Jeff Le Taxi Posted 8 March, 2012 Posted 8 March, 2012 Those new wholebean instants are really nice! Kenco Millicano especially and Carte Noir Instinct too ..... anyone tried them?
RonManager Posted 8 March, 2012 Posted 8 March, 2012 Those new wholebean instants are really nice! Kenco Millicano especially and Carte Noir Instinct too ..... anyone tried them? About time we had a 'damn fine coffee' thread. I've tried Millicano. IMO it's more 'real' than the usual freeze-dried products, but I don't think it's got the taste of wholebean. Haven't tried the Cafe Noir though so will check that out.
pap Posted 8 March, 2012 Posted 8 March, 2012 I love the stuff. I've got one of those pots you stick on the stove. Stronger the better, imo. Be warned though. Drinking 75 cups a day has a 50% chance of killing you.
Saint in Paradise Posted 8 March, 2012 Posted 8 March, 2012 If my wife drank 75 cups of strong coffee she would 100% kill anyone who was within reach. Cafeine has a real effect on her temper.
Saint-scooby Posted 8 March, 2012 Posted 8 March, 2012 I will try that millicano next, does anyone know where you can get a decent Turkish coffee now ?

Wurzel Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 I have been following a diet since Monday that for the first 5 days is almost a detox, includes no caffeine. Have been drinking decaffeinated coffee, but **** me, the headaches Monday to Wednesday were almost unbearable:x. Took a lot of will power, especially as I have a brilliant coffee shop next door to me at work. Diet or no diet (the food side of it I've had no probs with) I will be back on the proper stuff next week. Before that it was the Kenco Millicano I've been drinking at work. Good, but not as nice as "ordinairy" Carte Noire, my favourite instant, not tried their Instinct yet but it might well be first on next weeks list .

Saint_Pedro Posted 9 March, 2012 Posted 9 March, 2012 Got to be Whittard beans, freshly ground at home, in an espresso for me.. Guatamalan Elephant is the fave at the mo. Yes I know I'm a coffee snob, but I can't help it. Could never touch instant coffee ever again...
Jeff Le Taxi Posted 10 March, 2012 Author Posted 10 March, 2012 Thats the point i was trying to make, Millicano and Instinct dont taste like instant they are supposed to taste like whole bean........... and imo they do..try some!

Cafetiere is the closest you will ever get to a bean's hidden treasure. Coffee is not at it's best when bombarded with steam, boiling water etc, good coffee merely needs hot water and a minute to stew.
