Nescafé Red Mug

Better than an expensive machine – I got this machine for $49.00 on sale at Big W, its original price was $99.00. It was so appealing because of the price, small appliance and use of normal coffee (I use Robert Timms and Moccono) at the moment because these 2 can come on a great special. I wasn't expecting much from this machine and thought maybe it was just a gimmick and I'd… Read more

regret buying it but thought I'd give it a go for the price.

I have previously owned a nearly $2000.00 Saeco machine which ended up having trouble with digital display and was going to cost more than machine to fix it (Also it was a pain in the backside to clean) So I was so cross with myself and vowed never to buy another coffee machine again. That is until this one! I use it every single day, it does not taste like a normal coffee and I have worked it out to a tee. I put 2 teaspoons of skim milk powder in and stir it with a tad of filtered water so I have no lumps. I let it do the froth 2 times, then I do the coffee until it just reaches the handle of the cup it comes with. I leave the cup there as there is a few drips of coffee still and then clean it with damp towelling everytime where the coffee comes out.

I love this machine and love how you have layers in the glass that look professional. I wouldn't hesitate to buy one for a present as it's fabulous!

The only thing I need now is more glasses that it came with.

Great environmentally friendly way of making frothed coffee – I always wondered why there couldnt be a machine that would make a frothed coffee from instant coffee. This machine has done just that! While I like the design of the machine and the final product it produces, it's fairly basic. Cleaning and storage is easy. I will agree that it has a bit of learning curve (took me about 4 or 5 cups before… Read more

I got the taste that I like). Part of the learning is frothing the milk just right, and adding the right amount of coffee and water. Too much frothing may water down the coffee and cause it to overflow. Add exactly the same amount of instant coffee as you would when making 1 cup of normal coffee.

The other thing is it does not have a set and forget mode for making a cup of coffee! it needs you to actively watch the flashing light on the machine to make sure the frothing is perfect, the amount of water added is correct and there is no overflow. I wish they could have given the user the option of setting the number of steam shots thru milk and water thru the coffee powder so that it was all automated!

Love it! Cafe style coffee from instant ground coffee and foamy hot chocolate – I've had this machine for about 2 weeks now and really love it. The coffee tastes really great (depending on which brand you buy) and the milk comes out perfectly foamy every single time. To operate it's as simple as filling the 900ml water jug, turning the power on and then using the top switch to decide on foamy milk or just a straight coffee… Read more

shot.

I even use it to foam the milk for a hot chocolate. Don't try and put the chocolate powder in the coffee holder, it doesn't work at all. Just put the chocolate in your mug and add milk then heat and foam with the machine.

The coffee area pulls apart for easy cleaning but I have only had to clean it once so far. The machine does a hot water purge after the coffee so it really cleans itself.

My only negative is that you have to watch it pretty closely, it overfills your cup if you don't turn the switch off again. It's not completely automatic and you can't set the machine to fill to a specific volume.

It only comes in red as well.

Perfect! Easy coffee – This product is amazing! Frothy coffee just the way i like it and whats more it only takes two minutes to make! Easy to clean, easy to maintain and quite portable! Show details

Best Coffee machine I have ever bought – Absw love the machine and the quality. It is a must buy for anyone who drinks instant coffee. It filters the coffee through its little funnel and creates a more smoother texture, also has a built in milk froather that heats your milk to make a smoother coffee. The temperature is always perfect and consistent Because of the smoother coffee… Read more

people tend to have less sugar in their coffee. I have converted a lot of people who hated the idea of it and now they love it.

