Favourite instant coffee

[Whoowhoo]

If you would rather drink frogspawn than coffee where you haven't lovingly harvested and ground the beans yourself, maybe move along to another thread.

If you do drink instant coffee, what's your favourite one?

I'm coming to the end of a jar of Illy Classico which was good, but thinking I might switch it up if anyone's got any suggestions?

Azera Americano

But it's shot up in price so much that I'm now on the Aldi version. It isn't as good, and the price of that is also creeping up

Nescafe, always! Also stock up when its on offer

Lidl Deluxe Colombian. It's lush.

I'm quite happy with Tesco Decaf Gold 😅
Seriously I like coffee much more than tea but I'm not going to pay £7 for a jar when I can get one for £3

Azera guest blend Perky Blender.
I think it might have discontinued now though, very disappointing.

Nescafe Alta Rica, but only buy it when it's on offer (which is most of the time).

Little's instant coffees are good too but more difficult to find.

Aldi gold blend at the moment.

Can't stand the Azera powdery stuff. Like Milicano though. And Douwe Egberts (only when on offer) or L'Or.

Azera Americano.

I drink unsweetened black coffee. Have tried loads of fancy blends/ beans etc that people insist are so much nicer, but far and away my favourite is Nescafe classic instant .

Although I might get the Azero Americano if it's on offer when I go to Lidl 😊

The big tins of Millicano are quite often on offer in B&M I've found. Although not much use if there's no B&M near you!

Mellow birds 🤣

Yep

Azera Intense

Aldi Costa Rica specially selected

I totally agree with this, it is excellent for the price.

My absolute favourite though is Clipper Organic Latin American coffee but it's twice the price. I tend to have the Lidl one at work and the Clipper one at home.

Totally agree, Kenco Millicano is one of the few instant coffees I like. I'm not a great fan of Azera

Also with this "...so I only stock up on it when tesco have it on offer."

Waitrose currently have it on offer at £3.50.

Apart from sticking with Ily (which is very good) the only other suggestion I would make is perhaps Lavazza?

Or alternatively, if you're going to Waitrose anyway then a brand called Little's Columbian Coffee is very nice - I haven't seen this anywhere else though.

Douwe Egberts black

Currently on the Perky Blenders from Azera, don’t object to the ‘fancy’ Aldi Colombian, keep meaning to try the Ily but haven’t got round to it yet.

The dark Douwe Egberts. I enjoy 'proper' coffee but sometimes just need caffeine. This one is a tasty way to get it.

Milicano.

I don't like the sediment in the "premium instant" brands like Azera 🤢

Much prefer Cafe Direct / Nescafe Alta Rica / Clipper / Tesco Finest etc.

I much prefer Azera Intenso to the Americano one. So does DH, yet always picks up the wrong one on the occasion he does the shopping.

The Aldi own version of 'Azera' is nicer, especially the 'Intenso' one! But when I'm feeling flush then the Illy one for work.

Only two things in life not worth scrimping on for me.

1. Coffee
2. Toilet roll

Both are awful if bought cheaply 😬
