Purchased this instead of my regular instant espresso and the taste is “off”. I can not pinpoint what is different but after multiple attempts, the coffee tastes rotten

The ONLY instant espresso!
I am the biggest fan of Cafe Bustelo instant espresso! It is the Swiss arm knife of coffee! I love it hot, cold, mixed in protein drinks, black, with cream, with sugar… it’s so easy to make it stronger or lighter depending on how tired I am. It’s so simple to make on mornings my eyes aren’t quite awake, and it always (as the kids say) slaps! There is no other instant espresso that even belongs in the same category as Bustelo. I don’t often take time to review products, but I needed to seek it out to say how amazing this coffee is! As an overnight nurse, we keep a jar handy to get us through the long, exhausting shifts. Thank you for making such a great product. I want to tell the whole world, but I don’t want it to fly off the shelves!

Daily dose
I bought this on sales. I was hesitate because I thought espresso was stronger than regular coffee. I am disappointed because it does taste like coffee at all. I’m returning it. It taste strange. Nothing like coffee.

Excellent Cup of Coffee
I'm a coffee snob. I worked at Starbucks for seven years. After I tried this instant espresso, I sold my espresso machine. It's rich and satisfying. I like that I can adjust the strength by using more or less.

Best instant espresso
One of the best instant espressos out there. I use a one to one ratio for a more rich taste and my lattes come out perfect every time!

The Best Instant Coffee!
I wanted to see if there was a decent instant coffee, so I tried all the major brands. I would never use any of them again except for two brands that were surprisingly good. This was one of them. (The other one is much more expensive. A single serving was almost the cost of a whole jar of Café Bustelo, so that one wasn’t going to work for me.) This is the one I recommend. It actually taste like real coffee! (FYI - the company that makes Café Bustelo also makes Pilon instant coffee. They are both the same formula and equally as good.)

Too good to last...
They changed it! Not only is the taste not what it used to be, now it does something strange to the back of my throat making it feel scratchy whenever I swallow the coffee. My throat was 100% fine, then I took a sip from a batch with the expiration "JAN 05 2028." Each swallow made the back of my throat feel as if I were swallowing some kind of liquid microscopic nano sand paper. Now, I know I'm super sensitive than most, so this might slip under the radar to the masses who still drink this coffee and can't tell the flavor and feel changes that I can. I am so disgusted that I have to find a new coffee after drinking Bustello Instant for sooo long. This was the only coffee I drank. And now I have to find another. I'll probably switch to an organic coffee so I don't run into this freakish problem with another brand. I am more sad than I am mad, though. I know companies sometimes feel they have to make changes they don't necessarily want to make in order to keep their prices to the customers low, and I guess I can appreciate that, as times are tough on us all. But this was a terrible move, Bustello. Other batch information on the package: JAN 05 2028 6005519 01 15:11

I was excited to try this, but was disappointed from the moment I opened the jar. It doesn’t even smell like coffee-it has an odd chemical smell. The taste was similarly odd-there was not even a hint of coffee/espresso taste. I’ll be returning it today.
