Either called French Cafe, French Cafe Coffee Mix or French Cafe Cafe Mix, this is one of the leading and most popular Instant Coffees available in South Korea. Koreans love their coffee with a coffee shop on every major street and at least one in every supermarket and subway station. However at home and in the workplace Koreans normally go for instant coffee. The instant coffee market in Korea is huge and one of the market leaders is French Cafe Coffee Mix.
French Cafe Coffee Mix comes in a few different flavors however the most popular is the latte (Coffee, Sugar & Milk or Cream). With a box of 20 sticks costing around W4,000 (so W200 a cup) which is cheap compared to the price of a cup from a coffee shop or even the cost of making fresh cup at home.

you added way too much water to the mix.
for best tasting coffee mix I do like a 1:2 ratio (coffee mix: hot water)
and yea its very little but it tastes best.
You maybe right, I personally like my coffee a little weaker. But this morning I will try the most espresso style 🙂
I live in Rockhampton, Queensland and I was wondering if this product is sold here,if not where can I purchase it from..
We have no idea, we’ve never been to Queensland or even Australia before. I sensible guess would be a Korean/Asian supermarket. Failing that maybe an online marketplace such GMarket.
Sorry we can’t help further.
