Best Fairtrade Coffee?

NBirdy

Hi, I'm hoping someone could suggest some decent (at least drinkable!) instant coffee that is fairtrade and reasonably priced too, please?

Thank you! :T

M&S instant is fairtrade and cheaper than many. I find the quality is good too. Sometimes it goes on offer.

Sorry to hijack thread but what about filter coffee, does anyone know any good websites that sell fair trade filter coffee at a good price?

1jim,

Cafedirect is on offer at Tesco, all 227g packs are currently 2 for £6 (£1.32/100g).

Sainsbury's Basics Roast & Ground Fairtrade Coffee (227g) is currently £1.69 (74.4p/100g) and Sainsbury's Original Blend for Filters Medium Roasted Fairtrade Ground Coffee (454g) is currently £4.19 (92.3p/100g). And Sainsbury's Continental Style Fairtrade Coffee (454g) £4.25 (93.6p/100g) (these are all normal prices).

Don't know of any websites I'm afraid.

Is the Sainsbury's Basics any good? I quite like a lot of their Basics range but haven't tried the coffee.

I like Sainsburys Basics ground coffee and it's fairtrade. There's never much on the shelves so it must be popular.

I don't know about the instant, I wasn't great when I tried it years ago.

another vote for M&S instant fairtrade

Thanks for the replies so far. I need the instant coffee for a coffee morning encouraging people to swap to fairtrade - hopefully by showing them an affordable and acceptable alternative to their usual brands (Nescafe/Kenco etc) so it needs to taste decent and not be too expensive. I've got the Sainsbury's Basics teabags as they're fairtade and make a pretty decent cuppa (27p for 80 teabags! ) so just need to sort the coffee.
