Best supermarket instant coffee?

[Nelle]

I took it to mean that green coffee is supposed to have antioxidents too? Dunno...I wasn't paying that much attention.

I use 1 teaspoon per cup, so I guess that's about per 250ml? If i'm feeling particularly blurry, the coffee side of the ratio increases.

Im pretty sure its green coffee beans, coz the adds got 2 beans jumping around, one brown & one green.

Generally I have 1 teaspoon coffee to a cup, Im guessing around 200-250ml water

I thought all coffee beans were brown? i must pay more attention next time too!

I'm trying to make the perfect ration for iced coffee, this morning i tried:

1 tablespoon moccona
100 ml boiling water
200 ml milk
1 teaspoon sugar
3 ice cubes
Then shake in shaker

It was a bit too strong!

Does anyone have a better recipe?

I use the Bickfords Iced Coffee Mix, add a bit to milk & ice. YUM!!!!
I might go have one now

If it was too strong, add less coffee. And maybe minus the spoon of sugar and add a scoop of ice-cream, that'd get it nice and creamy.

Through the careful combination of roasted and unroasted coffee beans, NESCAF? Greenblend has a full coffee taste and aroma delivering your body 70% more antioxidants than leading green tea brands.

From the evil nestle site. Green beans are unroasted.

Here at the farm cafe, i am a true coffee snob and have a coffee machine. I do have moccona in the pantry in case of emergency.

As for the iced coffee recipe, 1 T sounds like a lot! i'd use a heaped teaspoon.

[Matryoshka]

Is that actually real coffee though? i've bought an iced coffee mix before and its just a syrup flavoured like coffee - doesn't actually wake me up!

Yep i used to have a coffee machine, the cafe style ones, but i didn't know how to use it and it was too much effort to clean etc so i gave it to goodwill.

[Junglemum]

Oh no, i'd die without my coffee machine now. It's a long way to the shops from here though. I bet someone was stoked to get yours!

there is an iced coffee recipe on taste and it says 2 teaspoons to one cup of milk, plus the extras.

[Daydream Believer]

Im not sure if it has real coffee or not, tastes good though

I know what you mean about those Robert Timms sachets! I discovered them while staying at the Sebel (DH's work paid)... I brought home the spares! I rarely fleece hotel rooms BTW... I left the complimentary toiletries! LOL

Can't afford them either but Maconna is a close substitute.... almost any blend except for Mild Roast.

I only buy them on special though. If the standard 200g jar is reduced to under $10 each i stock up. I haven't had to pay full price for years.

I pop 1 heaped teaspoon into my large cups and a level teaspoon into our smaller ones. I don't add sugar but often add cream. Always have milk. I'm a 2 cup per day person.


ETA: forgot to add that my motehr drank Green tea Chai Latte whilst she was staying with us recently. Ugh!!!!! Green frothy slime was on everything!

[bon]

I have two teaspoons in a mug, white no sugar. I only have the one cup a day usually though - first thing when I wake up.

How much cream do you add bath?
