Does Nescafe coffee improve memory?

I have heard that a cup of Nescafe can fresh and wake up our memory power. Is this true? I am from Tehran, Iran, thank you very much.
Doug's Reply: There is some evidence that coffee improves memory. For example:

However, in my experience the effect is small, especially for someone like me who drinks coffee every day.
Of course the coffee industry has latched onto studies like that one to promote their products:

A cup of coffee might improve your concentration for awhile, but it won't make a poor memory into a good one. I wouldn't rely on coffee to solve any long-term memory problems.
