Taster's Choice. It is even available vanilla flavoured (but unsweetened). I think the instant vanilla coffee is quite an acceptable coffee alternative (and distracts from comparing it to real coffee).

Surprisingly I like both Tim Hortons (weak coffee) and Starbucks (strong). I only use 18% cream in my coffee. I find 10% (half/half) has a really yucky cheesy/fatty taste and smell.
Elite makes a lot of differnet kinds. The regular is awful, but the platinum is quite good, imho. |
Have just started using Nescafe Partners' Blend Fair Trade instant coffee - VERY nice!
|
Not a huge fan of instants, I tend to only use them when I'm somewhere remote, and even then only until I can fashion a filter from an old dishcloth :)
However, some of the Fairtrade ones aren't too bad: the UK Co-op organic one was reasonably palatable, and the Traidcraft one is decent. I don't touch any Nestlé products. |
Nestle imports an instant Nescafe' from Mexico. It's in a globe shaped jar. It is fairly easy to buy in Texas. It is much better than the American market Nescafe' in the square jars. And costs less.
Nescafe' Dark Roast in Australia was good and was in nearly every hotel room I stayed in. Instant powdered coffee in a little tube shaped packet. |

Well, I guess I should have said, "widely available in the U.S." I'd love to try it, but south and central Florida are a little far from the San Francisco city center. ;)

mr. haniboo also likes the nestle cap colombe.
interesting how nestle make so many different varieites. |
Those Japanase brand ones are my favorite. ^

For decaf, its Taster's Choice.
Regular - its Folger's crystal |
I can't drink instant coffee. Not after tasting some of the best coffees the world has to offer.

Nescafe Noir. Originally sold only in France, but Nestle has started to market it in various countries around the world (such as NZ); but not yet in the US. Maybe never, it is too strong for the US palate -- surprisingly good for an instant.

Is Nescafe Noir the same as Nescafe Black Gold (UK)? We're currently drinking this for everyday slurps at home and we quite like it.

I tell you what.. I just tried the Starbucks "Via" instant coffee sample I received a few days ago. And it's not bad. Tastes more like real coffee than instant, although not as strong as I would like. But for an instant coffee it is quite good.
