I have been a loyal customer of Moccona Coffee for 40 years or more. I have always loved a great strong black coffee with the crema on top and I use to get this from Moconna. I would always be a 2 teaspoons of coffee to a large cup. 1 Now it’s watery no crema with no taste. I did read that they use the cheapest coffee, and now it doesn’t tell you… Read more
what beans, in just says coffee beans, no country of origin for the beans, but really, the left overs from the factory. I also drink the decaf as I love the taste of coffee, but I’m not the able to consume more than 2 cups a day. Please you have already nearly doubled the price because of the damage by the weather we all know it will never go down in price again once this happens. Now you expect us to pay double the price for a watered down product think again PLEASE !
I have been buying Maccona coffee for a few years now and lately am finding it tastes burnt! and even smells burnt and the “Intense 11” was my favourite but now it also tastes and smells burnt and is WAY darker in colour…i think i’m going to have to change my brand of coffee! i really don’t know what you’re doing but your coffee now sucks!

Moccona Rich 9 was a really good instant coffee. However I agree with other reviewers that Moccona appears to have changed the formula and it now is nothing special. Burnt, flat flavour. Did Moccona think we wouldn't notice? Will have to see what else is out there. Show details

Dreadful - Zero stars – I changed away from Marconna when they changed the formula last time. Then they went back to similar to their old taste and I returned. Now, Marconna have changed again. Tastes bitter and like dirt. I’m giving up on Marconna. If you change the taste, red flag the jar. If it’s not the same, you can’t just put it in the same jar. I was ripped off… Read more
last time, and now ripped off again. I buy this stuff 6 x 400g jars at a time when on special. Marconna, wake up!!
Fungi on moccona stick – My camera is not good enough but under microscope that I am using at work they are hairy living things that you called fungi. is this secret ingredient of Moccona? We have hundreds and hundreds of moccona stick, I showed it to my workmates with disgusted remarks. Show details
have also been getting weird mold... or webs... idk what it is – I also got the floaters people have been complaining about. First time that it's happened to me, but this will probably make me switch brands, or grind my own coffee :/ Instant coffee usually doesnt clump like this out of the bottle...
Spider like fuzz in jar – Have white spider like fuzz all though the coffee, contacted moccona they said something went wrong with jar fine to drink it! looks like mound, Didn’t even offer for a new jar rubbish
Positive reviews
Bitter but good and rich taste – It has a smooth, rich flavour that's perfect for starting my day on the right note. I love the convenience of making a perfect cup every time, and it's become a staple in my morning routine.
What rubbish coffee if it is even coffee – A puff of coffee aroma at bag opening, then drinking dirt. Blindfolded nobody would identify as coffee… cause it’s not. I expect to smell coffee and have coffee flavour as I am drinking. Nothing but dirt! Bad is not the word. Show details
Quite nice – I bought a jar of Moccona Classic no.5 medium roast last week and suprisingly it was quite nice. It wasn't bitter at all and actually tastes like decent instant coffee. I don't know if Moccona has changed something because I bought one last year and it tasted terrible that I threw it out. I have tried pretty much all the brands including Coles Organic, Nescafe, Robert Timms and the other Mocconna varieties but I like no.5 the most. Show details
Negative reviews
Deceptive – An absolute waste of money and wished I had checked the reviews before purchase. Moccona started going downhill a few years ago and I stopped buying it. My first jar in years and now my last. The numbers are deceptive as according to customer service the11 Intense is not stronger than the 9 which is the original. Customer service agent who was… Read more
impatient and with poor communication skills just wouldn't listen properly and sounded as if she was reading from a script.BAD all-round!
Not like it use to be – Moccona Coffee has been my favourite for years my partner and I until recently. It doesn't seem to dissolve as good in the hot water and milk anymore. The taste seem to have changed too. Have they recently changed their formula? We are now trying other brands to find something better as Moccona isn't like it use to be so they have lost 2 customers. $28 for this coffee ain't worth it anymore.

Moccona classic Burnt Coffee – Moccona used to taste great a nice creamy almost caramel flavour but the last jar I bought (400g) tastes like burnt coffee first time I've ever tasted burnt coffee just horrible now I'm throwing $28 in the bin Show details

