See, like Jonc, Tidgy, Jack et al, it's gadgets for men, again. ::D Erythritol sounds like antibiotics. Glad to know it's a sweetener. Hope it's not Aspartame based? Nah plant based, like xylitol it's a sugar alcohol only 90% gets absorbed before it hits the colon so no gi issues, and very low in calories, as the body doesn't have the enzyme to break it down so gets harmlessly passed through. As sweeteners go it's the safest, i had to switch as sucralose was giving me migraines. Plus tastes just like the real thing. Only downside is it's 70% as sweet, so chuck in an extra spoon cheapest place is amazon about £12 for 2.5kg http://authoritynutrition.com/erythritol/ |

No, you numpties! Find better God! https://th76.photobucket.com/albums/...5/th_shrug.gif Although I know the answer to that, that James will take a toffee for a coffee. And the debate generating capacity of that toffee will surely extend this coffee thread to at least 20 pages, easy! ;) Then I will need a sting mug of Millicano to............... :lol1: |

These are good for a quick coffee and keep it hot for ages. I can't stand most instant coffee, not a massive fan of pod machines (some are okayish, but the Dolce Gusto I had was complete rubbish) and it's way quicker than my espresso machine.

:idea: Is it George Clooney who advertises Dolce Gusto? If yes, I can see the pluralistic ignorant appeal because so many peeps have that machine and pods thingies. I'm not going to go out and buy one, though. I don't fall for such gimmicks. |

More so when you've woken up quite late on a dark and rainy day, because you can afford to wake up late. Then you have a mug of Millicano Instant to hit your head and get you out of your half asleep mode. I have to say it's the best instant coffee so far, for me. What's your preferred instant coffee? Is it as good of an eye opener as Milicano, or even better? Please enlighten. :) https://content3.groceries.morrisons...703001f3b4f936 <a href="https://groceries.morrisons.com/webshop/product/Kenco-Millicano-Wholebean-Instant-Tin/113760011?from=search&tags=%7C105651¶m=millica no+coffee&parentContainer=SEARCHmillicano+coffe_SH ELFVIEW" class="openQuickView">https://content1.groceries.morrisons...476435153ceae6 https://content3.groceries.morrisons...a54f3ea423cbee |

I think we have the middle one. :wonder: Actually, I'm pretty sure it is. I've tried the dark roast one, but didn't really like it that much. A tad bitter for me, personally. Not as smooth. Which one do you drink? :) |

Nespresso kazaa lungo (I know it should be on the smaller intenso setting...I just like it like that!) half a sugar, black, hits the spot everytime :notworthy
We have a massive Millicano instant at work that we all dip into, but if/when I drink freeze dried coffee I prefer Kenco Peruvian....its sort of smokey and strong...just what I need after a bad night with the little one screaming :freak3::lol1: 2xheaped teaspoons and 2 sugars nom nom nom...have about 4 a day :D |

I'm not a coffee addict tbh. I like my tea more. But sometimes when I do drink coffee, it has to be that Millicano; the middle one. For example, it kickstarted me this morning. My head was battered due to my laptop and printer ignoring each other at work, and my right ear was thumping as if it had developed its own heart overnight. I know about the ear that it's just a local ear pathology with some fluid/mucous congestion in my Eustachian tube, due to my usual allergies and $h1t like that, but the coffee kick did make me forget about it. Anyway, let us know what you think, after trying it. :) |

Oh, ok! They sell a herbal sweetener called Stevia aka ka'a he'ê (originally) in Tesco and Aldi. Aldi one is much cheaper i.e. 49p for 100 tabs. I bought it, but I'm not sure about the taste. It has weird taste to it.
Splenda for me was the closest, but even then many claim it has a chemical taste to it. Erythritol for me is the closest i can get to the real thing. You know truvia that stuff they tout as stevia, well it's 1% stevia and 99% Erythritol i kid you not. So if you don't fancy buying online yet you can always grab a pot. |

Yeah it does i won't go near the stuff, has a very bitter aftertaste once i throw in enough for my needs.

I currently have Aldi's non-Aspartame sweetener called Sucralose. Again, 49p for 100 tabs. Sorts me out tbh. One tab a tea mug. I do take one sugar in my coffee, though. That's because coffee is more bitter than the tea. |
