    Nescafe Alta Rica without a doubt for me

    If I were to say Alta Rica is the best I've found - but that I still think it barely tastes like coffee at all, can anyone who has found something better say what it is, please?

    Otherwise, I shall just have to stick to beans, which isn't always convenient.,

    It sounds as though you like a robust coffee like me, so often difficult to find an instant to satisfy. If you can get the right flavour just double up on spoonfuls to get the strength ;)

    Start at Poundland and work your way up .
    surely it's better to start at the 99p store and work your way up to Poundland?

    'Proper' coffee will always taste best, but I think Alta Rica is the nearest thing, my second choice is Blend 37

    I was afraid that might be the case - it's the best I've found so far, too. I was just hoping someone may have found something better.

    I must be too fussy for my own good - I don't even think ready ground coffee is very nice once it's been open for a day or so!

    Kenco Millicano gets a big thumbs up from me, I love proper coffee, but the instant I drink is millicano.
    Mum drinks coffee - she won't drink tea - she loves kenco decaf - £7 for big jar or £6 for the refill.

    I like both Blend 37 and Nescaf! Cafe Parisien, which I buy when it's on offer, as it's then cheaper than Blend 37 which is NEVER reduced!

    Nestle have changed the formula of Blend 37 and it tastes like cheap coffee now.

    I actually love Asda smart price 100g for 47p. I have had other more expensive brands and own brands in between but I honestly keep going back to this.
    We do use ground coffee as well, but this is my instant brand of choice.

    I have decaf coffee - Kenco is my favourite, but I like Doewe Egberts too
