best instant coffee

[southeastastra]

what's your favourite? i have just wasted £2.50 on cap columbie which tastes awful. i usually buy gold blend but that also tastes rank atm, what's the best?

I hate instant but do like Nescafe Espresso

you shouldn't pour boiling water on coffee, you wait until it stops boiling then pour, it tastes much better.

I have a cafetiere cosy for the days I have visitors.

I must wash my cafetiere thoroughly after use, I like it to be sparkling. I usually pull it apart let it dry then put it back together.

I'vwe tried all the Fairtrade ones and regretfully return to the Nescafe fold eventually because they all taste awful But 9 times out of 10 I drink real coffee anyway.

I have given up completely on instant and only drink real.

Cafe Direct for both instant and real. Although, I used to buy beans (from various Cafes/Whittards - oh my, the aroma) and grind them and then stick them in the freezer.

Kenco smooth is current favourite.
