Best tasting instant coffee

flubberyzing

For regular, it's whatever is on offer, although I avoid supermarket own brands.
For decaff, it's kenco (green top), which is the only one I've found that I can't tell the difference with!

My favourite is Kenco Millicano also like the "New" Millicano Dark Roast, but has anyone else noticed that the Dark Roast tins are only 95g (52 cups) down from 100g (55 cups) ?

Craft Kenco !... Hoped we wouldn't notice? :mad:

I wouldn't bother with a cafetiere.
Tesco have Tassimo machines at half price, £44.99 (As they do every Easter). At that price it really is a bargain.

A cafetiere is still a lot cheaper than £44.99.

If you just want to drink standard black or white coffee a cafetiere is a great option. For the best tasting coffee get a grinder and grind beans freshly, although you can of course use pre-ground coffee. Stovetop "moka" pots are another great inexpensive option.

I don't like pod machines. Yes, they are convenient but are not environmentally friendly given all the packaging they get through. If you use coffee beans you have an almost infinite range of coffees available to try - some independent coffee shops blend and roast their own, for example - but with pods you've just got a fixed range available. And the coffee they make isn't that great IME - it's not bad, but nothing exceptional.

Inkjet printers are a bargain, too.

I like the regular coffee from waitrose cafe white.. Not into latte or cappuccino etc. What's the closest to this cafe coffee I can make myself? Instant granules like azera or do I need a machine? Thanks

Organic.
I buy Clipper organic from Sainsburys. Maybe cheaper elsewhere.
'Highlands' sourced I've read has less fungal contamination ...
Apparently we should only drink 2/3 cups of normal caffeinated tea or coffee a day.
Just water is best,I do not trust fluoridated.

May be a radical idea, but perhaps Ask Waitrose? I know their machines use beans (I watch - it's part of the fun) but they'd be a reasonable place to start for an instant version, if you weren't ready to buy a machine that starts with beans.

Hello,
I have started to enjoy a coffee every other day, I am happy with a regular white coffee from waitrose cafe or Gregg's.
I'm not sure how they make this... Or how I could replicate it myself to save money, maybe with a insulated mug or flask.
What coffee would I have to buy from the shop to get a similar coffee to a regular white from a cafe?
Or is it not possible because they use machines to make it?
Sorry I'm a bit of a coffee newbie as I've always drunk tea until recently!
