Normally I wouldn't enter a squabble or cast views that would antagonise but I felt the previous review of one star needed an objectionable view. I myself am no coffee expert nor do I frequent establishments that specialise in it, I always have preferred a decently calorie laden beer if the truth is to be known...
However I found this particular product quite enjoyable with a couple of spoons of whitener. Admittedly I have sampled better coffees over the years (at much greater expense of course) but then it really is a personal taste-thing at the end of the day. Therefore I have given it four stars purely on the merit of price versus enjoyment. The actual coffee itself would be a three star event but as mentioned, the price edges it a bit nearer towards the value for money in my own humble opinion. It is quite a mild coffee granted, but it's not as bitter and certainly more drinkable then many other instant coffees I have had to make a comparison. Maybe I am much easier to please in such circumstances but everyone who's visited my home and had a mug/cup have made remarks that it's "Quite nice" and didn't say "No" to a second helping. Either they we're being polite and my wife and I are completely wrong in the world of coffee. Or it is just an enjoyable, middle-of-the-road hot beverage as I personally think it is.
