Share a Cafecito & Everyday Moments with Nescafé Clásico
Being a Latina, coffee has always been a constant in my life. In fact, it is a big part of our culture. In our family, we never go a day without our cafecito. We start our day with one, have one as an afternoon pick-me-up and dinner is almost always followed by a cup. The best part of setting up the table for coffee is the special everyday moments you get to share with your familia or amigos. With NESCAFÉ® CLÁSICO™, you can enjoy a delicious cup while enjoying good company.
In our home, every morning is a guarantee to wake up to the flavorful aroma of fresh coffee. Nescafé Clásico has always been our family’s go-to because of its bold taste. I know that until this day, I can head over to my parent’s house with a bote de Nescafé Clásico and just catch up and chismear because, well, there’s always something going on!
Grab a Jar
Recently, I’ve been on the road a lot for work and staying in a hotel for a couple weeks can jumble your routine a bit. Not when it comes to my café, though. My first stop after checking in was heading to Walmart to pick up the necessities. The most important one being my coffee. I headed straight for the Hispanic aisle and found my Nescafé Clásico right away. I grabbed a small bote and a big jar too to bring back for my parents. I went by the regular coffee aisle and found it there too, just in case you are looking for it. It’s always safe to look in both places!
Walmart is one of my favorite places to shop because not only can I get my café, I can pick up my groceries and basically anything else I need. ¡Tienen de todo! From toys, clothes, office supplies, and anything for the home, it’s a one-stop shop. It makes my life so much easier when I can pick everything up all at once instead of making multiple stops.
While I was away, I was able to enjoy my daily coffee with my husband and that part of my routine did not skip a beat. When I got home, no joke, my first stop was my parents’ house. I arrived bearing gifts of cafecito and postres.
Enjoy Everyday Moments
One thing you may or may not know about us Latinos is that we love our coffee. In fact, we start drinking it when we are young. We were no different, and my parents loved the ease of Nescafé Clásico compared to other coffee brands. A taza de café con leche was a favorite, and my oldest daughter Gabby loves it now. It’s warm or cold milk with a bit of what I think is the best tasting instant coffee: Nescafé Clásico. Add a little sugar and you’re golden. Seriously, it’s so good. Nowadays, depending on my mood, I love my coffee black or with light cream!
I love that familiar yet flavorful and rich taste to this day. It’s always in our pantry without fail because whenever I prepare a cup, it makes me feel at home. I know that it brings our familia together whenever we share it. Familia to us is so incredibly important, and the ability to make every moment a little less unfamiliar is priceless! Whenever company comes over, it’s there ready to bring us together.
So, if you ever come over, you know that I’ll ask you, “¿Te hago un cafecito?”
I brought over some pound cake and coffee. We sat down to just talk about life, the summer, my kids, and any gossip we’ve heard. One of the things that we discussed is Gabby starting high school and the fact that she is becoming quite the young lady. It gave me a chance to get a little advice because I’ve never parented a teen. I was quite the force to reckon with myself. A little rebelde, I admit. Another thing we Latinos love is chismeando. Whether it is about people we know but mostly of the celebrity kind of gossip. We just can’t help it!
Share the Laughter
Going to their Abuelitos’ house is always a treat for the girls. They’re always guaranteed tons of hugs and kisses. It’s a given that they’ll get candy and dollar bills folded and handed to them discreetly. Plus, there’s always a cup of café waiting. It’s nice to sit around the table after enjoying a meal and laugh, talk, and just be together. It’s these special moments that are forever ingrained in my being, and the one common factor is coffee.
It brings us together and it brings us comfort.
The best moments that we share are the times we get together ‘just because’. Not for any specific reason but because we just miss each other. We have a small family, so we don’t go a day without talking and we definitely don’t go too long without getting together. Even when we were back in nuestra patria in El Salvador, we shared moments with our extended family and friends. We are happy to continue to do that here, and a big part of that is because of café instantaneo Nescafé Clásico.

Whenever we get our teen’s full attention and headphone-free, we take advantage. She never turns down a cup of coffee, and it gives us a chance to connect and to see what is going on in her life. With high school starting for her, she’s already requested that I have Nescafé Clásico stocked. Before heading to school, during all-nighters and just for a pick-me-up, we’ve got her back!
For me, I am entering into my busy season, and you can bet that I will have my Nescafé mug filled and filled often. I usually head to my office and my Hubs always brings me a taza of delicious and bold coffee along with a piece of toast and a handwritten note. He is romantic like that, and it makes my day that much better.
Make Moments Happen
Head over to Walmart and make sure to pick up Nescafé Clásico jars. They are available in a 10.5 oz. jar and a 7 oz. jar so you have options. I always go for the 10.5 oz. myself since I love the bold taste and, to me, it’s the best instant coffee because it’s been such a constant in my life.
