Looking for best value ground coffee pls

Queen_Latifah

Hi everyone,
I love my morning coffee but it's becoming an expensive addiction. Now that I have tasted fresh filter coffee, I can't go back to instant coffee (which I find disgusting). Apart from looking for BOGOF or half price offers in supermarkets, can anyone suggest a delicious and very affordable coffee. I haven't tried supermarkets' own brands (Aldi, Lidl, Tesco) and was wondering if someone could advise? I am looking for coffee of medium strength (not expresso type).
Thanks in advance.

Hi, we get ours from home bargains, choice of douwe egberts and lyons and several varietys of both.£1 per pack, uually about £2.50 to £3.50 at least so big saving. Lyons superior and douwe egberts no 5 for filter machines are both good. know what you mean, instant is awful when you are used to fresh.
sometimes poundland has douwe egberts as well, long dates.

The Douwe Egberts bags in Home bargains are lighter than those in the regular supermarkets. The Lyons bags in Hone Bargains are slightly heavier than the Douwe Egbarts ones. I think Lyons is 175g and DE is 150g if memory serves right. I now buy Bellaroma Gold 500g packs for £3.29 from Lidl and think it's fine.

We get ours from homebargains too for 99p poundworld or poundland sell the same one's!

Yeah, I get Lyons from the 99p Store, I think they sometimes do Douwe Egberts as well. I tend to use these in a stove espresso coffee pot as my cafetiere broke a while ago. I actually prefer the coffee made like that and haven't reverted back to using a cafetiere since even though I bought a new one recently, appears stronger if made in a espresso coffee pot. Think the 99p Store do slightly smaller packets now though still appear cheaper than what you get in the supermarkets.

Lidl Gold is nice and I can really recommend Sainsbury's Basics which is fair trade & great for the price. I usually have a bag of this at work for an individual filter coffee as like you instant is just nasty with a really odd back taste. Mellicano is supposed to be the best (closest to fresh) instant coffee and a colleague has swapped to this rather than his cafetiere.

Cost wise I don't seem to be paying any more than when we just had instant.

Mellicano - I bought this when it was on offer a while back. I think it's a terrible filter coffee taste and an ok instant coffee. But I don't like instant so I brought it in to work.
I am also looking for cheap filter coffee so thanks for the thread.

There's a great range in Aldi, Italian, French, Amercian, Brazilian, Colombian etc., cheaper than the major supermarkets and excellent taste.
