Instant Coffee Suggestions
Ask a Question
I have been a coffee drinker my whole life. I have been buying Sainsburys instant decaf coffee for some years. All of a sudden I’ve gone right off it. Not sure if it’s just me that’s changed or if they have changed it in some way. Currently £1.49 to £2. Nescafé jumps to £3.50. So I’m on the lookout for another brand at similar price or not too much more. I know I can’t stand mellow bird. Anyone have any recommendations? Thank you.
There's a deal on Amazon for Kenco Millicano every so often. I picked up 6 cans of Intenso for £8.70 this week and it's £5.35 for 1 at Tesco atm. No good if you don't have Prime, but keep your eyes out otherwise.
Instant coffee is a capital offence lol.Lidl's Azera coffee copycat just about passes muster as/when/if in a caffeine crisis.
MelissaLee1 I’m actually after decaf instant. . Although I do drink caffeinated as well but that’s not instant. I need to alternate.
Sorry I can’t help on this one as I don’t like the taste of a hot coffee but absolutely love the smell of coffee beans and love coffee chocolates
I agree about mellow bird I don’t like it at all either. Not really a fan of dowe eggberts either. I usually just look in one of the discount stores and find some big jars of Kenco with some money off them.
Lidl and Aldi both do a decaff version of the Azera coffee. My mum and mother in law, who are both instant coffee snobs, absolutely love it.
I must admit I can't tell the difference between the various standard freeze dried coffees available from most supermarkets. I tried an indonesian blend from Lidl recently which was slightly above the standard freeze dried for pricing and it was awful. Generally I go from basic freeze dried coffee to fresh coffee rather than buy any mid-level premium coffee. I can't stand the cheap granulated coffee. Some of the premium coffees do seem to have a lot of additives in which I'm not keen on which puts me off however I will buy them when there is a big offer on them to try.
I have always used Asda own, it's reasonably price and tastes ok, I'm just use to it I guess
I’ve gone for Nescafé. Only £3 so next jump up but at least it’s palatable. Tried it, liked it so husband bought a big jar for £6 on nectar price as cheaper per gram overall so bit of a bulk buy there. Should last ages.
I regularly read reviews of brands. The coop own best blend has terrific reviews. I use there tea bags
My other half would always drink kenco he went off it now he drinks Aldi gold that was £1.89 it's now £2.49
We stick to Kenco Milicano, although it can be expensive its usually on offer somewhere. We usually get it from Amazon on Subscribe and save for 6 tins which work out a lot cheaper than Tesco at the moment. It does vary massivly in price though. Tesco is £5.35 a tin at the moment but it was £6.50 recently. Works out £3.40 on s&s but has been a lot less.
I don't drink coffee anymore but always buy the instant from Aldi and there's no complaints.
