Best freeze-dried coffee?

[Lysander]

OK you 'orrible lot. I've been really getting back into coffee recently for some reason and wanted to know what you thought were the better brands. At the moment I'm having Carte Noire and it's not bad. What do you all like and what can you recommend? I like my coffee black with no sugar and generally quite full-bodied and strong

Kenco Rapport, but all instant owns balls IMO. Sainsbury's Austrailian filter coffee for the win

 

[Lysander]

I know, but in the morning I can't really be bothered with filter coffee, hence I wanted to know what the best of the instant stuff was

Douwe Egberts have some fairly mental offerings.

Ah ha, a man after my own heart - I suffer with the same AM afflication. Solutions:

1) Get bird to make it
2) Get coworker to make it
3) Buy it from downstairs
4) Go without

If it has to be freeze dried then Douwe Egberts is the only choice.

Lidl freeze dried is like mud. Blech.

I drink (not too much mind):

Taylors Hot Java Lava - its VERY strong nice caffine boost

Nescafe gold blend is the best by far.

Crikey, you've just reminded me of some stuff that sent me into a pretty evil temper a long time ago...

Be warned, it's personality warping stuff. Good for getting motivated in the AM though!

Used to get those in Sainsburys a couple of years ago - they seem to have gone now thou

It's not like normal Nescafe is it? That stuff is utter sludge.

i agree, of the ones i've tried it's certainly up there. dowe egberts is also good, but i prefer gold blend. no it's much nicer than normal nescafe!

 

[Basher]

Nescafe original is like gravy! Gotta admit gold blend is nice, Douwe Egberts is a bit stronger though.

 

[lookitsjonno]

the nescafe fairtrade stuff is good too.

 

[Hen_Dawg]

Nescafe gold blend is the best by far.

But don't Nescafe murder babies in africa and stuff

I actually go for carte noir if I have to have instant

Cafedirect instant is the best, I used to drink it a lot.

Slightly O/T but, Melbourne where do you get your beans from?


(Cor, I haven't asked a question like that since my college days).

Do Nescafe make Blend 37 anymore?
