DeleteThe way i have my coffee is STRONG, if i dont have it strong, without my coffee im a bit of a cranky girl. like my coffee mug says " no coffee, no love"
ReplyDeleteThis looks good because unlike many coffee snobs I happen to like freeze dried coffee the best. I have aobut 5 cups a day which may be a little excessive is it? I would love to try this one, being a limited edition and all. I like Nescafe, may faovurite brand.
ReplyDeletehannahporter@bigpond.com.au
I like my coffee tall, dark and piping hot - same characteristics I look for in a man really!
ReplyDeleteSandra
birdcaget@hotmail.com
Sandra, that is hilarious!I am so borrowing that line.
DeleteCalm and coffee? Kind of contradictory...
ReplyDeleteJust like me.Its special coffee lol.
ReplyDeleteI like mine EXTRA HOT, with unsweetened soy milk. Not that I can drink it right away, I always just sit and wait till it gets warm. Weird habit, I know.
ReplyDeleteI prefer my coffee served up on a tray, with home-made almond cookies, a daisy in a crystal vase & of course only the best china will do. Now to just train up the dog or believe in fairies.
ReplyDeletemarypres(AT)gmail(DOT)com
What? You don't believe in fairies?
DeleteI prefer my coffee served to me by a towel wrapped George Clooney. :D
ReplyDeleteBut in the real world I like it strong with a bit of sugar and milk.
Hi Annie, you are a woman after my own heart, lol
DeleteI prefer the dark and aromatic type
ReplyDeletea coffee thats true with no hype!!
flavoursome and rich, with a dash of milk
that slides down my throat like silk♥♥
I love espressos and the best I have ever had was in Sorrento Italy.I would like to try this one though, sounds good, thanks.
ReplyDeleterobinporterAnnes@gmail.com
I drink my coffee strong black and often, my favorite treat is home made icecream strongly flavoured with espresso and coffee liquor
ReplyDeleteHow about this i do not like to drink coffee but i use it to make coffee sorbet and ice cream. I would also like th erecipe for your Coffee walnut Cake too. so I am a coffee user but I eat rather than drink.
ReplyDeleteHere is the recipe I use for COFFE WALNUT CAKE
DeleteCOFFEEWALNUTCAKE
I love your pictures, very beautiful. I like a long black every day before my breakfast. It gets me started for the day ahead.
ReplyDeleteI like iced coffee a lot and I use the instant Nescafe coffee. First I mix the powder with hot water, add sugar and cream. Then I put some ice and shake it. :D
ReplyDeleteaisha(at)theholleyherald(dotcom)
I am not a coffee drinker, but a coffee eater!
ReplyDeleteI love making a range of recipes with it, including coffee truffles, coffee shortbread, coffee mousse, and coffee macarons!
I worked in a cafe for 7 years and have made my fair share of coffees in my time!
You just made me so hungry.That sounds amazing.

I like my coffee hiding in the pantry form the kids.

Sue Cossor I like my coffee strong and rich
ReplyDeleteSince visiting the Czech Republic back in 1979 I've had my coffee strong and black. I was told that only fascists drink milk in their coffee so didn't want to offend anyone. I actually didn't know what a fascist was but assumed it wasn't good. lol

ReplyDeleteI love a deep contrast coffee but made weak with a sweet taste
I like my coffee just a little white, out on my patio in the sunlight while I am reading a great magazine. Email address to Wufoo entry.

