Which is the best instant coffee.

I started to take my coffee with no milk or sugar.
If we go out and I get an Americano that's too strong for me.
So I prefer an instant. At the moment I'm using kenco smooth and that tastes too weak.
Any suggestions on brands.

Ask for a one shot Americano next time :)

Millicano. Have tried them all. Alta Rica is good too.

Douwe Egberts - Pure Gold, or Pure Indulgence

Clipper Organic for me. I like their decaf too and it's the only one I buy for home.

Why don't you just add another teaspoon of the Kenco if you find it's too weak?

Forgot to add a picture. This one. Plus it's organic, fairtrade and not supporting Nestlé!

Agree, that's why we buy Kenco as I have been boycotting Nestle for decades.

Another vote for coffee bags - they are much nicer than instant

I get Kenco Millicano, the big tins from B&M as it's a bit cheaper. I tried Illy once because its expensive and everyone raved about it but found it weak

The Aldi version of millicano is my favourite, the tin with the orange top

Douwe Egberts here too - or Taylor’s coffee bags if they are on offer (were £2.50 a box in Waitrose last week)
