Kingsland Codger Posted 14 September, 2012 Share Posted 14 September, 2012 Can anyone recommend a seriously good instant coffee? Laziness is getting the better of me and rather than go through the hassle of regularly flying out to Brazil, picking the beans, coming home, grinding them and all the usual stuff, it might be easier and less time consuming to simply add a spoonful or two to some boiling water. Gold Label always used to be fairly reliable, but the choices available now are bewildering. Many thanks in advance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notnowcato Posted 14 September, 2012 Share Posted 14 September, 2012 I've tried an instant coffee that Starbucks sell, it's the best I've tasted. As a rule I'm a cafetiere man, I'd rather drink my own pish than instant coffee. Just sayin' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo-Saint Posted 14 September, 2012 Share Posted 14 September, 2012 Dow Egberts is a fairly safe bet. A lot also depends on how you like it to taste. Supermarkets usually do a premium own brand range from different countries around the world. The African range is usually very strong straight tasting stuff, with the South American stuff having varying degrees of bitterness. My personal favourite to drink on a daily basis is Tesco's taste the difference Costa Rica. Nothing too special but a good way to start the working day.

Lets B Avenue Posted 14 September, 2012 Share Posted 14 September, 2012 Agree with Douwe Egberts and would also recommend Cafe Direct's Machu Picchu (Peru). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CylonKing Posted 14 September, 2012 Share Posted 14 September, 2012 I would recommend the Highland Freeze Dried Fairtrade\Fairglobe Instant coffee from Lidl. Really good for an Instant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingsland Codger Posted 15 September, 2012 Author Share Posted 15 September, 2012 Many thanks for these suggestions. I had a check at my local super and the only ones of the above I noticed were Douwe Egberts and Nestle Azera. The Azera was available in a pack of 5 'sticks' - convenient for a quick trial. Very tasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buctootim Posted 15 September, 2012 Share Posted 15 September, 2012 Most instant coffee is made too weak. Put two spoons in a mug and its more like filter coffee strength and tastes better for it. Nescafe blend 37 is good, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearsy Posted 16 September, 2012 Share Posted 16 September, 2012 I dunno where to start with this. I ain't a happy bear! I dunno what's more disturbing, the idea that someone thinks they can come in Muppet Shows and start sensible discussions bout coffee or that people who should know better like Tokyos and Colins and Tims are bleeding well having joining in a sensible discussion bout it! I feel like I go awol for like a couple of days and the whole world goes mad! I mean, the whole thread is bent anyways. Everyone knows all coffee tastes exactly the same and it's only pretendtio- pritenscio- like toffs what is pretending otherwise like them big noses going round pretending they can tell like an expensive wine from a cheap wine without seeing the label which is all total ******** cos if i was blindfold i don't reckon i could even tell red wines from white wines. Oooh this one tastes nutty you can detect the delicate cheese of the unwashed peasant woman what was treading the grapes barefoot and the spanish horsefly that sexed up the grapes, on a thursday mid morning if i'm not mistaken. It's all balls! This sh!t should be in the lounges! I jizz in your instant coffees! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tokyo-Saint Posted 16 September, 2012 Share Posted 16 September, 2012 Sorry Bear, I thought it was the lounge and before you know it, I had replied. I do like coffee though Bearsy, as you get older it replaces crack and pills and £1 shots of tequila and stuff. I once thought it was all the same and then one day my Mrs bought some from the £1 shop. It tasted like muddy water! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearsy Posted 16 September, 2012 Share Posted 16 September, 2012 one day my Mrs bought some from the £1 shop. It tasted like muddy water! I only once ever went in the pound shop. It weren't my fault, you know what birds is like for bargains. Anyways as we we're queueing up (why is their queues! surely it don't take long to add up pounds?) this ugly, middle aged, squatish hairy lipped woman in front turns round and goes "Why don't they open more tills" and as she pronounced the T of Tills she spat a ball of spit in a delicate arch straight into the slightly open lips of my girlfriends mouth. It was looools from my point of view! My bird nearly sh!t. I'd of paid more than a pound just to see the horrified expression on her face! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tokyo-Saint Posted 16 September, 2012 Share Posted 16 September, 2012 If it wasn't for women there would be very few shops in the world if any. The shops that there would be, would be simply functional. Maybe everyone would shop online or just pay some money for some insurance. You would put somewhere what you like and when that ran out, the company would pay out and supply a new one. I was in Cyprus recently and got dragged rounds shops and shops selling the same absolute tat. They were full of woman looking for a bargain and then blokes like me looking at their phones wishing Cyprus had 3G. If anyone moans this has gone off topic - then it shouldnt be posted in the muppet show. That's what we do, take things off topic, talk crap and then turn it into some kind of word association game. Take it to the lounge, in there 2 people will argue for days and days about which coffee is best and if god had a say in making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearsy Posted 16 September, 2012 Share Posted 16 September, 2012 That's exactly it Tokyos. It's like trousers. When I wear out a pair of trousers I want the exact same pair again. I don't want to have to spend hours traipsing round shops checking out different trousers to find a pair what is similar. I feel like i done that already, get me the same pair again! I've taken to buying a couple of pairs when I buy trousers but that ain't quite right cos at the time of purchase I don't know how committed I am to them trousers, and being a dude i ain't gonna take them back if I don't like them. When I've lived with them for a while, and grown to love them or whatever, it's a real ball ache when they lose their shape, or colour, or I dribble tomato sauce on the crotch. It's like a bereavement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I speak for most men when I say that the thought of another person's ejaculate leaving its hairy muzzle and arcing towards our loved one's mouth would fill us with horror. But not you. You queer bear. P.S. People are still taking the p*** out of your (admittedly self-appointed) moderatorship of The Muppet Show. They're still talking about teas and coffees. Get this back to the Lounge or you'll have a leadership challenge on your hands. You're fast becoming the Nick Clegg of the moderator team.
