Best instant?

What do forummers go for in instant coffee? I've had some really dire instant at other people's gaffs, in restaurants etc. At home I stick to two:

Nescafe Alta Rica. A very nice strong, but not bitter, coffee
Nescafe Cap Colombie. Still a nice full flavour, less strong. Good for later in t'day.

Don't offer me any sh Censored t like 'Mild Roast' Yeuuuch ...

Be true to yourself. That way happiness lies...

Mine is a De'Longhi ESAM6700. Not cheap, but makes a bloody perfect cup of coffee every time.

Can't be doing with Nescafe. Kenco Millicano for me. Was on the Tassimo Kenco but the pods seem expensive now. Silver 2009 HSE

Nescafé expresso, best I've tried yet, always gets compliments - FL2 3.2 i6 - There is no Replacement for Displacement

If my wife ever sells my stuff for what I told her I paid for it, there will be some bargains out there!
