Anyone else love the Nescafe coffee at WDW?

[DisneyLuver91]

My mom and I LOVE Nescafe at the World. We've never had it at home for fear that it will be awful. But when we go on vacation, that is the coffee that we look forward to having.

Although, we found the Kona coffee to be bitter and frankly gross. I put some in my travel mug to drink at MK and ended up pouring it out in the mulch after I got off the Monorail. Yuckkkkk

 

[alawrence]

Not too sure that it is the best coffee that I have ever had... Pretty sure that it is not. But, what it is, is a confirmation that I am actually at WDW!!! It is one of those tastes, like those certain smells that you associate with the world. :wave:

 

[bdedon2]

We also look forward to it! We figured out for us... it's adding a ton of the cream. Nescafe black... blah, but once we've mixed our morning Nescafe cocktail, it's what we look forward to every time we're headed to the World.

 

[TaoBoxer]

Actually it is sold here.

The 100% Kona press pot.

THIS ! Agreed!

This was more of the sentiment I was trying to convey! You like it because it says you're at WDW...

I know we'll get slammed for this, but my wife and I love the Nescafe coffee that is sold in WDW! We look forward to it! We know it's just instant coffee, but there's just something about it... I guess it just tastes like "vacation".

Anyone else with me on this?

Its kind of meh, I have had better and worse hotel coffee. I wish that disney would put Keurig machines into the hotel rooms, better variety with better quality coffee and teas.

$100 each. I am sure that disney could get a huge volume discount, if not getting them for free if they promote a monthly favorite from green mountain. There is probably over a million households that visit wdw in a year, that is marketing that is hard for Keurig to come by.

It may be the best of the instant coffees, but that is comparable to being the best bobsled team in all of Jamacia.

I think you Americans take your coffee more seriously than we do in the UK, IMO most UK households have a jar of instant coffee as the norm, I don't know many people that have a filtered coffee machine in their kitchen.

Coffee is my wine. I have a $160 coffee maker with a built in grinder and thermal carafe. On occasion I have been known to spend as much as $40-$50 per pound for particular specialty beans. I have been tempted to try Kopi Luwak but can't bring myself to drop $300+ for a pound of beans. I am also not to hip on where Kopi Luwak comes from.

Is that the bean that gets eaten by an animal and pooped back out? :hurl:

While certainly tolerable (it does compliment our mid-morning pastry breaks), I do relish my morning coffee (that I prepare from grounds brought from home and brewed in our room; but you've got to purchase your own water to seal the deal).

I have to agree. I have had many houseguests from the UK. The drip coffee maker confuses them. As does my lack of an electric kettle.

Really? doesn't the uk buy more manual transmission cars, as a percentage, then the US?

Old farts driving Mercs tend to be the few that use automatic gearboxes, the rest of us like the control and response of manual.

We do have a coffee peculator, its not used everyday but it is on regularly. One of my best friends had the full set up when we lived in the mess, machines grinders beans syrups etc. Not surprisingly when we left he bought a franchise and is now an award winning barista.

But while were on about it and at the risk of WWIII I wish WDW had Pepsi!

But JC likes manuals, and he is an fart that likes his mercs.

Well if you can find a Keurig machine in the UK, it is the easiest way to make coffee.

As for pepsi, if you don't have a rental, you could find a lynx line that leads to a grocery store.

I don’t wish to start WW III either just curious.

In reading all this coffee talk thread I remembered something from long ago when I was a young 2nd Lt.

A superior officer’s wife was English, a war bride. She was a lovely women who frequently invited me to tea, and attempted to “fix me up” with every, single woman, in a 500 mile radius of the base, but I digress. Anyway she always insisted that tea bags were the work of the devil, she wouldn’t have them in her house. She used to say “a spoon of tea for everyone at the table and one for the pot.”

How common is that now? Is it still general practice or do most people just drop a tea bag in a cup of hot water?

Thanks

Most people in the UK use teabags, Teapots & loose tea are considered old fashioned now. I don't know how long ago your tale happened but years ago Loose tea was the main way of making tea. Home made Knitted tea cosies were also popular! I'm only 34 and my family made tea this way when I was a child! As I'm the only tea drinker in the house I use bags as making a pot of tea would be wasted.

We have both, we have a pot with a filter in it, you put the tea in that then fill with your water. Gets used when Mrs Sak has her decent tea head on, though most of that can be purchased in bags now too. No cosy or doilies allowed though.

As for Pepsi yes I get it from the supermarket en route but I just wish it was in the parks I dont like Coke. And the UK pavilion should have Irn Bru and Tizer.

It is how the exclusive contracts are written up that dictate what we can drink at a sporting event, movie theater, fast food restaurant, or amusement park.

As for the UK pavilion, it is only going to be a fizzy drink from the UK that coke sells.
