Kenco Millicano
 

Makes perfect sense.

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. :)

Its all the same ***te so why pay over the odds



Morrison dark roast , quarter the price

why buy a subaru? you can get a ford Ka, quarter of the price,,,,,,,,,

You don't know what you're missing, dpb. Go and buy a tube of Millicano from Tesco or Co-Op, try it, then come back and talk to me. :cool: :D

Btw, thanks for sharing your preference tbh. I'll give it a try, and if comes out to be $h1t in taste, I'll post it to you. :thumb: :D

I find Nescafe Azera to be quite a reasonable 'instant' coffee. That being said we've got a Nespresso machine which is comparable if not quicker than making a cup of instant and tastes far better.

EXACTLY!!! :luxhello:

You tell him, Tidgy! :D

I do know what I'm missing , iv bought that stuff before , and realised its a total rip off !

Is it me or when Milicano fist came out it was really fine granuals, and now its the same size as all other instants.

Was that not part of its selling point....

I may be imagining it all :Suspiciou

Hello, Neil! Good to see you post. :)

We don't have coffee machine as all it will do is gather dust in our kitchen. Not big coffee drinkers here tbh. I've had Azera before, but the wake up kick Millicano renders seems to be more intense to me, for some reason. I say 'render', because it's more like a kick in cool slow motion; rather then a hard hit to knock you out, only to wake you up. Coffee paradox. :cool: :D

Don't remember, but I'm glad if it's just granules now, rather than fine powder. Powder instant coffees put me off. Funny how textures can affect your taste.

Its all just tiny wood particles painted with coffee coloured brown food dye , and a bit of flavouring



hth

Yes that did help thanks :thumb:

That's quite a thought provoking eye opener, actually. :wonder:

Imagine how long it must take someone to paint each tiny wood particle, in order to fill a tube of Millicano :( Well, unless..... :idea:.....it's being done by the ultra-fast robots. :cool: :luxhello:


:lol1:

Prefer the Nescafe Azera to the Kenco stuff. But then just got myself a Nespresso machine and is far better than any instant and if you want that "kick", any of the pods in the Intenso range should do the trick!!

I've got a tassimo machine at home, a cafetiere at work and just bought an aeropress to try

Kenco columbian from the tassimo, black, 2 sugars :D

I understand cocaine is quite effective.

Two sugars?? :eek:

Your teeth are gonna drop out by the time you're 40, Ali! :D



Yes, I understand your understanding of cocaine being quite effective. You've talked about it in past. :D

So, now, are you totally resistant to coffee, then? :confused:

Gadget, gadget, gadget.

Men just like gadget, end of. ;) :D

Almost every man with or without family has a coffee machine. :D

PG Tips :thumb:

I've tried main-lining Death Wish coffee, but all it did was make me twitch a bit. No, my recommendation, if one is insisting on a potent stimulant, is to bang a couple of fat lines of good old Colombian marching powder up one's hooter. :thumb:

Sorry, but that's a tea.

But maybe the coffee bags like tea bags are also PG Tips invention? I had that sort of coffee in coffee bags in some conferences. Not as good as Millicano, but it tasted alright, actually. Kept me awake during boring presentations. Perhaps they're produced by Kenco for being not too bad. Coffee bags (dippable in a cardboard cup or a China mug full of hot water), I mean.

I had a tiny tin from Starbucks once that was bloody nice!

This is my current pot

:lol1:

Ok, so coffee is not so effective for you, then. Ok.

Personally, I won't try your recommendation but I 'wow' (as to say 'WOW!!!!) your cloud 10 experience. ;) :D

I hear that sniffing Coke can bend your nose and things. Is it true? :confused:

What? You have a human name for your coffee pot gadget i.e. James? :lol1:

It is nice and shiny. Well done, very nice. :D

I found snorting coke was nowhere near as bad as snorting crushed up ecstasy. Doing that was like inhaling detergent! Nearly ruined my singing voice, too, though years of abstinence means I can still just about hold a tune. :o

Oh, ok! Gizz a song, then! Go on! I'd like to hear it. :) I'd give one out but it'll sound as if you're dragging a supermarket £1 trolley with ungreased roller feet on a hospital floor. :(

If I don't have time to fire up the Gaggia, then it's a heaped spoonful of this :D

Hm, that looks intriguing! Where do you get that from, then? :confused:

Most supermarkets sell it. Morrisons, Sainsburys, Waitrose; wherever is nearest :)

I tend to find the fine powdered 'espresso' instants better than the freeze dried granules.
