Overview
NESCAFÉ Alta Rica Gold Blend Instant Coffee, Dark sits on our coffee, tea & drinks shelf, where the ranking comes from what buyers actually said rather than from what the box says. From the seller's own listing: A deliciously dark roast premium instant coffee sourced from Latin America. An intense and bold taste with a surprising cacao finish. That is the maker talking, not us, so read it as a claim rather than a finding. Buyers have it at 4.7 out of 5 from 3,182 ratings. We work out below what that is worth against everything else on the shelf.

How it compares on the coffee, tea & drinks shelf
Across the 50 rated coffee, tea & drinks products we track, the middle of the pack sits at 4.7 out of 5. This one scores 4.7. That sits mid-table. Ratings this close together don't decide anything on their own, so weigh pack size, price per unit and the specifics below instead.
3,182 people rated it, where the shelf median is 3,857. That's enough for the score to mean something without being the last word on it.
On money, this sits in the middle third of a shelf running from £1.84 to £28.00, with the midpoint around £8.00. That's where most sensible buys land, neither the cheapest thing on the shelf nor the one you pay a name for.
