I am looking for a full flavoured, reasonably strong coffee but it has to be decaffeinated and instant.
There is nowhere in the office for fancy, coffee making gadgets (apart from a kettle) hence the instant, and decaffeinated because I have an adverse reaction to caffeine.
I'm sure I'll get a visit from the Coffee Inquisition at some stage but if anyone else has had to travel down this particular trail, I wondered whether you had found anything worth buying/drinking?
Nescaffe altarica decaff (probably spelt wrong) was the best of a bad bunch IME
There's one of the current crop of 'barista-style' coffees that have a caffeine-free version. Kenco I think it might be?
Or try something like [url= http://www.ecookshop.co.uk/ecookshop/product.asp?pid=K11102565 ]cafetiere mug[/url] others are available
PSA for a bargain compact pod machine [url= http://singletrackmag.com/forum/topic/psa-cheap-lavazza-pod-machine ]here[/url]. Space for one of these? I've ordered one to take on holidays so I can still get a half decent morning espresso.
Oh and they do decaf pods [url= http://www.espares.co.uk/product/es1671095 ]here[/url].
In the same situation at work, bar the caffeine bit, I use an Aeropress (about £25 from Amazon) and normal ground coffee with good results. I have no idea if ground decaf tastes any better than instant though so it may not be worth it in your case!
My Wife is currently drinking Millicano decaf. If you use a 'normal' teaspoon full, it's pretty insipid.
But if you use a very heaped teaspoon of it, or perhaps a teaspoon & a half it strengthens the flavour up & tastes OK to my uncultured palate.
Millicano decaf +1
Oh, sorry, it's not 'decaf', it's 'caff-free' 🙄
Thanks guys, plenty to go on there.
Another vote here for an aeropress . great bit of kit
Decaf real coffee is available and tastes fine, if you fancy trying with a cafetiere mug.
Nescaffe altarica decaff
This is good*, but I can never find it when in any supermarket when I am back in the UK.
* for instant de-caff

We use illy decaf in a stove pot.
Excellent imo
