To ask which instant coffee is nicest?

[Elephant17]

I know it will never be the same as proper coffee but surely some are better than others?!

Percol americano

Percol I'm working my way through Italian, Colombian and Decaf.

Our coffee machine broke a couple of weeks ago so we tried all of the instant ones....

We just bought a new coffee machine.

Well, it's obviously a personal taste thing, but my favourite is Alta Rica - I have two teaspoons per cup.

Nescafe Espresso for me.

None. Sorry. They all taste of burnt caramel.

I like Millicano and Azera.

Lavazza Prontissimo Classico

All coffee, instant or otherwise, is an abomination!

Some instants are lovely, I brought a nice Kenco back I had bought to use on holiday in France. So many coffee snobs around.

Kenco and Douwe Egberts are fine really. They will do. Of course real coffee is better but many workplaces don't have coffee machines.

I like Douwe Egberts, but have recently been served Aldi's own special colombian roast (or something) and it was extremely lovely, on a par with the DE I'd say.

I love Nescafé Azura x

For me, Nescafe Azera is miles better than any other instant coffees

Thanks for suggestions! Don’t have the money or space for a machine.

Percolator will be a good future investment but at the moment flicking a kettle on is much more convenient.

To PP I’m not a coffee snob, I love a good instant (if it’s good)! It’s just they seem to vary in quality somewhat and I’m about to go shopping so want to make sure I don’t pick a dud

Another Azera fan here! But I stock up when on offer as £5 is a lot for a tin of instant!

Try a cafetiere.
If they dont taste of caramel they taste of liquorice. I have broken my beloved cafetiere and will drink tea until I can replace it.

Azera or kenco millicano.

They both have super finely ground fresh coffee in the granules so taste markedly more like proper coffee than any of the other instant coffees

Dowe egberts is drinkable in a pinch too

Kenco here - won't have any Nestle products in the house.

Nescafé Azera Intenso. It has to be Intenso. Whenever I see it on sale I have to hold myself back from clearing the shelves!
Generally instant coffee is... bleurgh. But I love this so much my coffee machine is gathering dust.

Azera

Another vote for Nescafé Azeri ( americano)

L'or

I have a dolce gusto but I still love Nescafé Gold Barista (black tin) and Azera Americano
