Trying instant coffee from eight different supermarkets reveals surprising results. The goal was to find a budget-friendly alternative to regular coffee without sacrificing flavor. Each coffee was evaluated based on aroma, taste, and overall satisfaction. The taste test included popular supermarket brands and well-known names, aiming for a fair comparison by using similar preparation methods.
• Asda's Just Essential Instant Coffee scored poorly, lacking aroma and flavor, rated at 4.5/10.
• Morrisons’ Savers Instant Coffee was bland and chemically-smelling, earning just 3/10.
• Tesco's coffee had a bitter taste and minimal aroma, receiving a 4/10 rating.
• Lidl's Bellarom Rich Roast was mild and lacking in flavor, rated at 4.5/10.
Finding a good instant coffee is important for those looking to save money without compromising on taste. The results show that some supermarket brands fall short, while others, like Sainsbury's, offer surprisingly good options. This comparison helps consumers make informed choices when shopping for affordable coffee.
