Best supermarket instant coffee?

Thanks for the Robert Timms bags idea. I got some decaf ones on Sat (pregnant hence the decaf) and just loved them- they taste like Gloria Jeans coffee which I like. DH was jealous ( a bit..) but wouldn't have decaf so I got him a box for himself today- Italian Expresso style. Strangely (well not really) a box of 18 bags was $7.50 and a box of 28 was $8.30. Sadly the decaf doesn't come in 28s but thanks for whoever mentioned them!

For instant coffee we use Robert Timms Premium (in the silver jar). It has a lovely creamy texture to it. It's about $14.00 for a 400gm jar. So yummy. It gives a lovely hazelnut colour froth on top.

For our coffee machine, we use Vittoria (gold bag) beans. I use Gloria Jeans caramel flavouring. I love our coffee machine. It makes a latte or cuppacino in the press of a button and the cleaning is sooooooo easy. I just descale it once a month. It rinses and cleans itself when you turn it off.

Unfortunately our budget disctates our coffee (we just finished a tin of *spew* International Roast powder crap :ms.

Tan, try less boiling water and more milk?

I buy the Nescafe Greenblend Coffee.....I love it. I am not a big coffee drinker but do like to enjoy it when I do want it. I use to get the Nescafe Gold Medium Roast but saw the Greenblend on Special one week and got it and haven't bought anything else!!

I do prefer my perculator/dripilator(sp?) coffee and normal have a pot on in the morning with enough for one-two cups for me for the day!! I have been loving the Gloria Jeans Caramel one from Wollies but think I might need a change soon!!

Tan I just add a small dash of cream... not much at all... about a teaspoon I guess.... don't add too much otherwise you end up with a yellow oil film on top. I find that the sweetness of the cream is nicer than sugar and my theory is because it doesn't have sugar my mood swings are reduced.

Like the sound of Robert Timms Premium TD!

Just wanted to let you know I've perfected home made iced coffee, rivals any cafe style trust me!
(but if you're not a nestle fan don't read on)

Found a product called Nescafe Short Black, its completely powdered, not granules. Its designed for making short blacks at home, you're supposed to make it in an expresso cup. But here's what i do:

4 teaspoons NSB in a large glass (I like it strong)
+ 2 Tablespoons boiling water
2 teaspoons of sugar (up to you how much)
Mix (no need to leave to brew)
Then add about 250 milk, stir vigorously.
Should actually be cold since you're hardly using any hot water, but if you want it more icey add an ice cube or 2. I usually add one, stir again and chuck it in the sink. (the ice cube)

Drink. Delicious!
