Best instant coffee compared to kenco smooth

Hi

Coffee prices have really shot up

Mrs normally drinks kenco smooth just wondering if anyone has found another coffee which tastes better or just as good but better value?

Thanks

    If you have Costco membership then try Rappor Instant Coffee. I think it’s cheaper in-store.

    52695103-UfuvB.jpgHave you tried Clipper Coffee (various strains). It is about £4 in Sainsbury's for the Clipper Latin American version. Often comes on sale or appears on Amazon. I don't drink Kenco / Nescafe so couldn't tell you how it compares, sorry. (edited)

    I think half the purpose of the thread was to save money

    Saying that though. Now I have to try your suggestion

    Nescafé gold blend is a nice instant coffee IMO.

    Been buying Sainsbury's 'taste the difference' Colombian or Costa Rican instant for a while now but I'm no coffee expert and there's so much choice out there

    I will second this. Sainsbury's is the best for own brand coffee.

    I've just grabbed a discounted refill bag from Sainsbury's, that's as cheap as I've seen it recently. I do buy Rich instead of Smooth, but the offers usually cover both.

    Unfortunately I've not found anything comparable apart from McDonalds coffee (yes I know there are haters out there but I prefer McDonalds over most other takeout coffees).

    I prefer real beans, but I do have 1 mug of instant every day - Tesco Gold.

    Can you compare this to kenco or nescafe?

    Let me know when you find out an alternative. We are in the same position.

    Have you considered bean to cup? I wouldn't go back to instant as none taste anywhere as nice etc.

    Aldi makes very decent Colombian instant. Thing is the price isn't as cheap as it should be 👎🏻