Extremely average machine – This is an extremely average machine if you are a coffee lover. We were given it and having used it (only a few times) I would never buy one. Basically it attempts to dress up instant but really ! Instant tastes like instant no matter what you do to it. Cannot recommend  Show details

Tastes like Nescafe – I was expecting the texture of the coffee will be very good and the taste will not be so bad as well, however, it disappoints me as this is exactly what a nescafe tastes like, but for someone that do not have high expectations on coffee like my brother, this will be so convenient for them And to be honest, it’s pretty easy to use and it’s ok to buy it due to the price  Show details

Novelty item – I got given this at work and in all honesty it a novelty item designed to advertise Nescafe. Nescafe is Nescafe! It is what it is and frothing it up can't change the basic taste. We did run it afew times and it does work as it's supposed to, but there is very limited amount you can do with Nescafe to start with and nothing can hide that taste. If you are a coffee lover from Melbourne, don't even bother!  Show details

Best coffee machine ever made – I can't understand why this coffee machine was discontinued. Best coffee machine ever. Mine has given up and now I'm saddened by the fact I can't get another one. Please make more. Please please please. Show details

Not bad – I was lucky enough to get this on a markdown for $20 as it wasn’t in a box. I actually don’t mind it. I find the milk froths better if you use powdered milk in the dispenser and maybe add two teaspoons of coffee as it tastes quite watery. I love my coffee and this is a bit of a novelty to have a coffee similar to a cappuccino. Looks nice in the kitchen not real bulky  Show details

Love this mug – My wife purchased the Nescafe Red mug from BigW few months back as she new I was looking for coffee machine without pods. I tried as soon as after unboxing it and tried my first coffee from the mug and you won't believe what, it taste much much better. One of the main things I like about this machine is, I can use my choice of coffee powder.… Read more

Cleaning takes only 2 minutes.

Frothing works amazingly. It gives more for less price.

And ya, very small and handy.

My wife made a right choice.

Coffee lover – I received nescafe red mug as a present and i love it. It taste great and being able to make a cappuccino at home is awesome,so simple to use and just as easy to clean. No need to buy pods,no extra costs. Since receiving the nescafe red cup machine even my daughter has bought one for herself,now i can have a lovely coffee at her house too.  Show details

love love love – HI to all,Love love this little machine...would not have bought as I thought just a instant coffee. got one as a gift NOW USE ALL THE TIME. ALL our friends love and have bought one as well. .I use full cream powdered milk froth with hot water, I give this a stir to make sure milk is dissolved then turn on the coffee. wall-la our coffee is almost to hot to drink, Like mama bear we leave a few min.  Show details

Improvement over Nescafe – This machine - It makes a deluxe version of Nescafe instant coffee. It does a remarkable job, but its still nescafe instant coffee at the end of the day. I quite like it and still use it from time to time. I tied doing what some suggest and putting milk in it, which was great but you need to flush it out afterwards and it got a bit messy. Its a good half way point between a cafe coffee and instant. BTW the machine itself is actually very tiny!  Show details

Good But Got Over It – I was given this as a gift and by chance I already had the Nescafe mug, so I have the whole set. I used it a lot at first and found that, yes, it is pretty good and a definite step up from your standard cup of Nescafe but no where near adcent cafe latte - that just ain't happening. It easy to use but a little fiddly and more recently I don't really use it for these reasons. Its good but perhaps more of a novelty/ promotional item by Nescafe  Show details

Not amazing as I thought – Yes absolutely happy with the taste but not easy to use as it is troublesome to fill the water into the compartment in the back. I didn’t get the coaster like thing to place my mug although it is mentioned in the box. So many coffee spills all over the place.. not easy to clean  Show details

Necafe Trying To Be Fancy :) – This is a funny machine. Its half way between a cafe coffee and halfway a good old cup of Nescafe. It makes blend 43 coffe into a sort of latte. It actually works a lot better than you would expect and is tiny in size. I was given mine and although I thought I didn't want it, have found myself using it and quite enjoying it.  Show details

Make A Great Cuppa – This is so clever. It turns boring old Nescafe in lattes (sort of). Its actually a very small and compact machine and its perfectly made to match with the Nescafe red mugs. You fill up the water, heat it up and bang - instant coffee becomes a whole lot more. I like this way more than I though I would when the wife bought it. Its actually pretty good.  Show details

