Best instant coffee

[coffeecakeandtea]

I’m looking to try a new instant coffee- does anyone have any recommendations of some good instant coffee? I use a cafeteria, but sometimes want to use instant coffee if I don’t have a lot of time!

James Hoffmann (coffee expert) and rated Little's Colombian instant coffee as the best supermarket instant coffee, but he also liked Percol Columbian.

I love douwe egberts

Azera is nice. Not as good as fresh, but really good for an instant.

Gold Blend, the smooth one, Velvety Crema I think it's called.

Percol or cafe direct

Azera for me

Agree azera or milicano

None haha they all taste horrible to proper coffee

Lavazza Prontissimo Intenso, in the gold tub. They seem to have stopped selling it most places sadly, it's amazing. Azera is pretty good but not as nice.

Nescafé Gold. I don’t like bitter coffee and that one is the freshest taste and smell of any of them.

We had a line up of that one, L’Or .Percol. Azera, Kenco and Costa at one point as DH buys any on offer. They all smell old compared to Nescafé Gold IMO.

I use coffee bags from New Kings Coffee. Buy online. Excellent service. Just as easy to make as using instant - & much nicer

Azera.

Costa coffee-they now sell tins of their instant coffee in supermarkets

Douwe Egberts.

M&S Fairtrade Gold instant coffee.
Was staying with a friend who has the cheapest most horrid corner shop own brand. Decided I'd treat her - M&S was nearest shop.

I really like Lor classic one. I need to use a fair bit but I really love the taste and smell. A lot of the others smell almost oily to me, or petrolly.

Illy coffee

Azera

Sainsbury's Taste the Difference Columbian.

Azera

The coffee drinkers in my house like Azera.

Azera of Nescafé Alta Rice if you can find it.

I’ve started using coffee bags instead of instant, Taylor’s in an orange box is nice.

Alta Rica

Kenco Colombian is nice for an instant.
