What is the best instant coffee currently available in the Irish market?

A mexican fellow put me onto the Tesco own brand. It's good. I'm lashing it back with smokes before I give them up for newyear.

Hate instant coffe. It's so watery and just seems pointless. Might as well have a tea.

Carte Noir.

Nescafe Original does the job though.

Yep, I went there.

If this only helps one person it'll be worth it.

Google "Aeropress".

Instant coffee is instant after a kettles boiled and tastes like poo.

Filter and French press make good coffe but are a little messy and take about 5 minutes.

Aeropress takes only 1minute and 30 seconds after kettle boiled.

10seconds to clean.

A great cup of fresh coffee very little hassle.

Irel coffee is where it's at.

No idea, I've never had either tea or coffee.

Whichever one the petrol-station I'm pulling into happens to be selling. Generally.

Kenco Millicano.

Nourish do some which have been made without the Alzheimer's causing chemicals.

But if you don't mind them, the Millicano is fine with some frothed milk.

Which coffee has the alzheimers causing chemicals or are they in all coffee's?

I have never had a caffeine dependency (I only occasionally drink Coke or other soft drinks, one a week maybe), so I don't need it to function, so doesn't bother me.

Instant coffee is an abomination!

You cannot beat a freshly roasted & ground cup of Joe, black & thick as bitumen.

Agreed.

Fair play. I'd say you're a riot at a party. You're not a member of a residents association by any chance?

They taste nice and having a nice tasting warm beverage in a temperate climate is comforting.

Another vote for Millicano!

And by the way, I am a serious coffee-head: usually make it fresh from grounds and fussy about flavours.

(Favourite pre-pack of "real" coffee - Starbuck's house blend)

Favourite instant - Millicano.
And granted, Azera is quite similar.

I hate coffee. The smell makes me want to puke. If you want to taste tea why not just have tea?

Same can be said for water, juices and smoothies.

I suppose you have a problem with people who don't drink also?

I tried that "Millicano" stuff, and it looked to me like instant coffee with the addition of a little finely-ground bean coffee. Not worth anything close to what they're charging it. So I did my own: get a 100g jar of reasonable instant e.g. Lidl Columbian, dump it in to a larger jar with 5 or so heaped teaspoons of ground coffee & shake to mix. That was two years ago, and I'm still doing it - "barista-style" (?) coffee on a budget.

Nescafe gold blend for me and the nice guests
Tesco Gold in a Mellicano tin for the annoying guests.

The only instant coffee I would drink is Nescafé Azera. It's really quite nice!

I have a nespresso machine though so I know that makes me a coffee heathen.

"Percol - Black & Beyond Espresso" was my favorite
Tesco used to stock it but I haven't seen it in there for years now

I like the Nescafé Azera espresso now

No it can't. I like water, juices and smoothies are only grand when getting fresh fruit is a hassle but they are not comparable to coffee.

Anyway Carte Noir as far as instant coffees go. I think Kenco is devil's creation and Nescafe isn't much better.

Cee-Jay-Cee

Azera for the evening coffee while watching tv. Aldis Colombian coffee for the other 4 coffees I drink during the day at home.

Kenco red label stuff at work.

Melisandre121

Kenco Millicano Sunlight blend beats them all. So velvety and delicious.

Carte Noir in second place.

Third place goes to Kenco (red jar).

The worst coffee of all time is Maxwell House, how could anyone drink it??

meeeeh

Oh Maxwell house really is vile.
