Good instant coffee.

Buy it in the plastic squeezy tubes - much easier

I never knew they existed, I'll have a look next time we're in

Have you tried using condensed milk? Combines the two...

At least the "sweetened" condensed milk does. The regular condensed milk doesn't though.

I wish we could get those over here too.

I've just bought a couple of packs of Coughlans squeeze tubes to decant my own, REI should have them

I use Rombouts Ethiopian Moka Sidamo Ground Coffee and a smart cafe mug as recommended by Kepis in another thread. I dont see the need to use an instant if you have a compact cafetiere system

Thanks. I'll have a look.

I raided my local tescos for the starbucks sachets, the tin is tempting going by the sachet taste its better than both kenco 3-1 and nescafe.
Will try them with the milkstix to complete the trusty brew kit.

Saw on hotukdeals an offer for Starbucks, 2x227g for £5 but aparently the best bit is each pack also has a voucher for a free latte so if you like visiting Starbucks you could technically say the coffee is free and only buying the latte in advance ;-)

That aside I found the Tesco budget ground coffee surprisingly good, normally grind my own though.

I have tried regular coffee this way rather like it. Though instant coffee I'll drink it if I have to rather wait the few minutes to brew fresh real coffee

Instant coffee is fine - if you run short of the real thing!
Rat Pack coffee is an OK drink ... just do not think of it as coffee and you are fine

A good view to hold Mr Fenna, same as instant white tea...don't think of it as tea and you have an OK drink.

We've had 'Tactical' tagged on to all sorts of kit, now its seems 'Barista' is supposed to have worth when it comes to making a brew (barista means something like 'barman' IIRC) lol.

I've found a new coffee which is ticking all the boxes, a bit pricey but about the best instant I've tried yet ...

I think I paid about £3.80 in Morrisons

For what kind of weight dude?

Hmmm... I may have to go find the Morrisons that's most local to me and get some.

I tried Millicano and thought what the hell was the hype about it more a case of so I told the wife she can have it whilst my search carries on.

Edit... Oh. apparently it's on special offer, £3.00 for 100grm at Sainsburys until the 12/11 and £2.59 at Waitrose until December

I really like Lyons coffee bags, individually packed tea bag type things filled with ground coffee

 

[cave_dweller]

Apparently coffee is more expensive there than I remembered. I pay (for better grade coffees) about $4 per pound of grounds.

It's not really that much different. I pay £8 for a kilo of beans (the same for ground) of a decent espresso blend, which works out around $5.45 per pound. More than your price - but still much lower than 25 pence per cup. Premium coffee can go way higher than that though.

 

[santaman2000]

That sounds more like what I remembered. It was some of the prices on this thread that threw me.

I use an Esbit coffee maker with my favourite coffee, makes an amazing cup of coffee with what ever you like.
