I use Alta Rica, it's the only instant coffee that I like.

I do have a jar of instant coffee, but I do not use it that often, it is Sainsburys dark roast. i normally buy coffee beans and from James gourmet.

Can anyone recommend a decent decaf coffee?
I'm drinking Kenco decaf at the moment, but not really enjoying it. |

Of course you're not. The whole point of drinking it has been removed.
It's not through choice I have to cut out caffeine. |

I'm currently in between coffees at the moment. Nescafe Azera is one I drink on and off, as well as Nescafe Original. Gold Blend is currently my coffee of choice.

I've heard that the Nescafe Alta Rica Decaf is quite nice.

I always used to buy Gold Blend but have switched to Azera as it tastes more 'real'. I buy it in bulk so I can get it at a reasonable price.
Unfortunately I haven't room in my kitchen for a proper coffee machine, not even a cafetiere! |

As a middle class North Londoner I can't say that I've ever tasted instant coffee. Normally a friend of ours who has a cottage in Columbia drops us some mountain grown organic beans that he roasts himself when he comes back home. If really desperate though we tend to buy from Budgens or Waitrose.

For the rare occasions I drink instant only Nescafé Cap Colombie will do and I always keep some in an airtight glass container, whatever's left gets thrown away and replaced every couple of years. Otherwise it's ground coffee via cafetiere but with an infuser, and at the moment I'm hooked on Taylors Lazy Sunday.

Usually the Kenco Milllicano one that comes in the black tin - can't remember the exact variety, but for an instant it is quite strong tasting, although still tastes like instant, rather than "proper" coffee.

I like my coffee so strong, a spoon would stand up in it, and drink way too much of it. I was becoming really hyper, suffering from anxiety, and depression. A friend pointed out that caffeine is, essentially, a drug. I had never considered my coffee addiction, could be the problem. I used to drink Carte Noir Espresso, but have decided that, as coffee is my only must have, and I cannot stop drinking it, I will drink decaffeinated. Carte Noir is stronger than other decaffs. I am on Kenco atm, as it was on offer. I like it.

My 'everyday' coffee is Taylor's Hot Lava Java; it makes a good strong brew.

Strength of 6 if I remember rightly, it is pretty good coffee, the problem is that like a lot of supermarket coffee it could have been roasted and ground months ago.

Just put your tea pot in the cupboard and you'll have more than enough room. How do you cope if you have a guest round? A cafetiere barely takes up more room than a second mug.
