Instant coffee….advice needed.

M & S Italian, Grade 4.

I like the coffee bags but we're giving Costa smooth de-caff blend a go at the minute and it's quite nice

Kenco Millicano is my favourite…….only drink one coffee a day so I don’t think it’s an extravagance and it is often on offer in Tesco.

One of my GP’s questions at her surgery this week was about caffeine.
When I informed her that my total cups of tea and coffee combined per day was just 5 (and nil after 6pm) she replied that my limit ought to be just 3 or even better zero!

We always used to go for Alta Rica instant, if it’s still available. To me so much better than most.

I get stomach ache if I drink instant coffee started out of the blue several years ago.
So I buy ground coffee and coffee bags (Taylor's) both Caffeine and De-caf. I also subscribed to a Direct Coffee company and the De-caf they send is always fabulous, you wouldn't know any difference as its freshly ground coffee.

I only buy M&S coffee which I think comes in different strengths. I buy grade 3 which costs £7.50. I only drink coffee.

I’m another coffee bag fan.
I also like Taylor’s but prefer Stokes.
They are expensive but I probably only have 2 or 3 a week.

That’s interesting Georgesgran and of course Taylors make very good ground coffee.

Try Taylor’s coffee bags - various strengths available. They work just like a tea bag, but leave in for 3 minutes.

Thanks all 😃I think my best bet is to try all of them one at a time and see which I like best.

Another vote for Nescafé Azera . I buy several tins when it’s on special offer . My dh uses the tins for screws and nails .

Douwe Egberts pure gold medium roast instant coffee

Yes, Douwe Egberts
Although I do drink the decaffeinated one.

Another vote for Kenco Millicano.

I used to like Kenco Millicano. The original one is good but they do an intense one that’s pretty strong.
I don’t drink coffee at all these days as it upsets my stomach. 😩

Millicano. It's a good full bodied coffee. It's usually around £5 in most supermarkets but is currently on offer for £3.75 in Morrisons.

Douwe Egberts pure gold medium roast instant coffee

I have Nescafe Azera. Expensive but it's usually on offer somewhere. I find it richer and more coffee tasting than the run of the mill instants.

You used to be able to buy a small tin which would be good to try it out.