With a new school year on its way and the holidays, too, I can always count on my coffee. It’s there when I’m cuddling on the couch with a cup and a new book. You can bet it’s in my mug when I’m blasting the cumbias every Saturday. All while I am sipping on my café and the fam cleans and dances.
It makes every moment better.
While you are picking up your jar of Nescafé Clásico, enjoy un poquito de savings on your cafecitos on me and use this Ibotta offer!
How do you share everyday moments over a cup of café?
Let me know, til then–cheers m’deres!

That is my husband’s favorite brand of coffee. It is the only one he allows me to buy. I am very happy that they have a coupon for it. I can buy more of it at a cheaper price and that makes me happy.
Yay, I am glad you can enjoy it!
I love enjoying a cup of coffee with a loved one. It’s a fabulous way to connect and chat and drink something delicious!!
Me too. It really is a great way to connect.
my husband loves instant coffee a lot. I love cooking with instant coffee too.
Me too!
I’m not much of a coffee drinker but my hubby loves Nescafe
Me too!
This would be great to keep on hand for them when they drop by.
Yes!
I always love when I find Ibotta offers! I wish I liked coffee, but my mom does, so I’ll have to share this with her. I do love the smell of coffee!
Thank you for sharing this.
My parents were tea drinkers when I was a kid so coffee wasn’t a big part of my childhood. However, we always had a jar of Nescafe on hand for any visitors that stopped by. Now, my oldest son works as a barista so we pretty much live and breathe coffee around here!
Hehe, very cool!
This sounds like a wonderful idea. It’s so hard to get my teens to take a moment and just sit down with sports and all. We have date nights, but this would also be awesome to incorporate.
Yes, same here, we appreciate the times when we do get her.
My friend is from Guatemala and she always has this Classico instant coffee on hand. You never know when you’ll need a little cafecito.
Never a bad time for a cafecito. 🙂
One of my favourite coffee moments was the first time I was able to make my mom a cup of coffee on my own. It made me feel really grown up to treat her. 🙂
Aww, that is amazing. Thanks for sharing!
I share a coffee mid afternoon with my husband. He usually makes it. The Nescafé Clásico sounds great.
It is really good!
Nescafe Clasico seems like a versatile coffee. I would love to make a few coffee flavored recipes with this.
You can totally use it!
My husband doesn’t start his day without his cafecito. I’ll have to get him this kind to try next time.
I cannot go without my cafecito. I hope he likes it.
I haven’t used instant coffee in a long time. I tend to make my own then put it in the fridge and drink it cold the next day.
Ahh, that is a good idea. I love instant coffee, it is so easy to make.
Yes, I’ll take un cafecito!!!! This looks delish. I like mine con leche! 🙂
Yo tambien. Hay veces que me gusta negro!
I can’t function without my morning coffee. It’s my favorite ritual! I’ve actually never tried Nescafe but am definitely intrigued now!
Me too!
Such gorgeous shots! My husband is the coffee fan in our house so I will have to tell him about Nescafe Clasico! I am sure he will love to give it a try.
Awesome, thanks so much m’dere!
Our mornings start with a cup of steaming hot Nescafe. Before the day draws us into its whir, we spend a few moments of togetherness along with Nescafe Coffee. A habit that lives on.
Yes, I completely agree!
I absolutely love my morning coffee! best way to start the day. i love one cream one sugar
It is a must for me!
My dad love Nescafe.. it’s a great coffee and so flavorful! He wakes up early morning, brew coffee and ask his best friend (neighbor) to drink coffee together, have a light conversation before they go to work.
Just like my parents. Love this!
We do not drink coffee but my in-laws love Nescafé Clásico! It’s super popular here in Spain and I use it for recipes that need coffee.
That is awesome!
I love Nescafé. It’s always been a great cup of coffe every time. It’s so good it’s hard not to just keep making cup upon cup
LOL. I agree, it is SO good.
I enjoy a nice cup of coffee with my mom every once in a while. It’s great to catch up and relax for a few moments during busy days. Thanks!
I completely agree, it is a great way to reconnect.
I have to say Nancy,I’m not a big coffee lover but I do enjoy a nescafe with a shot of Kahlua for a tasty treat!
Oooh, that is a really great idea.
I love instant coffee, it is so easy to make and it’s great added to a nice scratch cake!
Yesss!
I’m the only one who drinks coffee in the house – but then again I love my alone time on the balcony just watching the city go by
Ahh, those are great times!
I love adding flavor to my coffee!
That is a good idea!
My husband and I bonded over our love of coffee, so it’s super important in our home! This looks yummy!
So yummy!
