Carte Noire Instinct Review

In February Carte Noire  introduced something special for coffee lovers - the first Wholebean Instant to its range. I was keen to try it and Chris loving the wholebean instant style coffee was also keen. He regularly gets out the cafetiere or the Lavazza machine out on weekend mornings, but has to go for instant in the week as he is up at 5am and has a long journey to work, so everything is done with as much speed as possible.

Yesterday morning however, he had a lovely treat. The coffee comes in a canister there is also a pouch to refill as I opened it a lovely coffee house aroma filled my nose. I think for me the scent is as pleasing as the taste and the Instinct has a great rich aroma.


Chris used two teaspoons of the coffee and I used one for mine,
Carte Noire Instinct tastes like ground coffee. I found it smooth on the tongue which was curious as the taste is strong, it leaves a lovely aftertaste plus a satisfying trail of grounds in the cup at the end.
Chris loved it and went straight for a second cup.

I know that coffee connoisseurs may find the idea of instant not to their taste, but for us it was a lovely coffee moment and one we will be repeating often.

If you are quick Carte Noire are giving you a chance to try a free sample on their facebook page, see below!

New Carte Noire Instinct is a Wholebean Instant coffee, meaning all the qualities of finely milled roasted coffee beans have been captured and combined with Carte Noire's finest instant coffee to create a deliciously silky and deeply aromatic cup of coffee that will seduce your palate with every sip.
Simply add one to two spoonfuls to your cup, mix with hot water just off the boil, then sit back, enjoy a me-time moment and be seduced by the distinctive taste of Carte Noire Instinct.