ReplyDeleteHot.
ReplyDeleteNot asking too much, am I?
Love my coffee when it's keeping my hands warm and I am listening to some girlie gossip!
ReplyDeleteI like my coffee rich, mellow but strong -the same way I like my men!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteI like to drink mine with friends...milk with two makes for a perfect afternoon! Thanks for a great giveaway! Xo
ReplyDeleteHot, sweet and rich, just like the perfect man! :-)
ReplyDeleteI can understand why coffee would be such a valuable commodity. Whether you drink it or not it is part of everyday life. How many people start up relationships over a cup of coffee or end their relationships over a cup of coffee. I like my coffee, preferably as soon after I wake up as possible.
ReplyDeleteI prefer my coffee to taste and look like mountain dew!! My boyfriend prefers his in a mug!!
ReplyDeletemissy239@hotmail.com
I'm not a coffee drinker, but my husband is so when I win the coffee is for him and the other items are for me. It;s a win win situation !! Thanks for the giveaway !!
ReplyDeleteP.S. I LOVE the smell of coffee just not crazy about the taste.
Wufoo form submitted with email details, thanks.
I enjoy my coffee black and hot most often. Occasionally I'll do one of the more dessert type (my opinion) of arrangements that may include ice and spice.
ReplyDeleteI visited Greece once on a business trip long ago and still remember the scene in the conference room where these older coffee watched for my reaction to a very strong espresso - it was certainly high octane.
Yes that reminds me of going to southern Italy and having an espresso that literally resulted in smoke coming out my ears. It was also interesting in that there only ever seemed to be men lounging around the cafes drinking coffee. Not sure where the women were - home doing housework perhaps. It was like stepping back into another century.
DeleteI like my coffee with cream and a little piece of cheese:) As my Grandma always drinks. I remember how I saw her drinking coffee every morning in my childhood, sniffed it's aroma and dreamed about times when I can drink coffee too. Now my Grandma is 78, she is very beautiful , wise and optimistic woman and I like visiting her and we are drinking our coffee together. So dreams come true:))
ReplyDeleteI love a little coffee with a not so little piece of dark chocolate. It is my little slice of luxury in an otherwise busy day.
ReplyDeletemfrancis1974@gmail.com
Freshly ground, hot, right after it gets done steeping. I usually put in caramel macchiato creamer, mmm so good!
ReplyDeleteHubby makes a wicked caramel latte in his new espresso coffee machine and it's great to relax and enjoy
ReplyDeleteStrong and hot with a little milk
ReplyDeleteSame way I like my men - strong, tall and black (well in my dream anyway!)
ReplyDeleteHot, black and strong.
ReplyDeleteI love using a milk frother and getting a big dollop of foamy milk on my coffee! It makes it taste so much richer!
ReplyDeleteHot and strong, like my men. (Black or white, I'm easy! :))
ReplyDeleteAs the old saying goes coffee should be strong & dark like chocolate and men. But honestly I'm happy if my husband has made the coffee (and hes not dark and not particularly strong but I love him anyway).
ReplyDeleteFast-when i want it i want it now-hot strong,white with a hint of the exotic(just like my men)
ReplyDeletestrong white and 2 sugars
ReplyDeleteI prefer my coffee simple, without sugar to taste the real coffee flavour. I am a coffeeaholic
ReplyDeleteI prefer my coffee, sitting in a quaint cafe in the St Germain des Pres district, shooting the breeze with Brad Pitt and munching on a pain suisse aux pepites de chocolat. Bliss. Well now I've woken up from that dream I'll get up, put the kettle on and have a long black while I put the washing on.
ReplyDeleteDon't we all but in my dream George replaces Brad, lol
DeleteHot with Vanilla
ReplyDeleteIn the morning,
ReplyDeleteTo stop me yawning.
A latte is my pick,
With froth - getting a big tick!
I prefer it when I am recovering from the night before
ReplyDeleteStrong! So you can taste that it's coffee that I'm drinking!
ReplyDeleteLove my coffee, my primary indulgence in life!!!
Intravenously!
ReplyDeleteI prefer my coffee black, on a gray rainy day here in Portland OR (thankfully I have lots of those types of days)!
ReplyDeleteI have to have my coffee hot, black, strong and lots of it.
ReplyDeleteI love my make up, men and coffee STRONG and BOLD.
ReplyDeleteYour pack and limited edition Nescafé Gold could have me dating your blog.
freshly ground and brewed with a hint of cinnamon.....if its the proper blend and grind, black.