I’m not a big instant coffee fan, but when I go camping-it’s so much easier than brewing actual coffee. When I do that, I ALWAYS buy Nescafe, it’s so much better than the other brands I’ve tried.
I love it, it is such great tasting coffee.
I am all about coffee; anywhere, anytime! Keeping a jar of instant in the house would make afternoon pick me ups especially easy.
Yessss, so convenient and delish.
You know, I can’t recall if I’ve ever had instant coffee – or shall we say, if I did, I wasn’t aware of it! My husband and I are casual coffee drinkers. I tend to take it smooth and black or doused in creamer and iced. You just never know what mood I might be in…
That is what I love about coffee!
Instant coffee has never really agreed with my stomach, but I have enjoyed the flavor. Like you, coffee is an every day part of my life.
Everyday life!
I am not a big coffee drinker but I will enjoy a cappuccino with my hubby while he enjoys his nescafe.
Sounds like a good time!
This is our family favorite brand of coffee. I loved the aroma and the taste is really delicious.
That is awesome!
I love coffee breaks. A cup of coffee is always a good excuse to have a break and to talk to each other. Nescafe is my best friend! 🙂 It is always present in our house!
Yes, it is spending those special moments.
It seems an interesting brand of coffee that I should try. We usually have a coffee in the morning with my husband, I think I will try this one.
Yes, give this a try, you will enjoy it.
This is our favorite coffee brand. We love lazy mornings with coffee and bread. I also use this to some chocolate cake recipes.
Mmmm, sounds amazing.
When the kids were young I loved enjoying a cup of coffee on the deck with hubby in the morning before the kids got up!
Aww, those moments are the best moments.
I have Nescafe Clasico in my pantry here in California, and another container at my home in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico too! I love the beautiful taste and aroma of this quick-to-make coffee.
The smell and taste are AMAZING.
My brother drinks this all the time. I cannot blame him though; it is delicious!
It really is!
I know I shouldn’t, but I LOVE coffee. It is my weakness/addiction.
Oh you should… it is amazing.
Can’t start my morning without coffee or tea! Nescafe is a great brand, my dad is a big fan of them!
That is awesome!
Both the hubs and I are coffee lovers and we enjoy a cup or more of coffee first thing in the morning. Our day is simply not complete without coffee. 🙂
Same!
my parents always used Nescafe the only coffee they would buy, I have sampled the clasico and I love the taste
It is so delish!
Going to walmart shortly going to make sure to pick up Nescafé Clásico jar!
Yay!
I love my coffee hot and black. I’m pretty easy to please!
Hehe, I do love it black!
We always have coffee on hand and hubby really has a liking for Nescafe!
He has great taste, m’dere!
Never been a big fan of instant coffee but I might need to give it a try again. Love my coffee double double!
I love the simplicity and this one happens to be bold. You never know, you might like it.
I love waking up to the bold,rich smell on Nescafe!
Mmm, me too! Seriously, one of the best parts of waking up.
I have not ever seen this new Clasico from Nescafe. I do drink the Nescafe Rich, it’s smooth & tastes just like brewed coffee. Will have to try the Clasico next!
Yes, give this a whirl.
I’ve never heard of cafecito, but it looks like you all enjoy it and make the most of it. Family time is always good!! My favorite is hazelnut.
Cafecito is just a caring way to call a coffee, coffee. Just in spanish.
Hubby always says love starting my day with a Nescafe!
You guys have great taste!
I agree it keeps you going and going , nice when at the end of the day you can sit down with someone you love to enjoy your last nescafe of the day
Hehe, I know some people don’t like coffee at night. I sure do!
Nescafe is a great way to start your day !
It really is!
I normally drink brewed coffee, but I’ve been thinking I should have some instant in the house. I’m going to be on the lookout for this.
Awesome, you will not regret it.
Not a big coffee drinker, but do enjoy a cafe con leche.
Mmm, it is so good!
Great photos nancy!
Thank you so much!
In high school a huge group of us girls would go to the same diner after school every day & drink coffee. It was such a social thing & I have great memories of it. We never ran out of things to chat about & it was a comforting, special part of my teenage years!
Awww, I love that. Coffee is surrounded by great times.
One thing my pantry can’t be without and that’s Nescafe coffee!
Same!!
Always a great idea to have instant coffee on hand.
Always.
I love catching up with friends over coffee!
Me too.
My favorite way to take my coffee is 2 cream, 2 sugar. In winter months especially I like to add in a flavored creamer like cinnamon bun or I just tried an oreo cookie one. Yummy!
Mmmm, you are right. I always add a little flavor too.
Even if I don’t drink coffee often, I still love waking up to the smell of it!! 🙂
Hehe, there is nothing like the smell of it or taste of it.
