How is this new (brown) hazelnut coffee/packaging different from the usual orange looking hazelnut coffee/packaging?

Oops, looks like I did order this but I got the old packaging hazelnut so I didn't notice anything different.

I am so disappointed in the new recipe. I loved the previous one. It is now strong with a horrible bitter aftertaste. I tried watering it down but nothing takes away the bitter aftertaste. Why would the company choose to ruin a good thing as I am sure many customers will not buy again. I bought two boxes and plan to return the unopened one to the store.

I've only bought the Hazelnut coffee (which I love) in the old packaging. It seems that the new 2015 package contains a stronger coffee which, some say, has a bitter aftertaste. However, I can't say first hand.

The new recipe is AWFUL. Bitter, chalky aftertaste, no hazelnut flavor. Yuck. Which dumbass at Nescafe thought the recipe change was a good idea?

I bought the old style 8 pack on 09/20/14. When I wanted it again last Friday, I just clicked on "Buy it again". It showed the same (orange) packets. When it arrived yesterday, it had a "new look" and the formula has been changed. Now I have 8 boxes of some of the foulest tasting coffee I've ever had. There is no Hazelnut flavor at all. If you are going to show the old packaging to sell it, you should deliver the old product. I will never buy Tasters Choice again, or probably any food product from Amazon.

It is absolutely gross and bitter now. I had been using it since it was originally produced. They ruined it. There is no hazelnut taste. Some moron with no palate made this decision.

I agree with most of the reviews. Yuck and no hazelnut flavor. Also stuck with 8 boxes.

They used to sell it in a plastic jar like other instant coffees, not individual packets. It was FAR LESS EXPENSIVE that way - like a fraction of the cost (5x). I find the individual packets fine for travelling, but when I'm at home I don't need individual packets. I'd rather use a spoon and scoop the coffee out of the jar like any other instant coffee. Environmentally, the little packets are just generating trash unnecessarily. I wish they would go back to the jar. The jar is what they stopped offering.

Taster's Choice changed the blend. It has a different taste now. It's stronger, with a pronounced aftertaste. I don't like it, personally. But the packaging is essentially the same -- 20 packets per box. But where you might have used 2 per mug, now you can use one. (Or none, in my case.)

When I bought it, it arrived in the Nespresso box not protected by a amazon box on the outside. The corner of the box where the two sides came together and were glued shut was busted open. Additionally, the top wasn't even taped closed or anything. I was shocked really because Amazon always takes such good care when packaging items. As for the origin, I don't know.

It's funny. I had to google espresso vs. walnut and then take a good look at them to decide. They're really neither, but if I had to choose, I'd say they lean more towards walnut - a dark walnut color.

Hi! I'm a frequent buyer of black cocoa (Blommer, King Arthur, Jellybean, Frontier, et al) and I can tell you that the thumbnail image on this page is indeed inaccurate. The "Jet Black" cocoa sold here by Blommer is definitely black due to intensified Dutching. Ignore that little picture and enjoy your black brownies in peace! :-)

it is nescafe clasico (Spanish for classic) dark roasted, the bottle is different from the one shown but I opened it today and the coffee was the same as the one I always order. Hope I answered your question :)

I looked back at the picture shown and it isn't quite "that" espresso. It may take on a bit of a cherry tone, but also not true cherry. I hope that makes sense!

I don't know what photo you are looking at so I don't have an answer to that question. However, what I can tell you is that the color is a fairly standard shade of BROWN and exactly what you would expect out of this color; coffee, chocolate, chestnut etc. etc. I don't think you will be surprised when you see it.

It's basically Nescafe instant coffee with mct oil added, so not organic. I have not true the vanilla, but do like the convenience.

Yes, it is one of the best decaf coffees we have ever tried. I believe that the packaging has something to do with the results as the filament lets more of the liquid pass through it.

Several shades darker than white...the color of coffee with triple cream. Hazelnut creamer is almost the exact shade. Put white tee over it...warm, soft.

The exterior of the bean is glossy but not really oily. However, I have noticed a lack of consistency of the roast a bit from order to order, I just make slight brewing adjustments. Still very happy with the coffee. RM

Mine came packaged together in a box as a bundle and it came with a sampling of coffee, However the were both independently packaged inside the box so they could have been separately gifted. I ordered mine in September 2013 so unless the packaging has changed it should be the same way

It's a very dark brown/cherry. Not an Espresso black/brown if that's what you're looking for.

I have never noticed any thing like that on the outside of the box but I have never looked either. It just comes in a big generic brown box. I have another one on its way I will pay attention and try to re answer the question when it get here.

Well, every part is plastic, and is in touch with the brewing coffee the whole time. IMO, this does not affect the flavor and/or quality of the coffee.

The manufacturer calls it "Cappuccino". It is a true chocolate brown. It's dark, but not so dark as to appear black.
