    Er don't think me a bot, but I've not found an instant coffee which comes anywhere close to the taste of coffee, freshly ground and made in a cafetiere. In some countries, Nescafe is double/three times the price of ground coffee which seems nutz.

    The best instant coffee I ever found was in Poundland and a Nescafe actually made in Brazil but not seen it in years.

    I buy the Tesco Everyday Value instant coffee. 57p for 100g so it's worth giving it a try even if you end up not liking it and throw it away!

    As I thought, the first time I bought it... I'd rather try it the once and risk 57p but then if I like it I'll save ££££s over time!

    Coffee is a very personal thing, what some love others will hate. I only ever buy mine in Farmfoods, though I have seen it also in Poundstretcher and B+M.
    Nescafe International Roast refill packs 76g usually 69p.....though last week was 2packs for £1.00...not been to F/F this wk so may not still be at the 2 pks for £1. Try it, and as socks_uk says 'you may save pounds in the future'.

    Douwe Egberts for me too, I have a huge jar of it and a spare but like others buy when it is on offer.

    Having said that, I also collect wrapped teabags and coffee sachets from hotels when I stay over, Kenco is fine.

    carte noire is my favourite although I am also using a Douwe Egbert expresso that I bought in Home Bargains.

    I dont drink much coffee (1 or 2 cups a day max) but when I do it has to be strong coffee

    Not per mug. A 100g jar of instant will make a lot more than three times as many as a 227g pack of beans.
  • I always stock up when kenco rapport is half price and if gold blend then that's a real treat.
