You don't need to be an 'investor' to invest in Singletrack: 6 days left: 95% of target - Find out more
Yeah, "good soluble coffee" sound like self contradiction...
But is there anything out there that is more drinkable than standard Nescafe? This is the only thing the company provides (coffee-wisely). And I can't stand the cr*p anymore... 😕
I "treated" myself to their Azera range (it was half price). It said "barista style coffee" on the tin... I think it was even worse than the classic one!
Please help!
I think the best is carte noir .
If its for work, I keep one of these in my desk drawer.

Now I can have proper coffee. Makes the office smell lovely too.
The Nescafe Azera is actually really good. Apparently we are the only country in the world that drinks instant coffee....
I've had Douwe Egberts stuff that was quite nice - can't remember which one.
the "whole bean instant" coffees are quite good. Millicano is one, and I know Carte Noir do one too
Nescafe Azera is the one I have at the moment but it is definitely not real coffee..
+1 for Aeropress - relatively faff-free and easy disposal of grounds.

I dream of Nescafe.! When I started my new job I was told the company provide the tea and coffee. They do indeed but the coffee is Morrisons savers...

Christ on a bike its like drinking gravy. 😥
I have some Milicano stashed away, it's no where near as good as a proper coffee but compared to the savers shite it's a lot better. At least it tastes like coffee.
Percol Americano and Italiano aren't too bad.
Sorry to hear that [b]Neilsonwheels[/b], that must be a real horror!!! 😯
I'll give the suggested options a try, thanks!
And the Aeropress seems like a good idea for a letter to Santa... 🙄
Surely if you have access to the hot water needed to make an instant coffee:

Carte Noir Espresso
carte noir instinct is what I use when Im in a hurry/lazy.
Ive tried Azera and millibean and theyre both awful by comparison.
I have an espresso at home, morning and night (just bought a triple shot filter basket from Happy Donkey - guarantees a good night's sleep!) and just drink tapwater through the day.
It takes a bit of getting used to (the water, that is) but many benefits. I used to find that plain water didn't quench my thirst on a hot day, but it does now my body's tuned into it.
[b]BigJohn[/b] if I had to drink just water here I would be sleeping at my desk... 😉
Small cafetiere for me. Grind before before I go to work (ffnnar!) and it makes a large cup each time. Minimal fuss.
The Nescafe Pretentious Range is mostly pretty good, I like the alta rica (chocolatey) and cap columbie (coffee-ey). Better than the majority of "proper" coffees I've ever had. The espresso is terrible though, looks like espresso, smells like espresso, tastes like mdf.
This might mark me out as Not A Real Singletrackist but the Tesco Finest instants that I've tried have all been good.
Nobody else find Milicano dusty/gritty? I ended up filtering it which kind of defeats the purpose
I quite like the hybrid "instant coffee with some real coffee dust thrown at it" stuff that's about at the moment; Millicano et al, I usually buy whichever's on offer that week. (You can guarantee that between the cans and the refills, one of them will be.)
The Starbucks Via stuff isn't bad either.

It's excellent but silly expensive.
Douwe Egbert's Pure Indulgence is my easy coffee choice, just make it strong.
Apparently we are the only country in the world that drinks instant coffee....
We are by no means alone, rather amusingly, to me anyway, the nation where instant coffee is the most bought coffee is also the country that has the most annoying coffee bores...Australia

Milicano but leave the dust in the bottom of the mug, interspersed with Nescafé Dolce Gusto in many varied guises. What about the Douwe Egberts filter pots that you stand on top of your mug and pour the boiling water in and it percolates through? Can't remember the name of the actual Devices.
Milicano for me as well.
