I don't drink instant coffee often....but if I do a continental 2 in 1 it is .
I use Lidls ground coffee every day at home when in the field I have used Mors bush coffee method and it works very well ,

I also use a orlieb coffee filter with good results
But any continental blend coffee works for me

Quite how we are supposed to take the advice of someone who voluntarily drinks Fosters, I am not sure... 
When I grew up there was no fancy coffee making equipment in the house, just a pot. The water was boiled, then the coffee was added. Some of my friends did like Mors, and there were countless discussions on what was the best method.
I still do it like my parents taught me, but now is the time to try "the other way". Differences will be noted and reported back.
Agreed ~ though I didn't find grinding it difficult. Whittards Mocha Djima is also very good
. Apparently getting the roast right on MD is difficult, so much so that my current dealer* will only sell it as a green bean.* Caffeine's a drug ... So I guess suppliers and dealers are apt terms
Same here. And unless space is an absolute premium I also take it away with me.
If you take your coffee with sugar then give Jaggery Goor (http://www.bbc.co.uk/food/jaggery) a try
.
Boiled coffee a la Mors done. Stronger than if you add the coffee after boiling the water, but apart from that about the same taste.
Took the opportunity to try my first kuksa as a coffee cup; all good!
Jamaican Blue Mountain, bought as a green unroasted bean and skillet roasted and ground on site for me

Then percolated slowly

I ve just brought some nice green beans, and like mine on the fire with a perculator
I usually use a lexan french press from GSI. I french press at home too, and decide whether to use store bought grounds, or grind from fresh myself on occasion.
Then again, I have several mocca-thingies that get occasional use.
I recommend grinding your own if you want top class coffee. And don't skimp on the beans. Most days though, "top class" is less important than "right now" in my experience.
Tried the "brewers cup" out the other day. That was really nice. Could become my coffee of choice for shorter 1-day trips.

I'm partial to a good cup of Boggle Hole by the Baytown Coffee company , local to me.

Oh hell yeah. That's my work brew. Non of the lads like it so know it's safe.
Also like Taylor's After Dark.
I like to try different coffees but ethiopian yirgacheffe is one of my favourites. Generally I use an aeropress or an esbit coffee maker.
The way to go to find your favourite coffees is of course to try a lot. In my case what I like varies. When I'm buying wine, I try to get something I haven't tasted before. Sometimes it's not so good, but overall it's a great method - recommended.
I met a bloke on the train some years ago and we got chatting about wine (it was around the time I was doing the Wine and Spirits Board course and exam). His method for choosing wine was how deep the dimple was in the bottom of the bottle. His train of thought was that in all the posh restaurants, the wine waiter always stuck his thumb in the bottom of the bottle so he could pour with one hand. He said it had never failed him, go figure!
