I will not enter this discussion - there are two posts, in a thread that is supposed to be about good coffee, that amount to heresy - one that mentions Nescafe and another that talks about 'a coffee machine' - wash out your mouths!!!!

Nescafe is an abomination! As are coffee machines, coffee pods, any instant coffee, Starbucks, so-called 'coffee liquors', flavoured coffee (vanilla, hazelnut etc) and that disgusting thing 'camp coffee' (the type that comes in a brown bottle)

You have to wait 30 minutes for 'instant' coffee to make it taste good?Clearly, you have never been schooled in the proper preparation of Nescafe'. You need a Stanley Aladdin stainless steel thermal bottle, preheated. Replace that water with the instant and the condiments and let it sit, sealed for 30 minutes. Then pour a mug. Of course it helps to have fresh mountain snow melt water at your fingertips.
The local dark roast beans here are pretty good for "real" coffee.
Brilliant things, really the best portable espresso. I sold mine to Toddy because I’d replaced it with the Nanopresso which is pod friendly, but I miss the inbuilt cup on the Mini.I got one of these doohickeys in my Christmas stocking a couple of years back.

If you like a caramel or a sweeter note to your coffee, may I suggest a Mexican Single Origin coffee? Non-Chiapas light roast may be a good one for you. Go for the Chiapas Medium roast if the light roast is not sweet enough. .Yep, and it takes 8 minutes for the coffee to go a weak colour! That coffee would be far too weak for me.
The best flavours come out of the roast in the first 20 seconds when water at 98deg is applied (the caramels and the oils) - the only flavours that are added after a couple of minutes are the bitters - hence why the very best flavoured coffee (in my opinion ) is hot water (to your taste) added to steam generated Espresso or, second best, hot water added straight to the ground beans and filtered after no more than a couple of minutes. I use a (very) heaped scoop of Italian blend, 100% Arabica, strength 4, for every 300ml mug.
I know some of you like Turkish coffee and the like, and I can enjoy the occasional cup, but it's not my go to, every day, preference
I even use it at home, where I have a proper DeLonghi espresso/steamer machine.Brilliant things, really the best portable espresso. I sold mine to Toddy because I’d replaced it with the Nanopresso which is pod friendly, but I miss the inbuilt cup on the Mini.
