Bru Ice Cappuccino

Bru’s latest instant coffee is bound to be a hit with coffee lovers. Available in four flavors – Irish crème, Mocha berg, Berry Blast, and Chocomint, in single serve sachets of 24 gms each and priced at for Rs 15/-each, there is a flavor for everyone.

All you need to do is empty the sachet into a glass of chilled water (170ml)and voila, your delicious, iced cappuccino is ready. Though it was disappointingly flat, and not as frothy as it is shown to be in the advertisement or on the sachet.

The basic coffee is balanced just right with it being neither too strong, nor weak and the additional flavoring is subtly perfect too. I personally love all 4 flavors.
But Berry Blast, which was a wonderful surprise with the delicious aftertaste of sweet berries that delicately spreads in your mouth as you sip the first mouthful of coffee and then lingers for a while, was an instant favorite. I mean, who would have imagined that the fragile flavor of berries would taste so good with the robust taste of coffee!
Chocomint, was my other favorite, because I am a big everything-that-is-mint-flavored fan. Chocomint too had the same effect, with the subtle flavor of mint staying behind after I had taken my last sip.
Irish crème was lovely and the flavoring was slightly stronger in this one, with the almost-whiskey flavor dominating the coffee.
Mochaberg was good. Just your usual cappuccino.

The sachets are colorful and attractively packaged. Very few shops sell single sachets, as it is usually available in a box of 5, all the same flavor.
