Instant Coffee

[EliPledge]

What is the best Instant Coffee, answerbankers, for those of us who take it strong and black? Used to like Blend 37 but fed up with it now.

i use Douwe Egberts Continental Dark Gold (it's called something along those lines anyway). However, I recommend you splash out on a filter coffee maker (as cheap as a tenner these days).

Plain old Nescafe orginal does it for me. Kenco red ain't bad. I have milk in mine so it probably tastes completely different.

I don't drink coffee, but my husband only likes Sainburys Gold Blend, if that's any use to you.

You can also get coffee bags, like tea bags but with filter coffee in them. I tend to use 2 right enough so would be costly if you drink loads of coffee (think they are around �1.90 for 18 bags). But they are quite convenient.

'good' instant coffee does not exsist!!! buy a cafetiere!!

Kenco blue is OK, but have to agree with the others, instant coffee is pretty awful. get yourself a cafetiere and open up a whole new world of delicious coffee.................maybe even get a bean grinder too?

I use Nescafe Gold Blend and make it strong. I also use beans and a cafetiere for when I have more time to sit and savour a pot of coffee.

For me, Douwe Egberts Continental Gold is very nice but I've since discovered that Marks & Spencers Italian is really very good too - both remind me of those strong coffees you get while on your holiday - yumma
