For decaff instant I recommend Nescafe Azera Americano. Almost always on offer somewhere at half price 2.50 to 3.00.

I mostly use Lavazza Rossa, consistently full flavoured and I never tire of it.

I also love Percol Americano and Taylor's Rich Italian Roast.

Morrisons coffee from Guatemala, regularly sold out now partly because of us!

Waitrose Italian blend, that is "4" , quite strong but not bitter, M&S do an Italian blend that is good too. I use a Boden stainless steel insulated cafetiere, after many years i now feel I have got the coffee thing right.

Ialways keep my fresh coffee in the freezer

If I get the chance to pop into a Waitrose their 1 range is very dependable, I go for anything with a 4 rating. I have also moved over to a small Melita filter machine that has an insulated jug (rather than a heat plate which tends to stew the coffee)….it keeps it in good condition and nice and warm for a good two hours. I went of cafetiere coffee as it was just too 'muddy' when I was using the nice sturdy blends that I prefer.

For consistency, Lavazza. Also their decaf (kept for friends, I don't drink decaf). but avoid Taylors decaf. Really very unpleasant. Real and legit Blue Mountain (there are loads of counterfeit ones because it's only grown in one small area of Jamaica and is scarce) can be got from Fortnums but is £25 for 125 grammes of beans (not ground).
I like Mocha Sidamo (Ethiopian), usually good although not the Sainsbury's one and there are a number of brands.

I usually buy Taylors coffees ,never been disappointed with them ,for a quick morning cup I buy Percol Espresso Noir in Morrisons

I love good coffee, use either stove top thingy or cafetière, but I am so fed up with buying umpteen different brands all promising fabulous flavour, depth etc., but delivering nothing.
My all time favourite is Blue Mountain, but can’t get hold of that for love nor money, do you use one that you absolutely love, or even really like?.
My fave instant is Aldi Columbian but their ground stuff notso much, any recommendations would be gratefully accepted, thanks?
