Nescafe® Memento™ Review and Giveaway!

I’ve been fortunate to attend a few different blogging events including BlogHer ’12 back in the end of summer. It’s a great way to connect with fellow bloggers and to learn more about various brands. Nescafe® Memento™

was there and I was instantly drawn to them. After all, they were showcasing a coffee product!

I was given the opportunity to sample Nescafe®  

Memento™ which only hit the shelves this past September ’12. It was a treat!

Perks: 

Flavor

“The Specialty Coffee Beverage” as it’s called has a frothy foamy top reminiscent of expensive beverages at the fancy coffee shops. I sipped the Caramel Latte flavor on a frosty day while blogging wrapped up in a warm blanket. I felt like I had just concocted a warm homemade drink it was so good! It was rich and creamy. The foaminess really enhanced the experience. A few days later I sampled the Mocha flavor and that really fulfilled my obsession for chocolate! The only flavor I wasn’t too crazy about was the Cappuccino. It was little strong for my taste. I prefer something a little sweeter which is why the Mocha or Caramel tasted so good to me.

Convenience

Nescafe® Memento™ is housed in slender packets that can easily be slipped in your purse or work bag and stored in your file cabinet at work. When you are in need of a caffeine kick just open up the package and pour it into a 10 oz. mug. Then add 8 oz. of hot water and stir (be careful that the water isn’t too hot!)

Price

At Couponing 4 a Difference my goal is to save you money which is why I can get behind this product. The standard retail price is $4.29 for a box of 8 which breaks down to .54 per cup! You can’t beat that unless you find a cup of coffee for free!

The downside:

Keep in mind that Nescafe® Memento™ is labeled as a “Specialty Coffee Beverage” which means that there are other ingredients besides natural ingredients. Some of the things that stood out to me were hydrogenated vegetable oil, glucose syrup, and corn syrup. Additionally, each serving is 100 calories which compared to some of the high price coffee drinks at fancy coffee shops may be pretty low, but is way more than just plain coffee which is 2 calories according to CalorieKing.

Giveaway!

Sample Nescafe® Memento™ for yourself. I am giving away a box of Nescafe Memento® with eight 8oz. packets of the Mocha flavor along with 5 coupons for Nestle’s® Coffee-Mate Natural Bliss®, an all-natural coffee creamer to compliment your Nescafe® Memento drink, and a coaster! Here are a few chances to win. The more you do the better your chances of winning.