ReplyDeleteIced with a good scoop of vanilla icecream!
ReplyDeleteBlack
ReplyDeleteStrong, short and black
ReplyDeleteRich! .... Just like I prefer my Men & my Chocolate :)
ReplyDeleteI like going for a sneaky coffee on my own away from my kids and husband when I am out doing the grocery shopping. A flat white and a bit of time on my own to collect my thoughts and relax is pure bliss.
ReplyDeleteI like to 'kiss' my coffee ( 'Keep It Simple Stupid' - no offence intended! )
ReplyDeleteFlat white, full bodied and with a lasting kick!
Black, Strong, made in a plunger on a Saturday afternoon, on my own with a very good book.
ReplyDeleteWhite and extra hot so it lasts longer
ReplyDeleteStrong and black with just a hint of sugar. And it has to be Nescafe! none of that other horrible stuff!
ReplyDeletewith sugar and soy milk
ReplyDeleteSmooth, rich and creamy. A beautiful latte with a little sugar is always enjoyable
ReplyDeletei say wake up and smell the coffee and I do that, coffee is my buzz for the morning.
ReplyDeleteDECAF SOY CAPPUCCINO
ReplyDeleteI like my coffee strong to provide the caffeine induced motivation needed to tackle the morning chaos. It's drunk in quick sips while trying to make breakfasts, school lunch, change nappies, locate bags and shoes and wrestle clothes onto my apparent aspiring nudist children.
ReplyDeleteIt then usually accompanies me to the bathroom too, where I apply my make-up one handed, using the other to catch my 2 year old as he attempts a crude gymnastics routine between the toilet and vanity!
I love the weekends, when I can sit back and just enjoy a great coffee without having to rush around!
espresso black!
ReplyDeleteHot with Cream [Not Milk]

ReplyDeleteI am a college student who commutes into the city to get to school in the mornings; I live about an hour outside of town, and I drink my coffee on the way in to wake myself up for class.
I'm not much of a hot beverage drinker unless it's super sugary; I like to put so much creamer and sugar into my drink that it turns nearly white instead of brown. Recently, one of my friends also turned me on to the idea of pouring chocolate syrup into the mix. It's fantastic! When I have my coffee, I want to feel like I'm drinking candy.
in my wedgewood cup, hot and strong and as often as possible.
ReplyDeleteBlack as the devil, hot as hell, pure as an angel, sweet as love.
ReplyDeleteHot and strong just like my man!
ReplyDeleteI know its not the coolest or most authentic way, but i love drinking a latte. Adding a couple packets of sweetener and some milk, with a couple of spoonfuls of vegan vanilla protein powder, seems to me like starting my day with dessert! its honestly one of the highlights of my day haha
ReplyDeletestrong and milky like my men
ReplyDeletesitting on top of the glasshouse mountains watching the trains go past
ReplyDeleteI love the taste of straight up just black coffee
ReplyDeleteI put cinnamon in the grounds before brewing. This gives the coffee a more complex flavor, and makes sugar or milk unnecessary.
ReplyDeleteAlone, with my thoughts, to savour.
ReplyDeleteI like my coffee strong, and warm. I top my coffee with 2-3 marshmallows, and a dollop of thickened lite cream.
ReplyDeleteYesterday! Chop chop hubby!

