Never buy this.
I bought this product as an emergency device. That is, it comes with milk/whitener in the sachet. This is due to the fact that I always start off one day a week by making a coffee with milk that's gone off and making myself feel sick. Therefore I bought this cappucino stuff so I could have a coffee without using the off milk. A grave error. Firstly, it is made with standard nescafe instant coffee, which is possibly the most minging coffee on the face of the planet. Secondly, a well known characteristic of cappucino is its frothy head. Now, it is difficult to produce a frothy head in a powdered drink, would you not say? Indeed, and they appear to have got round it by adding baking powder or something to the mix. Gives a nice frothy head, tastes like shit. Then there is the curious ability for the whole rank mix to stick in foul blobs of congealed milk powder, no matter how much one stirs. RICH TEA BISCUIT LOVERS: you know when you lose half a rich tea biscuit in your cuppa, then drain the mug and end up with a mouthful of flabby doughy disintegrated biscuity goo? That's exactly what this instant "cappucino" is like. AVOID.
