Dormans Fine Instant Coffee 1.6G

This instant coffee is produced using high-quality Arabica beans sourced from key Kenyan coffee-growing regions. Dormans’ master roasters oversee blending and roasting to maintain consistency and flavour.

Brewing & Serving Suggestions

To prepare, simply tear open one 1.6 g sachet, pour into a cup, and add about 120–150 ml of near-boiling water . Stir for about 10 seconds until fully dissolved. Adjust the water slightly to taste use less for a stronger cup, more for a lighter brew. Alternatively, this sachet can be stirred into warm milk or added to iced coffee drinks.

Because the coffee is finely processed, you may notice some natural sediment at the bottom this is normal and not harmful. For clarity, let the cup sit for a minute before sipping.

Tasting Notes

• Aroma & Nose: Opens with a warm fragrance of roasted nuts, light cocoa and subtle dried-fruit hints
• Flavour & Body: Medium body, a smooth balance of brightness and slight chocolatey undertones
• Acidity & Finish: Crisp but gentle acidity, leaving a pleasant lingering finish with mild cocoa or nut notes
• Overall Profile: A refined, balanced cup neither overly bold nor excessively mild

These tasting notes are consistent with descriptions of the “Supreme” sachet in the same 1.6 g format, which is described as full-bodied with fragrance of ripe fruits, nuts and heavy chocolate nuances with a long lingering rich aftertaste.

History & Brand Heritage

Dormans Coffee Limited was founded in Nairobi in 1950 by Charles and Ellen Dorman, making it one of the oldest coffee roasting names in Kenya. From its early days, Dormans has grown into a leading East African roaster, exporting and supplying premium Kenyan coffees across Kenya, Tanzania and Rwanda.

Dormans continues to reward excellence among coffee farmers via its annual Quality Competition, and invests in sustainability and fair trade through its procurement practices.

One little-known fact: Dormans evaluates around 2,000 coffee lots per week through its cupping team to maintain high standards and consistency across batches.

Accolades & Recognition

While instant coffees rarely receive the same critical attention as specialty fresh roasts, Dormans’ parent brand is highly esteemed in the East African coffee world. Its certifications are significant markers of quality and trust.

In the realm of Kenyan coffee, Dormans is regularly engaged in international supply and collaboration: for instance, Dormans has signed a supply partnership to roast Kenyan coffee for The Coffee Club, an international café chain entering East Africa.

Further, Dormans is a respected supplier to specialty roasters abroad, and its role in cupping, selection and export is frequently cited in origin spotlight articles (for example by Blue Bottle Coffee) highlighting Kirinyaga and Kiambu coffees.
