Morning all.. drinking gold blend crap this morning!
Must of tried a dozen different coffees this year and not a fan of any!
Any coffee lovers give me a nudge towards a decent wake up drink. |

Stove top and ground coffee if you have time. Aeropress or a caffitier if your slightly less energetic 
Aeropress has a very smooth less bitter taste than ground normally xx |

I'm a green tea drinker through the day but need a coffee kick start first thing.. always poured the hot water onto instant then added milk.
Keep meaning to invest in a machine! Days like this I need one |

"Nescafé Azera intenso is pretty good
If you're going for an instant, this had to be one of the best 
Yes I agree with this, this is my office backup!"
Looks like I'll be trying this on Monday morning! Thanks guys (and gals) |

Ah, that's where you're going wrong. Milk first or you scorch the granules  "
That's what I thought too?
I don't like coffee tho. Strictly tea only for me! |

A cafetiere is less than a tenner and pretty much every ground coffee in the supermarkets are decent.
If you want to stick with instant, the new ranges of " whole bean" instants are great. There are new ones by illy, percol, carte noire, millicano... And more. Enjoy! |

Don't drink instant is my advice or if you really have to drink one of those blends of instant and ground like millicano.
Buy a cheap grinder aldi have them at the moment, a cafetiere and a bag of beans also have beans too a large bag for four quid and you will never look back  . |

And also let the water go off the boil for two minutes |

Not had instant in years. The right ground is much better. The longer it's brewed, the greater the release of the bitter compounds - unless you like that aspect of it. The earlier released flavour elements are sweeter and have fruit tones. |

I agree, I never let mine brew for more than four minutes. |
