FIVE STARS ARE NOT ENOUGH FOR THIS SUPERB COFFEE – This instant coffee was in a class of its own. No other brand could match it for its intense flavour. Did the harvest fail? Why else would you withdraw it from the market? Please, please resume selling it. Show details ·  1

Best Coffee EVER – WHY, WHY, WHY is this being discontinued, the best coffee on the market and you take it away. This needs a rethink, why not bring it back and make a lot of customers happy, rather than lose customers to another brand???????????? You really dont know what a negative decision this has been, we have always been nescafe, but looks like we will now be moving over to 'THE OTHER SIDE'. Show reply

Why did they change? – What has happened to old Nescafe Gold Smooth barista style coffee? Really enjoyed it and the new replacement one is woeful! Really disappointing. As everyone else mentioned, why change?

Barista style smooth v it’s replacement – Nescafé Barista style smooth was, for me, the perfect in between coffee. Better than an instant and cheaper than buying a coffee machine. It was the best instant coffee I had ever bought. Hands down. Once again though the bean counters ( pun intended) have ruined a perfect brand. What did you do? Hire the people who changed Cadbury’s chocolate?… Read more

Or the genius who changed Arnotts Shapes? Whatever you did I believe you need to fix this ridiculous mistake. One things for sure if you don’t, I’ll not be buying it’s replacement again! I bought it. Tried it. Binned it and went out and bought coffee grounds and put my percolator back to work.

I CANT BELIEVE NESCAFÉ HAS CHANGED THE FORMULA – I LOVED the Barista style smooth and now they have changed its packaging and FORMULA- it’s TERRIBLE now ! The flavour has changed for the worst and the packaging needs to go back to a tin. Big mistake !! Sorry Nescafé you got it so wrong - the only problem with the Barista style was the high price not the formula- it tastes cheap now

Please bring it back – This was by far and away the best instant coffee on the market-no other brand could touch it so why has it been discontinued? I've tried countless others including others by Nescafe but nothing comes close.

Shock , Horror. .....It is Discontinued – You want me to be objective? O K This is objectively the finest instant micro ground coffee that was on the market. My wife would drink nothing else .

Why oh why have you discontinued this coffee – This is the best instant coffee I’ve ever found. Why withdraw it when there is nothing to touch it. The roastery collection is not a patch on it. So disappointed. Show details ·  1

Amazing Coffee – I ran out of my usual coffee and had to resort to a sachet my sister had given me of Nescafe Gold Smooth Barista coffee. I was immediately enamoured and couldn't wait to go and buy a jar of this amazing coffee. Imagine my huge disappointment to find that it has been discontinued. I am hoping that it will be produced again in the future.

No longer available?? – This became my favourite coffee. Better than the few other brands of mixed blend with beans. Even better than the Moccona I've been drinking most of my life. Bring it back please.

I am devastated – I have only just discovered that Nescafé have discontinued the Barista Smooth instant coffee and I am devastated. This was by far THE best tasting instant coffee on the market. I bought the new Gold original in the big tin thinking it might be similar but unfortunately it tastes like dishwater. Nescafé please consider bringing back your best… Read more

coffee ever. I so enjoyed barista style coffee and without the Nescafé Smooth I am now forced to change brands. I say that having been a loyal Nescafé drinker for over 20 years. A few reviews have recommended Moccona's barista range so I will try that. Bring back the Barista Nescafe!

Check your nearest Reject Shop – Quality product. Unimpressed it was discontinued. I then found it on the shelves at The Reject Shop today. 190g tins priced at $10. Exp. 05/2019. I'll be stocking up!

Better than $3.50 cap - now gone?? – Googled 'Nescafe Barista Style' as couldn't be located anywhere only to see this review site to find, to my disappointment, that it's discontinued. Just tried 'Intense Gold' but no where near as good.
