Instant Coffee

ThemeOne

I've been very happily using Red Mountain for the past few years, as sold by Poundland, 99p Store and, more recently, Iceland.

But they seem to have reformulated it recently and it doesn't seem nearly as nice. A shame as it seemed a real bargain.

So what instant coffee would you recommend?

I don't like strong coffee, i have Mellow Birds.

I like Kenco decaffinated


I buy the refill pouches & then pass the empty pouch to the cat rescue charity shop as they get money for them - win, win!

I'm a big fan of the free Waitrose brew, but the one a day limit is a downer.
Given Poundland prices, I think you might consider trying a few - ideally in conjunction with a Tea Club so the total price of experimentation is shared around.
There are those who refuse Nescafe on moral grounds, but we're talking coffee here, yes?

Millicano, but I buy loads when it's on offer :-)

I've taken a liking to Sainsbury No 3, and stocked up using a 20% voucher. So OK for six months.

Douwe Egberts is the only one for me, I curse Netto for getting me hooked on it when they used to sell it for £3, now I only buy it when its on offer!! If not, Millicano is ok, and so is Carte Noire, and these 2 are nearly always on offer.

I stopped buying Douwe Egberts when they stopped selling it in 100g packs. Seemed such a petty and stupid move.

Ocado have Alta Rica 150 gram for £2.66. This is our favourite so have stocked up. Never seen it at this price before.

I tend to buy whatever is on offer when I need a new jar! Usually it's either Kenco Smooth or one of the Nescafe variants (but NOT the new Azera range - yuck!).


What's that one that sometimes comes in the silver plastic tub with the plastic lid? Carte Noire? I had a voucher for that, but didn't think much of it.

Whatever is on offer usually!!

Myself and OH have recently opted for decaff of whatever brand for home. Kenco, Carte Noire and Douwe Egberts are all lovely. Plus with Kenco I save the codes and get the decaf Millicano for free!
