Description of the Egoiste brand
The quickly gaining popularity brand of coffee Egoist from a young German-Swiss company is part of the line of elite products. Particularly notable is freeze-dried coffee granules - a mixture of instant and ground Arabica varieties. Its quality and taste have earned positive reviews from most coffee gourmets. The big advantage of this brand is the ability to choose.
This brand produces Egoist coffee beans, ground, and instant. Various types of Premium Arabica coffee from different countries are presented, differing in shades of taste and strength of the drink.
Features and technology of making Egoist coffee
Your favorite drink is produced using certain technologies. The factories themselves producing the elite product are located in Germany and Switzerland. The peculiarity of Egoist coffee production is that the entire process takes place in one factory.
First, coffee beans are carefully selected in laboratories where quality is checked. Only selected raw materials are processed. Next, the coffee roasting process continues until the final packaging of the finished product.
The use of innovative In-Fi technology in production allows us to fully reveal and preserve for the end consumer all the properties and quality of selected elite Arabica varieties. Even the most exclusive and elite coffee oxidizes after a certain time and loses its original properties. In-Fi technology neutralizes this process and allows all types of Egoist coffee to retain the aromatic and taste properties so beloved in Arabica.
The use of innovative technology, the use of selected raw materials and the famous German quality are contained in the presented product. All this allows you to buy Egoiste coffee and be confident in its quality, and the wide range will satisfy the most picky buyer.
Today this brand is a leader in product quality and has become popular in many countries around the world. Beautiful and high-quality packaging of Egoist coffee retains all its qualities for its lovers and is perfect if you choose coffee as a gift.
Manufacturers presented all types of products under this brand. We will introduce you to the features of each of them.

Egoist coffee beans
Coffee beans are presented in the range of these products in the form of a blend of Arabica beans collected in different countries and regions.
- Egoist espresso is a blend of selected Guinean Arabica beans of the highest quality. The taste of coffee is strong, rich with a pronounced aroma. Espresso is universal, it can be prepared and drunk in its pure form, or you can prepare coffee drinks based on it. Foil packaging with a valve that allows the beans to “breathe”
- Egoist Noir is a blend of Kenyan Arabica beans collected on lowland plantations and located in the highlands. Lowland Arabica has a bright, multifaceted aroma, while highland Arabica imparts its famous rich taste with moderate bitterness. The taste of the finished drink has a slight sourness and chocolate notes; the aroma can be traced with orange notes and hints of vanilla.
- Egoist Noir is a New Guinea Arabica with a pronounced bitterness. The high degree of roasting of the beans gives high strength. Egoiste Noir bean coffee is a drink for those who love a strong invigorating effect. The use of innovative types of packaging allows us to preserve the original aroma of the beans and the unique taste of the finished drink.
FRESCO
Beneath the pretty label that promises a unique Italian blend lies something brown. Very similar to coffee granules, but if you bring them to a blindfolded person’s nose, he is unlikely to guess what was slipped to him. The coffee has no smell at all, neither dry nor brewed. The taste is extremely mediocre, and the production, contrary to advertising, is located in Moscow.
Egoist ground
Ground coffee Egoist is available for sale in two types:
- Egoist Noir - All coffee gourmets who love exquisite blends should try Egoist Noir with a light chocolate-vanilla flavor.
- Egoist espresso - For those who prefer the classic version of Italian espresso, the rich-tasting “Egoist Espresso” is more suitable. It has a quick invigorating effect and has a surprisingly soft aftertaste.
These two types are produced from Arabica beans grown on plantations located in Guinea. The coffee is moderately strong, with pleasant, slightly perceptible notes of fruit. A distinctive feature is the ultra-fine, uniform grind, which cannot be obtained using a coffee grinder at home. Prepared in any way, it retains the rich original taste of premium coffee.
Universal grinding makes it possible to brew a drink in a convenient way - in a Turk, cup or coffee machine. The strong, uniform roasting of the coffee beans is not too noticeable and conveys the desired strength with a pleasant bitterness.
Jardin
Not to say that Jardin instant coffee is completely bad, it’s just very, very specific. What kind of flavor notes can you find in this brand: chocolate, fruit, and those whose origin can only be determined by a gourmet from the world of instant coffee. When hot, they have at least some kind of harmony, but as soon as the drink cools, the taste falls apart and you realize that the coffee itself is extremely mediocre.
Egoist instant coffee
Instant coffee Egoist is loved by the vast majority of lovers of a high-quality, aromatic drink. Coffee egoist is presented in a fairly wide range:
- Coffee Egoiste special - Contains 20% Premium Arabica beans, which, when brewed, precipitate to the bottom and give the drink a persistent and strong aroma. The taste is noted as quite interesting, with light fruity and smoky notes. Egoist Special is produced soluble and in 2 gram sticks, which are convenient to take on the road or when not at work and always be able to make yourself a cup of your favorite drink.
