They say you get what you pay for , we ran out of coffee so bought some "own brand" oh goodness the difference , funny flavour and had to use twice as much . Although the very best we think is fresh made in a cafetiere . brew

I only drink coffee if my eldest daughter calls around I make it in a cafetiere with decaf freetrade coffee , I actually don't like coffee very much and prefer tea any day.. I find it makes me thirsty

I love my strong back coffee day or night and am really fed up with coffee shops who serve this murky brown water, no crema, tepid and tasteless and SO expensive.

Don"t laugh , but McDonalds serve a good coffee , if I go into any other coffee shop I usually have a double expresso , agree though --- pricey ! brew

I enjoy a McDonalds coffee too. I seem to be very odd in the world of coffee drinkers because I prefer instant but it has to be the right instant. I like the Coop fairtrade gold lid.

I prefer instant coffee too, I like Kenco. I agree that McDonald's coffee is very palatable.

I also prefer innstant coffee, Nescafe original does OK for me. Tried Birds a while back, YUCK! like drinking gravy, and bad gravy at that!

We always bought decaf instant from one of the 'budget' basic supermarkets and loved it. They can't get it anymore and we have tried nearly everything else but can't find anything half as nice. For ordinary, non-decaf, Millicano hits the spot. Now I'm going to have to go and put the kettle on!

Back to McDonalds , when we are in the states we always hop in there for our coffee , which we get at the senior price , 69 cents , and a bottomless cup . The instant coffee we like is Nescafe , think it has a nice "rich flavour " cupcake seems to go with coffee

There was a thread on this a month or so ago. Pity we can't amalgamate them! TECH!!!
