Oooh and the Azera comes in offer regularly (maybe monthly?) in supermarkets so you potentially save a couple of quid. I never buy it at full price, but stock up when it's on offer.

Gold blend espresso is unbeatable!

Costa medium roast is amazing. It’s often on offer half price in Tesco so very reasonable too.

Yes, but the pods. I couldn't stand the eco-guilt so the machine (it was free) is going to the charity shop.
I know there is some recycling scheme but the pods shouldn't really exist in the first place.

Yes you are probably right. I use compostable pods but still not ideal.

Right so I have some
Morrisons bags strength 6 and they're pretty ok! I've ordered some of this too and will report back!

This one! The dark roastery one is my fav and I'm very fussy about instant! I used to love Blend 37 and was gutted when they stopped making it.

loobylou10 · 16/05/2024 11:34

It's usual price is around 5.50/6.50 but Google and it's always on offer for 3.50 somewhere.

Agreed. I really like it, but then I am a coffee philistine.

Cafe Direct Machu Picchu instant fooled me recently (and I never knowingly drink instant coffee). Expensive, but very good.

This one!

Crinkle77 · 16/05/2024 16:00

Agree Azera is nice but I do find it a bit weak and a teaspoon isn't enough so have to put extra in.

uncomfortablydumb53 · 16/05/2024 23:56

Azera Americano I always stock up wherever it's on offer
Nescafé Alta Rica is gorgeous, fits your brief, but not on offer very often

Fooshufflewickjbannanapants · 20/05/2024 04:50

This one wins so far! Lovely and strong and I don't need three spoons worth just one!

@Fooshufflewickjbannanapants try Illy instant. I get mine on Ocado but I think Waitrose sells it too. I’m very fussy about instant but find it less palpitation-inducing than the real thing (I use Illy for that too).

Lavazza Prontissimo Intenso. Stock up on it when it’s on offer.

Coffee bags. Taylors are the best.

I need at least 2 in a mug to make a half decent coffee - they are so weak!

Grind make compostable pods.

That's the one I swear by @Fooshufflewickjbannanapants. And I am VERY picky with my instant coffee!!

Have you ever tried Hack Coffee? It tastes great and has loads of good vitamins in. I have been making chilled coffes with it, blending with ice, milk and a little yoghurt (cocoa powder on the top too!!). Delicious and good for you.

I used to like the azera one best but discovered l'or artiste, it's a similar size tin and the fine grain instant coffee. It's delicious and strong. Even non coffee drinkers have commented on how amazing it smells. It's 7 quid a tin so I bulk buy when on offer

Omg this is utterly genius!! How many cups of it can you have a day? I wouldn't want to waste vitamins by overdosing 😂 but equally would want to know enough so as to maybe swap/reduce my daily tablets.

That also sounds good @zephyry will look out for that to try, though the normal Lor does tend to give me a headache, it's a sacrifice I'm willing to make in the name of research 😁

Lavazza pods are biodegradable, not made from aluminium so a better eco friendly choice. I can’t get on with instant coffee but take L’Or instant on holiday. Won’t buy Nestle products.

newyear2024 · 08/09/2024 08:34

I've tried the majority of instant coffees and this one comes out on top, leaves a creamy foam on top and is really smooth. There is a similar smaller 'espresso' one by nescafe and I'm convinced they are exactly the same

Strong nice instant coffee
LessMeek · 08/09/2024 09:33

Another who won't buy nestle. Kenco millicano is our go to.
