Best instant coffee?
Just wondered what anyone thinks is the classiest/best tasting instant coffee? I want to make up a small food-related gift for someone and include coffee in it.

I want to go back to it, I think it will be easier as I'm struggling a bit on the bus:(, but I'm not sure who to shop with. When we first chose sainsburys, about 10 years ago, I think it was because people used to…

Aldi Dolce Gusto compatible pods anywhere?
Having realised that a Tassimo machine wouldn't take any generic discs, I sold it and got a Nescafe Dolce Gusto one, not realising that it takes the bigger pods rather than the wee ones.

Nicky or Regina?
Need to stock up on loo rolls. I bought Nicky last time, but the nearest shop I can buy them is quite a distance, so thought I'd try Regina this time. Any thoughts on whether the journey to buy Nicky is worth it, or is Regina (which I can pick up locally) just as good?
