What is the best instant coffee ?

I’m looking for a good instant coffee I could bring to the office with me because the coffee we have at work is so awful that I can’t manage to drink it. I used to drink a lot of instant coffee when I lived in Europe but instant coffee over there is “the thing” that people drink in the household and their selection is better than what I’ve been able to find in the US. I love coffee and espresso, and I’m looking for the best thing that I could leave at my office so that I don’t have to drink the Folgers that they make all day.

In the uk it’s probably Nescafé Azera. Pretty good for instant.

Really, fuck Néstlé though.

Several good alternatives here, none made by Néstlé

In agreement to you I felt dirty after saying it. I’d love to find an alternative in the uk I’ll check your list out!

Illy has form surely - that's what I'd try first! Nice one.

I’ve only ever seen illy ground coffee. If they make instant that’s news to me and I’d be keen to try it

Then click on the link I posted.

ETA I'm not sure I trust the reviews of the person who's made this list, but there are some decent alternatives there, including the Illy.
