Performance and taste:
If you're looking for a fuss free instant coffee with a fresh ground taste then this might be what you've been waiting for. This is certainly a premium blend coffee and I found that the granules dissolved easily unlike some other cheaper brands that tend to require a lot of stirring. I don't normally drink milk so I was very pleased to see that this coffee combines extremely well with dairy free alternatives such as almond and soya milk. It has a wonderful strong coffee aroma and definitely a smooth texture with absolutely no bitter after taste, exactly what I look for in an instant coffee. I will continue to purchase this product as I feel it's great value and flavor. Eco refills are also available for the kenco freeze-dried coffee range as well as a decaffeinated option.

Kenco Millicano
by joey92
Looking for some coffee to keep us going on moving flats day, we found Kenco Millican wholebean instant on special offer in Tesco.
As a seasoned coffee lover, I can identify a good instant coffee from the bad. I personally really like the flavour of this one. Branded a slightly more premium design than the standard Kenco, ... there is a subtle taste difference which makes for a nicer drink.
In direct comparison to the red Kenco coffee jar, this one tastes smoother and slightly richer.
The rich flavour and lovely aroma when you add hot water makes it the perfect choice in the morning to wake up if you want to treat yourself to a little something nice. It comes in a resealable packet to keep the granules fresh though some idiot in my house has ripped the packet open. Regardless, the coffee tastes great and the size of the packet is quite nice as when you fancy a change, it's not a very large packet.
It was well priced on offer, but I'm not sure I'd buy it every time if it wasn't on offer, being a bargain hunter!
In summary, a lovely, rich, flavoursome coffee, one up from your standard instant coffee for those without alternative coffee facilities. Something to have as a treat, this isn't a budget product but is worth the spend. Good sized packet.

Kenco Really Rich
by Millsy83
When I get up in the morning, there's nothing I like better than a decent cup of coffee. I wouldn't say I'm a coffee geek, but I am a bit of a coffee snob - there are certain friends who I know don't drink/ have decent coffee, I'll pack my own jar if I'm staying over.
I've tried many brands/ varieties of coffee over the years ... and, I have to say, this is the best I've tasted. The aroma when you first open the jar, the colour when you make it, and the smell that lingers after you've finished just makes it perfect.
I won't bore you with the 'making a cup of coffee' instructions, mainly because everyone is different, but I find this has a great strength and there is a massive depth of flavour there - sometimes if you buy a more budget brand, the flavour can be very limited, but you get what you pay for with this. Made with Arabica beans, there's a lot more body to this than the Smooth variety.
Most times I go to the supermarket, there is an offer on coffee and I always take advantage when this coffee is on offer - meaning I never run out. It is great value, and it comes in the Eco Refill, which is great.
