Just a quick blog, because I'm actually annoyed.
I just made myself a cup of Nescafé 'Collections' Espresso, which you'd assume vegan, right? As I poured the water in, I noticed a creamy layer forming - so I read the jar where it says it has a 'crema' layer. Hmmm, so i checked the ingredients - wait, there isn't any ingredients! Just that their beans are grown in africa in a mystical forest where pixies live giving it a rich taste of magic enfused pixie bean... or something like that. So I thought I'd check the website, surely they'll say what's in the crap that you're drinking there? Apparently not. It just says that it has a 'crema' layer - which is a 'vital component of the classic espresso' apparently. Now, am I being REALLY thick here? I wasn't aware that coffee beans made cream? If it's a 'component' doesn't that imply that it's something else? If it is, how do they get away with not stating the ingredients on the label?
I can only assume it doesn't contain milk, as I thought it was law to state it - but I think i'll leave it anyway. Fail.

Crema is simply froth created when the water is forced through the coffee at high pressure. It is not formed from dairy products.
Ahh right, thanks for the Richard!