Good But Limited To Instant Coffee – This is an excellent little machine. Its tiny in size and does a fantastic job of fancying up a humble cup of instant coffee. Let be frank - it is nowhere as good as a proper cafe coffee but it is way better than just a cup of instant on its own. I think its more of a novelty than something I will have in a years time but its a good enough little machine for now.  Show details

Works Beautifully – We got the cups first then we got the machine. What a treat to have cafe coffee every day from out own machine. I just love that it can do this with normal Nescafe and not having to buy pods.It took a few goes to get the hang of the milk frother but I am all over it now. The only improvement I can think of is it would be good if the coffee come out a bit hotter but apart from that it is an awesome machine.  Show details

This is convenient – I have to drink a cup of coffee every morning and i want to have a good quality coffee, so I usually buy that in a coffee shop, however, i think that will cost a lot if i buy that every day So I bought this, and this is really easy to use and it is sooo convenient All you have to do is just fill in some water and a capsule, and a nice coffee will be ready for you  Show details

Some of the capsules are too sweet for me – I am overall happy with this product, i think the price is reasonable and it also looks good in red. However, i tasted a few different kind of flavour and find out some of them is really sweer for me e.g chocolate with an rabbit on it and chai latte  Show details

It tastes good – I bought this this year as they was doing promotion. I used to drink a cup of coffee at coffee shop every morning but now i can have it at home and i can try different flavour everyday. But i think some of them is really sweet e.g chai latte so I will not buy that from now on And this machine is easy to use and wash And u dont even have to wash it U only have to fill some cold water in Hope this will help  Show details

Works a treat – I bought this for hubby and while i don’t drink coffee he says it’s awesome! It takes a few goes to master and find the right balance for you so don’t give up the first time if it doesn’t taste quite right. It’s easy to clean and the best part just uses normal coffee granules I.e we use maccona or nescafe gold (we are trying to move away from all the pods in landfill). Big W has them on half price every now and again so wait for the bargain :)  Show details

Great Coffee Machine – I am very pleased with this neat machine. It sits on my bench and any time I have guest over or feel like a quality cuppa, I just start it up in and in no time I have a lovely cup of coffee. Its very easy to use and the only maintenance is adding water to the tank and emptying the drip tray. The best thing is that it uses normal instant coffee so there is no fussing around with pods or ground. It's a great machine  Show details

Nifty coffee machine – I like the Nescafe Red Mug coffee machine a lot it definitely improves the taste of instant coffee. There is a stronger and rich flavor rather then the traditional way of using just hot water or milk in a mug. also the froth ability of this machine is alright but I hardly use it.  Show details

loved it – good product, Bought it from an ebay seller " secure-shopping-with-theone" great product at great price. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED THIS PRODUCT does not require Coffee capsules just blend powdered 43 coffee works like charm. has a good built in frother which works great. its definitely a small little coffee machine with great features. shout out to ebay seller: secure-shopping-with-theone thanks  Show details

Im very happy with it – Ive wanted one of these for awhile and got one when it was on special . Im happy with it have only made 5 cups and are just getting use to it but ive found its better to make the coffee first then the froff easy-to-use and clean as im the only one useing it ive cleaned it after 2 cups not everytime thats recommended  Show details

Love it! – I use this machine for all drinks. Just put in your choice of drink(tea bag, hot choc, coffee) in themug and go with the hot water/frother...done in seconds love it love it. Very easy to wipe down/clean. Very easy to use. Easy to read manual. I brought 2 as they were on sale.  Show details

Good way to make coffee – I love nescafe red mug because I can make the "cafe style" coffee. It is very easy to use, although it takes sometime for me to learn how to use it properly. It is also easy to clean, the parts can be removed and clean thoroughly. I use nescafe coffee and it worked well. Also, because it doesn't use pod so the waste is very minimal. Love it and still use it everyday until now.  Show details
