Anyone recommend instant coffee that is like ground?

Yes love it use all the time

I'd stick with Nespresso or filter - out of 40 guests not many will want coffee in my experience. I've been served Azero and it tastes the same as any other instant.

At one time most guests would have coffee but now the majority say that they can't have coffee after 14.00 or they'll be awake all night.

Habits change!

I find the Kenco millicano instant (and other "barista" style instant coffees) taste better than some cheap filter coffees and nearly always use them. I've never had Nespresso so can't compare. Everyone has different tastes in coffee anyway. Not everyone will want coffee, some may want tea or soft drink.

Nescafé Alta Rica is IMO far and away better than most instants. I've known people who are very sniffy about instant to grudgingly say that it's pretty good.
Personally I prefer it to Azero.

Me too witzend. I like a strong flavor. It's the only instant I like.

I agree Alta Rica is lovely and rich - Azeero tastes powdery and strange.

Alta Rica is what I use even when looking for an espresso for baking with.

Nescafé Cap Columbie or Alta Rica if you want something a bit stronger.

I find that Kenco Rich tastes almost if not better than ground coffee. Keep a new jar unopened until the event and when you open it there will be the lovely aroma of rich coffee.

Great thanks or the suggestions I'll give a couple a try.

I am a bit of a coffee snob and don't normally drink instant, but Alta Rica gets my vote too.

Mine too!

No such animal.
