Instant Coffee

[ethandron]

I know there are some who would only drink freshly brewed coffee, I'm after opinions from those who drink instant.
Currently, and for the past number of years, Ive been drinking Nescafé gold blend. However I'm thinking of trying some different ones and wondered if anyone had any recommendations.
Costco currently have an offer on for Douwe Egberts Pure Gold, and their Indulgence one too, so I'm going to give both a go.
Anyone drink any they think is the bees knees??
Thanks.

It's impossible to recommend something which is a matter of personal taste. I like fairly mild coffee, some people like it strong. Do you drink it black/white, with/without sugar etc. I prefer the "ordinary" Nescafe to Gold Blend, obviously you don't. You'll just have to try a few and pick your own new favourite.

I don’t like Douwe Egbert anything and I have tried them. I used to be a gold blend fan till I tried Gold Blend Barista which I like better.

If I get Douwe Egberts I get the indulgence as I prefer stronger coffee.

I agree about D-E's coffee.. not all that good. I like Nescafe Alta Rica.

[Jackdaw33]

I'm with ginge. That's the only one I buy.

[ummmm]

I drink Nescafe original.

I buy Carte Noire Classic. £3.99 for 100g jar. But it is half price in Co-op & Tesco simultaneously. I think very nice.

One of the cheapest instant coffees is, somewhat surprisingly, among the very best, IMO:

Try Nescafe Blend 37

[ethandron]

Thanks very much everyone, that's really helpful.
bhg, it's a bit like wine, recommendations are always welcome even though it's obviously down to personal taste.
I'll give all those coffees mentioned a go. I'm trying to find an instant that is really flavoursome. I love real coffee but not enough to put up with all the faff surrounding making it an disposing of the used grounds...a bit like tea leaves, can't be done with it!
Anyone drink lavazza instant, actually do they do instant?

[Buenchico]

Lavazza don't do instant coffee. If you like good coffee with a kick to it, the closest you'll get is likely to be Illy - but it's ruddy expensive!

I`m not a coffee drinker but my Mum liked Folgars which I brought back from the US. It`s available on Amazon.

Switched from Nescafe to Carte Noire Classic ... highly recommend you give it a try.

[Elina]

I like both Ethan. I go with ginges Alta Rica ... & the Carte Noire

[Prudie]

I never drink coffee but asked OH and he says Kenco range.

[pixie374]

I'm not that fussy with instant coffee, but do find D-E too weak.

[pixie374]

Lenovo or Carte Noir are both good imo.

[pixie374]

Kenco....autocorrect :-)
