Nescafe Gold Instant Coffee Rich Aroma 50g (Nett Weight)



On 18th February 2012 I bought a glass bottle of Nescafe Gold Instant Coffee Rich Aroma 50g (Nett Weight) from small Econ near my home at S$4.20.

* NATURALLY CONTAINS ANTIOXIDANTS*
*Good to know Nescafe Gold is a distinctive blend of Arabica and Robusta beans.

* Ingredients- 100% freeze-dried soluble coffee powder.

The above info source:

Food for thought:

The servings per package of a 3-in-1 coffee a certain flying creature brand I bought on 20th February 2012 are also 25 with a serving size per satchet being 18g. I wonder how many percent of this 18g in the sachet is real/pure coffee? Can the pure coffee be 2/18 x 100% = 11.1 % of the 3-in-1 coffee only? Can anyone tell me? I wait for your answer! Thank you.

Coffee granules are freeze-dried, so they naturally weigh less than the accompanying creamer/sugar.

To find out the percentage of coffee in your instant coffee sachet, first you must ask yourself if you're looking at percentage by weight or volume.
