The Ultimate Food Pairings for Every Jacobs Coffee Moment
Advertorial
If you’ve ever curated a weekend brunch board or planned a Friday wind-down, you know that coffee isn’t just a drink, it’s a mood. In South Africa’s buzzing coffee scene, where sipping on something good is as iconic as the tune you pair it with, the flavour companion you choose can elevate every moment.
Whether you’re hosting friends on a sunlit patio, powering through emails at your desk, there’s a Jacobs coffee and a perfect pairing to match.
“Coffee today is about more than just taste – it’s about creating moments that feel intentional and enjoyable. Whether it’s a classic instant cup in the morning or a flavoured cappuccino with dessert, Jacobs offers different ways to experience coffee throughout the day, and pairing it with the right food makes those moments even more special,” says Domaine Rautenbach, Senior Brand Manager for Jacobs.
For Chocolate Lovers: Jacobs Cadbury Mocha Cappuccino
When two icons come together, indulgence is guaranteed. Jacobs Cadbury Mocha Cappuccino blends the unmistakable richness of coffee with the creamy chocolate notes of Cadbury, making it a natural match for dessert moments. This is the coffee you serve when dessert deserves its own moment.
Perfect pairings:
- Fudgy brownies – deep chocolate meets coffee intensity.
- Chocolate éclairs – café-style elegance at home.
- Triple chocolate cookies – unapologetically indulgent.
For the Adventurous Palate: Jacobs Salted Caramel Hot & Iced Cappuccino
Jacobs Salted Caramel Iced Cappuccino adds a refreshing sweet-and-savoury twist to your coffee break. With smooth caramel notes balanced by a hint of salt, this chilled cappuccino is bold, indulgent and perfect for those who enjoy trying something different. This is coffee for when you want to impress, even if the only guest is you.
Perfect pairings:
- Shortbread or caramel biscuits – buttery sweetness that complements the flavour.
- Vanilla or caramel éclairs – café-style indulgence with a cool contrast.
- Chocolate brownies – rich and comforting alongside the iced coffee.
- Toasted sandwiches – for a simple but satisfying savoury pairing.
For Slow, Crafted Moments: Jacobs Origins Beans
With beans sourced from renowned coffee-growing regions, this range is all about depth, character and craftsmanship.
Perfect pairings:
- Dark chocolate squares – rich and intense, just like the brew.
- Biscotti or Cantucci – crunchy, elegant and made for dipping.
- Nut-based desserts – think hazelnut tarts or almond cakes.
Some days call for comfort. Others for indulgence or adventure. From Jacobs Krönung Instant Coffee to Jacobs Cadbury Mocha Cappuccino, Jacobs Dubai Chocolate Flavoured Cappuccino and Jacobs Origins Whole Bean Coffee, each blend creates its own pairing story.
Set out two or three Jacobs coffee options with small plates to match – rusks and pastries for instant coffee, chocolate treats for mocha, and biscotti or savoury bites for whole beans. It’s simple, stylish and guaranteed to spark conversation.