$$$$ galore – $28.00 for a jar of coffee is ridiculous. Price has gone up too much. Oh look and 4 months later it's gone up another $5 . Now $33 at Woolworths. Show details
Bottle cap is too hard to open – Why is it so hard to open the cap of the bottle? I will never buy this coffee again because of the tight lid. Old people and women cannot open the lid easily. Show details
Moccona... Why ruin a good thing – I have purchased two jars a 400gm and 200gm of Moccona classic 5 medium roast recently and both are terrible. Not the usual taste, flavour, crema body or texture. It has a foul kind of bitter burnt taste to it. The coffee is not quite right. Which makes you not want to drink it. Left with unpleasant granules, coffee grinds, shell or grit in the… Read more
bottom of cup. Not a clean instant dissolvable cup of coffee. Won't be buying again, don't like drinking grit. Complaint to Moccona was pointless. Fix the problem or loose a lot of coffee customers.
Tastes burnt with a bitter aftertaste – I bought a 200g jar of Moccona Classic 5. Was so looking forward to enjoying the usual enjoyable cup of coffee. Yuck!! My husband and I both commented on the smell, not a nice fresh smell, but smelt burnt. The taste was also bitter and burnt, with a horrible aftertaste. The grains looks different to normal too, not a uniform size, but some small… Read more
and grainy. So disappointed. Moccona what have you changed? Your recipe is definitely different. Will not be purchasing again.
Last purchase of Moccona coffee – This coffee has lost its taste completely. It is a bland no taste blend in all categories. Many years of purchase now ended. No coffee scent and flavour dreadful. Show details
Hazelnut Mocha – I bought the new sachets of the above coffee (from Woolworths St Clair NSW, Australia. merchant ID 611000602001140 on 26/09/2023), did you guys just skim across the top of the coffee with the hazelnut? It was just like drinking a Mocha Coffee, bitterly disappointed with this. You used to sell the Hazelnut sachets which I must say were very… Read more
yummy, but then you decided to stop the sachets and put it in the jars of coffee, never been the same, so hence I have changed to Nescafe Hazelnut and it is creamy and very tasty. Thought I would try your sachets again............nope back to Nescafe Kathleen
Stinks and Tastes Awful! – What on earth has happened to this coffee? I thought I'd treat myself to some Moccona (no.8) when it was on special after using a cheaper brand for the last six months. However, my first cup of Moccona was an absolute shocker. First, the smell was terrible, but that was nothing compared to the taste - yuck! I don't know what I'm going to do with 400g of this stuff. I feel like taking it back to the store. My Moccona days are over. Show details
Was made nice, now for profit – I've been using Moccona for over 12 years after changing from nescafe gold. This was after there change. I dont want to look for new coffee. Show details

Dirt in a gold jar – Taste like absolute poo any home brand, coffee is cheaper and is better than this stuff I hope more Australians wake up and stop wasting there hard earned money on this nonsense Overpriced and glorified poo in a jar
Awful taste and texture – How difficult is it to make instant coffee that doesn't taste like dishwater. Moccona should be trying to create a better product instead of wasting their money on frivolous litigation. I like Nescafe and Robert Timms. I think I will give Vittoria instant coffee a try. Thanks Moccona legal department. Show details
Awful – Suing Vittoria coffee. Why? Because their coffee is brilliant and in a jar supposedly similar to yours. Please!. The only good thing about Moccona is the stupid jar because the coffee is awful it's like drinking dish water. A coffee I used to absolutely adore and you ruined it all for money. You don't listen to your customers at all. We wanted… Read more
the old Moccona back. So I buy Vittoria coffee because it is amazing. So a jar means nothing if there is no substance. Sore horrid losers Moccona.
Dreadful coffee since our last purchase – Moccona never again! over priced and dreadful to drink now...what happened..I'll choose Nature's Cuppa...or fresh grounded beans over your muck. Show details
Congrats I am changing to Vittoria – Since your multinational parent company is deluded enough to think they hold exclusive rights to glass jars I am going to switch to an Australian owned coffee brand.
Worst coffee I have ever tasted – In disbelief at how bad it is. I’m not even an avid coffee drinker, I think Nescafe gold tastes great. But this is truly disgusting. Tastes like sour, burnt dirt. I made an ice coffee with it and my drink tasted alcoholic — legitimately tasted like there was alcohol in it. This product is truly nasty. And the nerve to put it in a gold labeled jar as if it isn’t garbage. Please do not buy this brand, I won’t be. Show details
more bitter than other coffee and sour aftertaste – i have bought this product and think it will be good. However, I'm dead wrong, I dont know if it just me or what but when i drink this coffee, i taste the unpleasant bitterness and it has a strong sour aftertaste. I also tried different composition to alter the taste but the results is mostly the same. Guys, buy other coffee please. Show details
bitter and burnt taste – I bought a jar of classic no. 5 last week and it would have to be the worst coffee I have ever tasted. I chose it because I have had maccona in the past and have found it to be very good coffee. I can't understand why a good product would be ruined like this. I will be throwing the rest of the jar out. It has a strong burnt taste and is very bitter. I won't buy again. The cheapest coffee tastes better than this rubish. Regards Show details
