Instant coffee..

A while ago I went on a spree testing all instant coffees, as I wasn't happy with the one I was using.
After testing every instant coffee on the supermarket shelves I came up with Kenko blue top as my personal favourite.

If you use instant coffee, what's your favourite?

Tesco Gold,surprisingly for medical reasons.

Re: Instant coffee..

I try all different ones and always go back to the Nescafe Original.

The Nescafe Alta Rica Decaf is good too.

Re: Instant coffee..

I don't drink instant coffee at home , I don't think it tastes of coffee. I have a little plastic filter ...

...and use it with filter papers and Kenyan ground filter coffee

Re: Instant coffee..

If I have to use instant I will use Kenco Millicano but that is only if I don't have access to a filter machine or percolator.

Re: Instant coffee..

If I want a quick cup of coffee I'll have instant even though I don't think of it as proper coffee. I usually buy Tchibo Family.
Proper coffee for me is Italian made in my espresso machine.

Re: Instant coffee..

Nescafe Gold
Tried Tesco's and others but find them quite inferior

Re: Instant coffee..

Nescafe Gold Blend Decaf ...... I keep trying others but keep coming back to this one.

Re: Instant coffee..

Kenko Red and Blue. I've got both and drink one or the other depending on mood.
Occasionally I grind some beans for my filter. At the moment I've got Kenyan beans

Re: Instant coffee..

For inferior instant I have Douwe Egberts Pure Gold, but mixed with a decaff, so I have a half caff (used to be able to buy that!). Or, I sometimes have Instinct Carte Noir wholebean instant, for the occasional treat.

I normally have 3-4 cups of tea a day, with probably 2 cups of coffee. Try to stop caffeine intake early afternoon so later in evening if really thirsty I will have a decaff tea. (Soz, slightly off top.)
