Carte Noire Classic 100g

Price: £2
Vendor: One Stop
Description: 100g classic roast instant Coffee
Straight from the bargain shelf at One Stop we have Cart Noire Classic weighing in at a pocket friendly £2 reduced from £3. And its not such a bad slurp after all. It's rich, full bodied and has no bitter aftertaste. Definitely a step up from the more expensive Nescafe Original in every respect.
I shall be getting a few more of these tasty jars before the offer closes!

Douwe Egbert's Smooth Caramel 50g

Fantastic Coffee Fiasco!


Price: £2.00 but varies
Vendor: Asda
Description: Coffee with Caramel flavouring
Size: 50g

Eeeuk! Is the first word opener to this (thankfully short) review. 
Initially this item was purchased with curiosity having previously trying the Hazelnut variety and finding it OK.
It seems after having the first few swigs from the mug my stomach turned. It was just too sickly. Way too sickly for my liking and bad enough for me to abandon the remainder of my brew! That never, ever happens with me when it comes to Coffee. Something must be very wrong. And it is!

Sainsburys Basics Instant Coffee 60g

Outstanding Coffee for under £1!


A POKE IN THE EYE FOR NESCAFE ORIGINAL!






Price: 60p per 100g refil pack
Vendor: Sainsbury supermarkets

Where do we start with this little unsung Gem? its very cheap, its very nice to drink and you would probably walk straight past this in the Tea and Coffee aisle, turning your nose up as you do so.
You would be forgiven for walking by this product due to the 'Basics' style two colour plain packaging and its very low price.
You might think its too cheap compared to the next thrifty instant on the shelves and you would be wrong,  very wrong!

Adding one spoonful to a Mug is plenty for a medium strength brew. The initial taste is nutty finishing with a slight citrus note. There also appears to be absolutely NO bitter after taste or over burnt roast flavour you often get with cheapo Coffees. This seems remarkable at the 60p price mark!

Comparison?

Having used this Coffee regularly for over a week it seems painfully obvious that this is far more palettable than even Nescafe Original (a premium instant) costing 3 times the price of Sainsbury s  in its 100g form. This is astonishing! Nescafe pails in comparison and has a noticeable burnt after taste

Buy some now!
