Favorite Brand Of Instant Coffee?

[shaadoe]

I really enjoy instant coffee. Making instant coffee into a sort of espresso with lots of milk and some sugar tastes better then brewed coffee to me. For those who drink instant coffee, do you have any favorites?

I picked up a jar of Pampas for a buck at the DG. Works for me.

I have been using the Cafe Bustelo Instant Espresso to make Peata's latte recipe. Delicious! But I like Jenn's idea, so will be checking out my local DG.

Pampa (no "s" apparently) can also be found at Walmart for the same price. I drink it 1:1 with sugar straight in my milk.

I use generic Wal Mart Arabica. It's pretty good.

I'm late to this topic, but I like Mt. Hagen organic. It is claimed to have no added ingredients, no artificial or natural flavors, no colorings, I've been using it with no problems for over a year now. Someone told me most instant coffees, at least the national brands like Folgers, etc. contain Red 40, to which I am sensitive, and they taste very nasty, too, LOL.

I am not aware of any brand of instant coffee that is colored.

But yes, I agree, Folgers is nasty.

I love instant coffee but many brands do it wrong. One brand that is bang on the money with instant coffee is Starbucks. I love their "Via" instant coffee (http://www.dailycuppacoffee.com/starbuc ... 50-packets). It is so strong and tastes so close to fresh brewed coffee...if not better (coffee snobs go away!)

Nescafe Espresso. Instant coffee … without that classic tasteless instant coffee signature. Worth the try!

Nescafe decaf

Nasty but delicious.
