Can anyone rec a ground coffee for this recipe please

sb44

I found the recipe below for Iced Coffee which I have never tried but like the idea.

We don't buy ground coffee though and I don't want to buy something that is too strong.

Has anyone any suggestions which would be the best to use?

We always drink coffee from a cafetiere - I can't stand instant coffee! Our favourite is Sainsbury's Original Fairtrade ground coffee No. 3. They do one for cafetieres and one for filters. As it says on the pack it's "smooth & mellow".

Everyone who has had coffee at our house has loved this one.

Thanks for that Topgranny I will have a search next time I am in there.

I suppose it doesn't matter which one of those I buy, filter or cafetiere as I will be using a cotton hanky to filter it through.

For something a bit different to what's widely available in the UK, I recommend trying an Arabic coffee. Sellers in this country include Arabian Coffees - can be found in a google search.

Try it with instant - most places in Greece use Nescafe or Jacobs - couple of recipes:

Works best if you have a powerful whisk-thingy (the battery milk whisks are pants, hand blenders work reasonably well).

I wouldn't bother doing it that way. (leave for 8 hours :eek: )

Buy some Starbucks Via instant & microground and simply make with that. I personally would use boiling water, let it cool, then add ice, but I have read, that it tastes perfectly good made with cold water for iced coffee.

They do sell an iced coffee specific one, but I don't know if you can get it in the UK.

We only drink "Lazy Sunday" by Taylors of Harrogate. It's really smooth with no bitter aftertaste. OH lived in The States for 10 years and doesn't like strong coffee
