Moccona has a pleasant first impression, with a plummy sweetness that hints at more complexity than typical instant or hotel coffee.
However, as the sip progresses, the initial appeal fades, and astringency and bitterness take center stage. The finish leans rubbery and lingers a bit too long, leaving an aftertaste that doesn't invite another cup.
It likely includes a dose of robusta, which may contribute to this harsher profile. While it's a step up from certain bland brews, Moccona's somewhat distracting finish and lack of depth make generic hotel coffee feel more satisfying by comparison.
I think instant has moved beyond this, but there will be some that find this reminiscent of the Nescafe/Folgers/DE classics.
