Overview
Hills Bros Cappuccino Mix in English Toffee flavor is a 16 ounce powdered mix that turns into a frothy cappuccino with hot water, or works as a flavored coffee creamer. Hills Bros markets over a century of coffee history behind the brand.
Long-time buyers describe this as a years-long habit, with several noting it works well in a milk frother for a creamier result. A handful of reviewers found the English toffee note reads closer to a general toffee-nut sweetness than a distinct toffee flavor, worth factoring in if flavor accuracy matters to you.
- 16 ounce mix
- Just add hot water, no machine needed
- Doubles as a flavored coffee creamer
- Can be served hot or iced
Who it's for
People who want a frothy cappuccino-style drink without a machine, or a flavored powder to stir into regular coffee. Less suited to anyone expecting an exact, unmistakable English toffee taste.
What buyers say
From Amazon customer reviews.
Many reviewers call this a years-long favorite and say it blends especially well with a milk frother for a rich, creamy result. A few pushback points came up: one long-time buyer noticed recent batches leaving fine grit at the bottom of the cup, and a couple of reviewers found the toffee flavor tastes more like toffee-nut, or even slightly like green tea, rather than a true English toffee note.
