Have been musing about coffee this morning, not the good stuff but instant coffee, but a really enjoyable one.I’m going to buy something later on today and am always hoping to find a better one than the last one I bought.
The coffee in the rest room at work is always poor quality so I will start taking my own in with me.
It needs to be one with caffeine.What can you recommend?

You can Google on YouTube & ask best instant coffees. It will give you the worst six & at least three of the best coffees.
I did one on water. Highland spring came out the best. Some of the worst was smart water, Perrier, (Voss which I buy) Nestle pure. Inferior filtration.

Well you can but I prefer the old fashioned personal recommendation 😃 brew

Kenco Smooth is very nice. It's also responsibly sourced.

Yes, i didn't believe it myself until i tried it.
I used a tiny whisk thing, so it took a while, but it turned into a sort of caramel gloop. smile

Small things please small minds, so it's said, but it took me back to my bunking off school days.

I get Ringtons tea from the man in the van and it is the best tea by a country mile. We aren't big coffee drinkers but have one occasionally and their instant coffee is equally good. Visitors also comment on how nice it is too.

I do not like coffee but DH, who is a bit fussy has switched to Aldi's own Alcafe, which he says he can tell the difference but likes it. (It also appeals to his meannest because it is half the price of the named brands and far less than the other cheaper supermarket brands

With you there. Have you tried their apple pie biscuits? Yum
