I don't do coffee but yesterday I was so tired I found some crusty old Nescafé in the cupboard and quite liked it.

I was just wondering what other people drink and love?

Needs to be instant & black

Nespresso arpeggio (the purple one)

Ethelswith · 14/07/2020 08:41

I like strong black coffee and get Cafe Direct fairtrade strength 5

Ricekrispie22 · 14/07/2020 09:02

If I was drinking instant coffee I would want a something well balanced, strong yet chuggable without making my eyes water which is what 100% Arabica has to offer. I’d go for Cafe Direct Machu Picchu, which is rich but not at all bitter.

Do I need a nespresso machine??

I literally just want something I can pour hot water on

Lavazza classic (red). Available in most shops. I make it in the french press.

onalongsabbatical · 14/07/2020 13:42

Ha ha yes, Lavazza in a cafetiere, easy as making tea. I've tried all kinds nothing beats a good Lavazza OP. Buy yourself a METAL cafetiere so you don't break a bazillion glass ones. Cafetiere and French press mean the same thing.

Nescafe Azeera is my favourite instant; it's pricey but tastes good. I also like Beanies flavoured coffee (some supermarkets sell it or you can buy direct from their website)

MozzchopsThirty · 14/07/2020 14:06

I have a cafetière Grin god knows why, think it was a wedding present

Will give those a try thanks for the recommendations

Arpeggio from my Nespresso machine - sorry not instant!

uncomfortablydumb53 · 14/07/2020 14:26

My Favourite instant is cheap but tastes expensive!
Asda extra special Colombian
It's exactly like Azera but ÂŁ1.98 per jar

AnnaNimmity · 14/07/2020 14:28

Lavazza, not instant - cafetiere or aeropress makes really good coffee.

Percol or Nescafe azeera are the best instants, but I don't drink them unless I have to.

Definitely not pod machines - all the coffee is vile imo.

BabyMoonPie · 14/07/2020 14:29

@uncomfortablydumb53 I will try that, thanks for the tip

Toddlerteaplease · 14/07/2020 14:32

I second Nespresso Arpeggio. Dulit intenseo is also lovely.

SauvignonBlanketyBlank · 14/07/2020 14:33

Lidl barista americano.Much better than kendo,nescafe etc.

Toddlerteaplease · 14/07/2020 14:33

My nesspresso machine is one of the best things I've ever bought. I prefer it to Nero's coffee.

SauvignonBlanketyBlank · 14/07/2020 14:33

Kenco!

AlCalavicci · 14/07/2020 14:39

If you are willing to use your French press ground coffee is much better and only take as long as making a cup of tea.
Depeningvon the coffee and the strength you like you need about 2/ 3 very heaped teaspoons per cup , pour very hot water on give it a good stir put the lid on and allow it to stand for a few minutes then slowly push the plunger down, pour your coffee slowly don't drain the the press completely or you will get some if the grounds on your cup.
My standard go to is Tescos own French style number 5 or my fave is Whittards Guatemalan elephant ( yes I promise that's it's propper name !)

Hyperion100 · 14/07/2020 14:45

When I'm feeling fancy I treat myself to some dark arts coffee but most of the time just any fair trade italian roast. Always in a cafetiere.

I have a nespresso machine but find I need 2 pods to get to a decent americano strength.

spikyplants · 14/07/2020 14:46

When I'm back in NI I load up on this - upperlandscoffee.co.uk/shop/uncategorized/black-velvet-coffee/. Strong yet smooth. Must order some more!

Tavannach · 14/07/2020 14:47

For an instant - Lavazza Prossimo Intenso, in the black and gold.

Tavannach · 14/07/2020 14:48

Prontissimo

uncomfortablydumb53 · 14/07/2020 22:28
