Still experimenting and have now found out that you use one sachet for 200ml of water. A cup holds about 400ml of water so have now bene using two sachets and a much better taste. LOL
We used to get a type of coffee essence in our rat packs, but you had to be fairly dumb to make a brew as it could cost you your life. Most times we ate our rations cold and no cigarettes, no soap, no toothpaste or any nice smelly stuff when out on patrol.
A number of years ago I was in the USA on business,whilst there I went into a coffee house the coffee was terrible I came the the conclusion they didn't know how to make decent coffee in the USA,now I still think the same but I think they also use inferior coffee beans,the coffee is still terrible now.That coffee shop is now all over the UK andI don't use it.Which is the best and tastiest instant coffee i.e. Kenco, Nestle etc to buy from a supermarket where you do not need to use a coffee machine? If having coffee out at a place like Costa, Nero etc which one is the best for coffee and which is the tastiest coffee. We tried the Latte at Costa and Nero and thought the Costa Latte the better flavour.
Just asking as only recently I have found that I can drink normal coffee again without suffering indigestion and I am enjoying Lattes, but would like to experiment with others at Costa type places.
Drinking percolated coffee is what put me off coffee for quite awhile. Bitter unpleasant taste. However this was way back in the sixties. Then along came instant coffee in early seventies.I remember my uncle bring back, for my mother a Coffee Percolator from America, a fantasic thing to watch a small glass top where the coffee bubbled away . They must have had ground beans of some sort. I preffered , Ovaltine. I was 7 years old.
Hi,Years back we had one of these. A real talking piece at dinner as most people couldn't see how it would make the coffee. The water boiled in the bottom jug and then flowed up into the top glass through the ground coffee beans. When you put the burner out the water then flowed back down into the jug.
Like most coffee machines the flavour depends on what you put in it.
