Aldi instant coffee - which to buy?

Really sorry I know there are multiple threads on what to buy at Aldi but I have to dash to town in an hour and have just realised I'm nearly out of instant coffee. I'm going to Aldi anyway and wondered which coffee people have bought and liked. I got Nescafe Gold blend last time (I usually have Nescafe 'International' cheapie) but fancied a treat. But the Gold blend is very disappointing, very little flavour.
I reckon that being a continental store the coffee - like the scrummy cold meats - will be good, but can anyone recommend a tried and tested?
(Not ground, I've got plenty of that in the fridge at the moment)
Thanks

I have bought the fair trade coffee £1.99 is nice but a bit weak for me, had a cup of Columban coffee at a friend's this week and that was nice.
I find their own make Gold coffee too weak for me, I don't drink much coffee but when I do I like it to be quite strong0 -
I think the specially selected colombian is very nice0

Thank you everyone, just off now and that looks like a unanimous vote!!

I have switched to Lidl instant Blue Eclipse 100% arabica and it's pretty good. 74p per 100gms.0

I'm really disappointed - I looked for the Columbian coffee but there was none in stock, in fact there was hardly any coffee just a great big void in that section. I then went to look for the grapefruit marmalade that has also been recommended, and again, although there was a shelf label for it, there was none to be had (plenty of lime and lemon though) - both the assistant and I dug through boxes and boxes of it which was good of him. He had no answer to the coffee shortage though and I didn't want one of the few jars of gold blend or de caff that was all there was.
Sadly no Lidl anywhere near.
Thanks anyway, everyone, will look out for this coffee in the future. I expect your recommendations caused a stampede in Aldi in the half hour before I got there and it has all been bought!!

There's been no instant coffee in my aldi for 2 weeks now, starting to think they've had either a recall or a supply issue.
We love Carte Noir but if it's not on offer we drink Tesco Gold which is very nice for the money, wasn't keen on the aldi gold, had the same aftertaste as the tesco value coffee, so was hoping to try some of the others.MSE- The Glitchhikers guide to the galaxy0 -

Thanks Santer, that's an interesting website, I've never seen it before. Wonder why there's no instant coffee?0

Usually buy their 'Gold', but getting it is hit and miss. At Christmas they had 200g jars, but our local store hasn't had any large jars since then and 100g jars aren't always in stock.0
