Is there such a thing as decent instant coffee?

If so, what is it called?

There's Coffee, which is what I drink.
Then there's powdered brown stuff, that I do try to avoid.

Nobody should be drinking Nescafe, it's immoral.

My preference when forced to drink instant, is Kenco.

Nescafe Fairtrade is about the best I've found. Tastes nothing like normal Nescafe. I think it's called Partners Blend.

Yes, Know all about the 'baby milk' action thing. UEA has banned Nestle products from the Union shops etc, and promotes fair trade ect. I do too, when i have the money, but untill i find a substitute that i like, and is not extortioanlty expensive i will carry on drinking it, personal choice i guess.

Instant coffee doesn't smell like coffee, so the last thing they do before sealing the jar is to spray coffee smell over the top - so when you open the jar you get some aroma.

I once went back in thyme when I fell off a wall whilst trying to escape from the garden of a mad herbalist.

NO, instant isn't coffee and shouldn't be labelled as such.