ReplyDeleteIn the morning, repeatedly during the day, and in the evening! Give me my coffee on auto pilot through a beer guzzling hat and I am a happy camper. Can't make it through the day without feeding the caffiene addiction.
ReplyDeleteHOT AND WET!
ReplyDeleteWith frothy milk, on a gondola through Venice with someone massaging my feet. And a hint of Baileys. Other than that, any time, anywhere.
ReplyDeleteMmmm... Coffee is so versatile.
ReplyDeleteI love it in chocolate mouse, in tiramisu, as flavouring in my Baileys, in cake but mostly, I'm content with a lovely latte made for me early in the morning by my husband when Dora has decided it's okay to get up before the sun.
White. With nothing added except milk - no flavours, no sweeteners, nothing else. Preferably served to me on a platter accompanied by a shortbread biscuit by a manservant whilst I relax on a lounge chair by the pool in the mansion that I purchased with my imagined lotto winnings.
ReplyDeleteHave you been reading my mind Tracy?
DeleteIn peace! no kids, no hubby. just me and my coffee
ReplyDeleteIt used to to be hot, steamy , awful sweet & real creamy. Like my wife used to be in years gone past. But now we have hit retirement age, I seem to have it rather cool and not to sweet.
ReplyDeleteHot and Strong alone without the kids fighting or yelling at each other or me to get them more food pure HEAVEN :-)
ReplyDeleteIn a cup
ReplyDeleteblack with two sugars.
ReplyDeleteI prefer my coffee strong with a dash of milk and two sugars
ReplyDeleteI prefer my coffee religiously in the morning with 3 sugars unsure why just always have and one nightly one after dinner just slightly weaker, but always in good company to have a chat and warm the fingers up if its a cold night!
ReplyDeleteSkinny Cap with no sugar, perfect way to start the day, before the crazy ones awake.
ReplyDeleteSweet with a dash of milk, in a smallish cup so i can have that delicious taste with the warming sensation going down my throat until the last drop
ReplyDeleteI prefer my coffee served to me every morning by David Beckham --- a shirtless delicious David Beckham. (I'd love to tell you more, but my alarm always goes off and wakes me up!!)
ReplyDeleteI like a smooth strong cup of coffee. The type that would put any normal person in a head spin or make them feel so exhilarated they thought they had just come off a roller coaster! Well my coffee experience doesn't take me on a ride, I take it on my roller coaster ride of life and there is no room for DECAF passengers!!
ReplyDeleteLike a roller coaster I start of slow in the morning, regular coffee intake helps me rise up and over the highs and climb out of the lows of the day very quickly. You could say it was mt engine fuel!!! This is mostly how I function during the week but weekends are a different story!
I guess you could say I use coffee as a stimulant during the week but on weekends it is for relaxing and enjoying what life has to offer. Rather like a ferris wheel I guess. I weekends I like to sit at the top and watch the world buzz around at the bottom. It all looks so insignificant from up here!
So as you can see I have a serious coffee addiction, I need it, I want it, I love it!! It's my stimulant and relaxant and yet I sleep like a baby at night. That part has always puzzled me!!
A 97 year old client got me hooked on a good Italian coffee, seems to be his ticket to good health. I also love a cup of Nescafe.
ReplyDeleteAt the moment decaf as I am a new mummy (breastfeeding) which is not great but normally I like it sweet with skim milk :) Can't wait to get back to my coffee habit!
ReplyDeleteI like a strong cup of coffee with a dollop of vanilla ice-cream on top, for a creamy texture
ReplyDeleteBy osmosis - or on a drip strong creamy and dark
ReplyDeletesitting on my patio sipping my coffee long black the way I lke my men and contemplating my navel and watching the world go by

Don't care how or where I have it,
But if I miss out , I get quite rabid.
I prefer my coffee strong, white and no sugar and definitely milk before hot water!! :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy a coffee with a mate,
ReplyDeleteWe chat and catch up which is great,
Skinny Latte is the best,
But also enjoy the rest,
Sweet enough, no sugar required,
Coffee keeps me wired!
I love Nescafe, medium strong with full cream milk, in a very big cup. I like to eat a little chocolate along with my coffee!
ReplyDeleteHome-made Iced Coffee! 2 tsp coffee, 3 tsp sugar, a bit of hot water to dissolve and top with 500ml milk. Definitely not good for me but it taste better than instant coffee in ice cube form!
ReplyDeleteStrong and lots of it
ReplyDeletewith a Cup of character caramel latte,Rich aroma, stimulating drive, instant response,leaves me feeling alive
ReplyDeleteShaken but not stirred
ReplyDeleteI like my coffee strong
ReplyDeleteweak tastes wrong
a dash of milk
makes it smooth as silk
and ultra sweet
for an indulgent treat
White with one sugar but not too strong, I keep the strength for my husband's coffee as he needs it living with me
ReplyDeleteready for me before I wake up - although that doesn't happen ever!
ReplyDeleteThe same as my men hot, strong & definitely first thing in the morning. Anytime, any place whenever the urge takes me !!!! There's something sexy & indulgent in drinking my NESCAFE Gold Single Origin Colombian Blend in bed surrounded by books, crosswords, magazines, telephone & my favourite & only bed buddy at the moment our gorgeous cat "KOSTA" curled up catching up on his ZZZZzzzz'ssss !!!!!
ReplyDeleteAll I need now is the strong, sweet & hot Colombian in bed with me !!!!
