What to know about Nescafe Choco Mocha Coffee Premix Sachets
A mocha where sugar outweighs the coffee and cocoa
A coffee premix sold as five single-serve sachets of 25 g each, 125 g in all. The list is short: milk solids, sugar, soluble coffee powder (5.2%), dried glucose syrup, cocoa solids (1.6%) and iodised salt. It is bought as a quick, cafe-style frothy cup at home: tear a sachet, add hot water, stir.
One sachet in 120 ml of water gives 102 kcal, 2.7 g protein, 13.5 g total sugar (9.6 g of it added) and 2.1 g saturated fat. Per 100 g of powder that is 408 kcal, 38.5 g added sugar and 8.4 g saturated fat. Sodium is low, at 23.3 mg per sachet.
The name promises chocolate and mocha, but cocoa solids are 1.6% of the powder and sit behind sugar and milk solids. Coffee itself is 5.2%. That small chocolate share is what sets the [L] flag. CleanPlate scores it [L]EB4.
Does Nescafe Choco Mocha Coffee Premix Sachets live up to its claims?
The pack's own per-serve figures hold and coffee is really in it, but the Choco Mocha name does not: cocoa solids are only 1.6% of the powder.
- Product nameMisleading
“Nescafé Choco Mocha”
Cocoa solids are 1.6% of the powder, under the 2% line, and sit behind sugar and milk solids. The chocolate in the name is a very small share.
- On the packBe careful
“Café like Coffee at home”
The taste is a sweet, milky cup, but soluble coffee is 5.2% of the powder. Milk solids and sugar lead the list.
- On the packPartly true
“Coffee Premix”
Soluble coffee powder is real and declared at 5.2%, but it is a small share of a sugar and milk powder.
- On the packHolds
“Per serve: 19% added sugar, 10% saturated fat”
One 25 g sachet has 9.6 g added sugar and 2.1 g saturated fat, and the pack prints them as 19% and 10% of the daily reference.
- On the packHolds
“Just Add Hot Water”
The milk solids are already in the powder, so a sachet in 120 ml of hot water is the whole recipe.
Why Nescafe Choco Mocha Coffee Premix Sachets scores [L]EB4
Nutrition is an E: sugar and milk solids dominate, with no fibre or micronutrients declared. Ingredients are a B but lose label points for the 1.6% cocoa. Risk is a 4, driven by 38.5 g added sugar per 100 g.
Very low nutrient density
- Protein
- 10.7 g
- Fibre
- Not declared
- Vitamins and minerals
- None declared
- Energy
- 408 kcal
01 Nutrition density: why E
Protein is 10.7 g per 100 g, almost all from milk solids, but with 53.8 g total sugar per 100 g and no fibre declared there is nothing to lift the grade. Per sachet it is 2.7 g protein.
No vitamins or minerals are declared, so the nutrition grade has no extra credit to draw on.
Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why B
The list is short and has no additives of concern, which is why this grade holds up at a B. Milk solids, sugar and soluble coffee powder lead, then glucose syrup, cocoa solids and iodised salt.
The name promises chocolate, but cocoa solids are 1.6%, under the 2% line, and that costs ingredient points and sets the [L]. Only coffee and cocoa carry declared percentages.
Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.
High risk
- Added sugar
- 38.5 g
- Sodium
- 93 mg
- Saturated fat
- 8.4 g
03 Load risk: why 4
Sugar is the biggest driver: 38.5 g of added sugar per 100 g, 9.6 g in one sachet, which the pack prints as 19% of the daily reference. Saturated fat is next at 8.4 g per 100 g, 2.1 g per sachet.
Energy at 408 kcal per 100 g adds a little. Sodium is small at 93 mg per 100 g, 23.3 mg per sachet. No trans fat line is printed and no hydrogenated fat is listed.
Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.
