Yeah yeah, I know.

Anyway, I’m off to Sainsburys in a bit (weekly shop) and need some new instant coffee. I’ve been drinking Kenco Columbian recently, but i was wondering if there is anything else I should try.

Nothing too strong, probably around a 3, which the Columbian is.

Cheers.

Get out.

Mellow birds?

That Cart Noir stuff

And yeh, get out!

Nescafe Azera Americano is worth a try–it’s on offer in Sainsburys at the moment, £2.50 for 100g

sainsburys own gold roast instant, pretty good for instant stuff.

Sainsbury’s Rich Roast is the only instant I’ve been able to stomach for years. Cheaper than the other stuff too. But… after years of being an instant coffee addict, I stopped going to Sainsbury’s and stopped buying instant coffee. I now drink tea or “proper” coffee (as my mum would have it).

The only instant coffee that I have ever found to be remotely palatable is Clipper Organic stuff like this:

It’s actually bloody brilliant when all things are taken into consideration (coming from someone who owns the tools to make coffee 4 different ways). Just make sure you experiment with different temps of water to get the best brew.

I usually get it in Waitrose but I suppose if the Sainsburys in large enough they might sell it too.

Aren’t those one cup drip things near enough instant for you? That’s what I used when I had to stay in a house with limited kitchenware.

I was actually quite pleased with one of those coffee bag things. Not instant, but no more needed than with a cup of Tea!

Ended up going with Huckleberry’s suggestion of the Nescafe Azera as it was on offer. We’ll see tomorrow morning 😀

Too late for this time but I’d recommend trying Percol instant coffee (Colombian is my usual). I used to flit from one intstant to another just buying whatever was on offer but now I have Percol on repeat ‘subscribe & save’ order with Amazon so I don’t have to go hunting for it.

Before I became a coffee snob I found Percol the best.
