UCC The Blend 117 Instant Coffee, Instant Black Coffee, Rich Flavor, Imported from Japan, 3.17 Oz (90 g), Pack of 1

Smooth and tasty. Better than some drip, and most instant

With the price of Mellow Birds coffee becoming so expensive I was on the hunt for a smooth tasting coffee. I found this Japanese blend 114 super smooth, Mellow with no bitter aftertaste. Delicious!

good, but not worth the extra price.

Fantastic coffee. Amazed by the flavor and aroma of this coffee. Very smooth. Would purchase again. The glass jars is also very nice and I love the stylish easy twist off lid. A nice jar to repurpose.

I was very excited to receive this one as i read many reviews on it, mostly positive. I've tried tons of instant coffee on my quest to make the perfect iced coffee at home utilizing instant coffee, half and half, and ice. I would definitely recommend this coffee. Very robust but smooth and packed with that coffee flavor that i love. This is not my favorite so far but it's delicious and worth buying.

I found this coffee from reading all of someone else’s funny reviews for all the stuff they bought on Amazon. He said this was great coffee and it is. It is a bit spendy and it isn’t a huge bottle but it is very good. It doesn’t taste bitter or burnt like instant coffees from the grocery store. It might have been $18, ekk even if it was $14 that is still a lot. It is Japanese and it is very good. It contains 45, 1tsp servings in the container. If you ever buy a latte out, skip that 2 or 3 times and buy this. It has a very smooth taste and I put 2-3 heaping teaspoons of the coffee and some soy milk and the soy milk does not curdle like it would with a Nescafé instant and it still tastes good. There is no bitterness or acidity. Smooth like butter!

If cost were no concern to me, then this would probably be the only instant coffee I would consume. It's not overly bitter like nearly every other brand of instant coffee I've tried in the past. I would place it a tier above regular drip coffee, but below pour-over. On a side note: I really wish UCC's Sumiyaki whole coffee beans were more accessible in western markets.

Value for money is not high.
