Instant coffee recommendations please!

[sciaticafanatica]

My usual Lor intense has gone up to £8 a jar at Tesco 😮
if you drink instant coffee, which one do you use??

I don’t drink instant apart from at work, my favourite is L’or artiste vigoroso, I stock up on it when it’s on offer.

Milicano original. I get it when it's on offer.

I buy coffee bags. They are the only nice alternative. Not bad value.

Douwe Egbert - refill pouches to top up the nice jar

That's exactly what I do! It comes up pretty regularly in Tesco on special offer. And it's really good coffee.

Coffee bags

Alta Rica
Expensive but you fo get offers

Cafe direct Macchu Picchu.

Lavazza, used to get prontissimo in Waitrose on offer but they seem to have stopped stocking it so I bulk buy from B and M.

Aldi knock off azeria or whatever it's called. I can't tolerate anything else

Asda Gold Roast, it's £2.45 for a 200g jar

I'm quite basic when it comes to coffee. Probably have 3-4 cups a week, and I don't like fancy strong filtered stuff.

Nescafé azera americano - I stock up on it when it’s on special

Azera. The price is ridiculous but they regularly discount by half so I buy it then.

The Costa instant or the Nescafé in a metal tin? Milicano … whichever is cheapest

Another for Nescafé Azera Americano

Same. On offer every few weeks so I stock up. Always got a spare in the cupboard.

I currently have 8 spare jars!

And another vote for Nescafé Azera Americano! It’s always on offer somewhere so I just grab it whenever I see the reduced offers.

Fun fact I learnt recently - “Americano” was originally a derogatory term used by Italians during WWII. The GIs in Italy found the local Espresso too strong and would top it up with more water, so the Italians took the piss out of them for it 🤣

I’m coming round yours for a cuppa then!

6.50 in b&m

Another vote for Azera, Americano but the intenso is not too bad if it’s the only one on offer, not much stronger than the Americano

I like Lidl Deluxe Colombian - or Tesco finest Colombian. Both are really good for the money.

Kettle's on!

I second this it’s really nice

I’ve replaced Azera with either Asda Extra Special Colombian or Sainsbury’s Taste the difference Costa Rica £3 per 100g
