Re: What's A Decent Instant Coffee?
I only started drinking coffee because the water where I live is terrible and you'd really notice it with tea. Now I only drink tea in my dad's house or at home if I'm feeling sick and only "tea and toast" will do.
Nescafe espresso is quite nice but quite expensive and I am poor and just want something coffee flavoured so just drink whatever I pick up in Aldi or Lidl. Nescafe have a big jar called "crema gold" but I'll only buy that on special offer because you don't get much change out of ten euro otherwise
Coffee bores are up there with chocolate bores "anything less than 98% cocoa solids is a waste of time"

I work in the drinks industry, and if you think that wine or whisky geeks are bad, they have NOTHING on coffee geeks.

Tends to be a hipster thing as well. Triple roasted sun smoked Guatemalan-Ecuadorian blend. And that's just the beards.

If it doesnt sound like your coughing up the last of your TB ridden lungs when ordering, then they just dont want to serve you.
"Two large coffees , please, milk and 2 sugars."
"Fuck off, pleb."

Re: What's A Decent Instant Coffee?
I drop my standards at work as there's usually a right pile of piss on offer unless I bring my own.
Worst job ever was a woman who used Camp and I told her don't give me that shit when I start the job. I like strong dark roast. What did she buy? Fucking Mellow Birds and her idea of strong was one level teaspoon.
Aldi do a very good cheap one for under 2 quid which punches well over its weight for a two quid jar.
Nescafe of old has gone down the pan. Gold Blend is expensive and decent but at home it's various dark roast hi caffeine ground versions.

My mum used to drink Camp Coffee. I have to admit to quite liking it. In fact I'm nostalgic for it just thinking about it.m4rkb wrote:I drop my standards at work as there's usually a right pile of piss on offer unless I bring my own.

It must be at least 30 years since I had some.
I'm not entirely sure that there was any actual coffee in it though.

Yep, but it was for my Dad and he was a Sahhhf Lahndahnaah.m4rkb wrote:Didn't you used to have a large pot of stewed tea in your gaff Baz like every other Irish family I've known?
My mum drank both but liked coffee better. I think Camp Coffee was the only one you could get after the war and other coffees were expensive well into the 70s, so she made do with Camp.
I got a taste for Camp too....the "coffee" not the demeanour....Oh, I don't know though, Duckie.

Re: What's A Decent Instant Coffee?
D'ya know. I'm actually tempted to find some camp and palm it off on a few people to see the reaction. Plus remind myself of how bad it is.
Some of the fuckers I work with would drink any old muck.
Edit: Nah fuck it. On second thoughts I can't be bothered spending a penny on that bunch. They can stick with Happy Shopper own brand.

Re: What's A Decent Instant Coffee?
I'm sure it had a "colonial image" on the bottle, which older people found reassuring. It's one of those products, like Trex or those squeezy Jif lemons, whose days must be numbered.Basualdo wrote:My mum used to drink Camp Coffee. I have to admit to quite liking it.
