Student + Coffee

I've found Illy to be nice, although called espresso it is perfectly drinkable and goes in my Bodum cafetiere OK.
You used to be able to find it on amazon for £5.
The best thing is you get a great steel tin (250 gram size) which is airtight and fits perfectly in the fridge.
The coffee which smells best when you open it I find it Taylors of Harrogate but it is expensive, used to be often on offer, two for a fiver (i.e. 2 x 227 g).

Home Bargains have a 200g tin of Nescaf! Gold Barrista Style for £5 which is a decent coffee for instant.

I’ve just been down and got another tin there were only 2 left on the shelf after that and had been moved to the bottom so they may not be back here.

Do you see how that works? The OP has asked for help finding a decent coffee at a good price - not nonsense like your post.

OP - I'd recommend a good ground coffee.

be gone with your instant for cost savings.

buy a 4 bialetti stove top, and any old ground coffee, even the cheapest comes out drinkable, it will do a large mug of STRONG coffee or two if you let down with water to the strength you like.

a lot of the lidl ones at around £1.50 a bag are decent enough and you'll get 10 - 15 lots of coffee from it depending on how strong you like it.

even the poundland Caffè di Italia 250g bags are ok.
