MacCoffee Cappuccino di Torino Falls Short of Expectations
summarizeEditor's Summary
I was really hoping to love MacCoffee's CAPPUCCINO DI TORINO, but after using it for a while, I've come to realize it's just not doing the trick for me. The flavor's too weak, and don't even get me started on the chocolate packet - it's a total pain to open. I picked it up at a few different stores, including Perekrestok, Magnit, and Pyaterochka, and it cost me 129.99 rubles at Pyaterochka. It's a decent value for the price, but I'm not gonna lie, I've had better coffee. I used it for a bit, and while it's not terrible, it's just not my go-to coffee. I'd say it's a good option if you're in a pinch and need a quick coffee fix, but if you're looking for something with a bit more oomph, you might want to keep looking.

I'm not a morning person without my coffee, and I've been relying on MacCoffee's CAPPUCCINO DI TORINO - a 3-in-1 soluble coffee - to get me going. But after using it for a while, I've come to realize that it's just not doing the trick for me.
MacCoffee CAPPUCCINO DI TORINOI picked it up at Perekrestok, Magnit, and Pyaterochka, and it cost me 129.99 rubles at Pyaterochka. Prices might vary by 10-20 rubles in other stores, depending on promotions.
The box comes with 5 packets of coffee, each weighing 25.5 grams. You can see 4 packets on the photo, as I've already used one. The small packet with the chocolate wrapper is stuck on tight - good luck trying to get it off!

Coffee MacCoffee CAPPUCCINO DI TORINO compositionI've always associated this type of coffee with long trips, when you need to bring everything convenient. In fact, I used to use these in long-distance trains.
There are notches on the sides for easy opening, but I've never managed to open it properly. It's always crooked, and sometimes the contents spill out. I use scissors to cut it open, which is a bit of a hassle.

MacCoffee CAPPUCCINO DI TORINO with Dark ChocolateI was expecting a lot more from this dry mix, but it's pretty standard 3-in-1 stuff. It's not bad, but it's not great either.
MacCoffee CAPPUCCINO DI TORINOWhen you mix it with hot water, it produces a decent layer of foam, but it doesn't dissolve evenly. You really need to stir it to avoid any lumps, which can be a bit of a pain.
MacCoffee CAPPUCCINO DI TORINOSince it's an Italian cappuccino, you're supposed to sprinkle some grated chocolate on top. I tried it without the chocolate, and it was pretty bland. With it, it's slightly better, but I still need to stir it to get the right flavor.
"Cappuccino di Torino" is essentially a cappuccino made the classic way, originating from the city of Turin. It's characterized by the addition of dark chocolate or chocolate chips.
It's not a game-changer, but I suppose that's okay. I mean, it's not like I'm expecting a miracle worker or anything.
MacCoffee CAPPUCCINO DI TORINO with ChocolateEither my taste buds have changed or the coffee has gone bad, but I don't want to buy it again. Not only does it not help me wake up, but it's also giving me some unwanted side effects.
I used to drink MacCoffee Cappuccino di Torino every day for years, and I have no idea why I liked it back then. Looking back, I think I was just desperate for a caffeine fix.
The taste is mediocre, and it's really lacking in flavor. You can't even taste the coffee or chocolate. It's like it's not sweet at all. If I drink it black, I always need to add sugar. With pastries or cookies, I don't need to add sugar.
MacCoffee CAPPUCCINO DI TORINO with chocolateWaking up or getting a boost isn't doing the trick for me. In fact, it's just making me feel more sluggish.
It's got a weird effect on my heart. I've got a naturally fast heartbeat, but after drinking this, it gets even faster and feels like it's pounding against my chest.
As a bonus, it's making me even more anxious and jittery.
I was drinking this with a latte that had a salty caramel flavor, which was way better and more pleasant on my heart.

FINAL VERDICTIt's convenient to take on the go.
It's widely available.
The price is reasonable.
On the other hand, it's hard to open, and the taste is just not good enough. It doesn't help me wake up, and it's affecting my heart. Plus, it's making me feel even more anxious.
Overall, I'm pretty disappointed with MacCoffee Cappuccino di Torino. It's not doing the trick for me, and I don't want to buy it again.
