Nescafé instant coffee is a brand of instant coffee, meaning it is made from dried coffee extract and requires only hot water to make a cup of coffee. It is produced by Nestlé, the world's largest food and beverage company.

History:

- The origins of Nescafé date back to 1930 when the Brazilian government asked Nestlé to find a way to preserve the surplus coffee beans they had.
