Not really. Nescafe is ground coffee powder, not cocoa powder.
It is cocoa beans that have been harvested and roasted and then ground into a very thin, pure powder called cocoa powder. It is almost always unsweetened.
The cocoa beans are separated into their differnt contents, most important in this case the cocoa butter and the cocoa powder. The cocoa powder is what holds the brown color. Leave the cocoa powder out of the mix, and you get white chocolate.
The fat, called cocoa butter, is pressed out of chocolates in making cocoa powder.
The by-product of cocoa processed with alkali is known as alkalized cocoa powder, or Dutch-processed cocoa powder. This process results in a darker color and milder flavor compared to natural cocoa powder.
Cocoa powder is made from roasted and ground cacao beans, which are the seeds of the fruit of the cacao tree. The beans are fermented, dried, roasted, and then processed to extract the fat (cocoa butter), leaving behind the cocoa solids, which are then ground into a fine powder.