- Egoist Platinum instant coffee is a natural freeze-dried product that enjoys well-deserved popularity among true coffee gourmets. This exclusive type of freeze-dried coffee is obtained thanks to an original blend of Kenyan and Colombian Arabica beans. It has perfect taste and rich color. The instant drink Egoiste platinum amazingly conveys the delicate fruity flavors characteristic of Arabica beans from Kenya. The price of a pack of 100 grams is 300-330 rubles. Perfect for those who prefer moderate strength coffee or like to add milk or cream to it.
MacCoffee Gold
MacCoffee Gold turns out to be an empty drink in every sense. Absolutely faded, unsaturated taste, imbalanced bitterness, weak strength. People who like to add a couple of spoons of sugar to their coffee often like it so that the cloying at least somehow distracts the taste buds. And if drinking their 3 in 1 somewhere to warm up or snack on a pie at the station will still work, then regularly drinking such a drink at home is a dubious pleasure.
Other types of freeze-dried coffee Egoist
The above products do not complete the wide range of instant products of the European brand. The following types of Egoiste freeze-dried coffee are worth mentioning:
- XO (Extra Original) granules contain 30% ground Arabica;
- Private (Private) with the taste of dark Arabica chocolate from Kenyan plantations;
- VC (Very Special) has a rich taste due to the increased content of ground coffee in the granules.
Certain types of products may contain amazing-tasting Ethiopian and Cameroonian roasted Arabica beans of elite Premium varieties. Capsules “Noir”, “Velvet”, “Special” have recently appeared on sale, which can be used in Nespresso capsule coffee machines.
The best types of instant coffee Egoist are so popular that they leave behind similar products from the most famous manufacturers. The finished drink has a high density of taste and aroma, thickness and a long, pleasant aftertaste. Most products, not only instant coffee, but also ground coffee, do not have these qualities.
Tips for choosing ground coffee
Many shoppers wonder whether they can buy good ground coffee in a regular supermarket. Of course, ideally it is better to purchase it directly from roasters and in the form of beans, but not everyone has such an opportunity or desire to bother. There are several important criteria that can help you choose a decent product in a regular store and not stumble upon overcooked cake of dubious quality.
- Immediately before purchasing, you need to consider the method of preparing coffee that is relevant to you. For cooking in a Turk or brewing directly in a cup, a mixture of fine or medium grinding is suitable; for a French press, you can safely choose a coarse grind.
- The more information about the origin and variety of coffee on the label, the better. This directly indicates that the manufacturer takes its work and business seriously. It is good if information about the varieties, plantation, grain processing method, date of collection and roasting, etc. is indicated.
- Pay special attention to the origin of the grains. Some countries are a priori considered leaders in quality issues. For example, Kenya and other African countries export elite varieties with a rich taste and aroma, while blends of Indian origin, on the contrary, are of lower quality with a bitter and inexpressive flavor profile.
- It is worth remembering that the stronger the degree of roasting, the stronger and more intense the drink will be. This should be taken into account especially for those who do not like excessive bitterness and astringency. In this case, you should choose light or medium roast coffee.
- If the label contains information about the flavoring of ground coffee, you should carefully study the composition of this product. Among the additives, only natural spices are allowed - cinnamon, cardamom or nutmeg, but artificial flavors will only spoil the taste of the drink, and it can even be completely unsafe for health.
How to brew coffee Egoist
You can prepare it in a coffee maker, in a cup, but to prepare the perfect drink, it is recommended to brew ground Egoist coffee in a Turk. Taking a Turk with a narrow neck and a wide bottom, you will get a dense foam. How to prepare a delicious drink? Here is the ideal ratio of ingredients:
- Ground coffee – 2 teaspoons;
- Water – 100 ml;
- Sugar - to your taste.
Preparation:
Pour coffee and sugar in the specified amount into a dry, clean pot. Pour cold water and put on fire. When the water begins to boil and foam rises, immediately remove from heat. Repeat boiling two to three times. Then pour the drink into a coffee cup and enjoy the perfectly balanced taste and aroma of good coffee.
Instant coffee Egoist is brewed in the proportion of 1 teaspoon per 100 ml of water. Add sugar to taste.
Nescafe
It's a strange and slightly offensive situation with Nescafe. Instant coffee, imported from abroad, is of quite decent quality (Gull - Norway or Kulta - Finland). But the same cannot be said about the one produced in our homeland. The drink has a strong aroma, leaves a sediment in the cup, and you can only enjoy it with milk. If pure, then only for the sake of strength and caffeine content, which are higher here than most competitors.
