TIP 1: A SMARTER WAY TO TAKEAWAY

Reduce waste and save money by filling a reusable travel mug with your favorite NESCAFE coffee before you leave the house. Treat yourself to a coffee break on the move!

TIP 2: KNOW THE RIGHT TEMPERATURE FOR YOUR COFFEE

The best temperature for NESCAFÉ® is hot, not boiling and we recommend ~80 ºC. It makes for better flavour and uses less energy. Did you know boiling a whole kettle three times a day uses approximately 110kWh of electricity a year?

By heating water to just 80ºC each time, you could save 22kWh each year, enough to power a 50” LED TV for 1,375 hours! Next time you heat water, take it off the boil just as the bubbles appear. It makes a better cup and helps reduce impact on the environment.
