Another vote for this. I've not had one bitter cup yet from it.

Hate cheap coffee, if it's a good friend i would say she's probably worth buying the decent stuff for. You can quite often pick up carte noir or gold blend on a reasonable offer. I'd be a bit upset if my best mate suddenly started giving me rubbish coffee....

You should get what you're given .... or take your own.

I have tried lots of different coffees, Dou Egberts, Nescafe, Aldi branded and find that I find the nicest to be Kenco Rich blend.

On offer at Tesco at the minute, £3 for a 150g refill pouch.

Yep, not the cheapest but there are some things not worth compromising on, coffee and loo rolls!

it's Nescafe AZERA 'Barista Style Instant Coffee' 60g - I bought it to try as it looks similar to the Starbucks Barista Style & half the price!

Not used it yet as still using up some Nescafe Alta Rica which my other half loves.

I agree - for my tastes, I cant tell the difference between this and Nescafe Gold Blend. But I could with the Aldi version ...

I think the best you can do is try ... and if it's not right, mix it with your usual, to mask the taste! (I actually do that with hot chocolate - I get the cheap one from Aldi or Sainsbobs and mix it with Options when it's on offer! Now I cant have it any other way!)

Have you tried Lidl's hot choc - I used to be addicted to it, and a lot of people I know also agree it's fab - and cheap too boot!

Yes, but how does that compare in price, gram for gram?
