Liquid gold! Now and again I like to mix my cup of instant coffee up a bit and instead of just sticking with regular Nescafe I like to try different instants. One of my favourite ones that I have discovered in the last couple of years is this Douwe Egberts Pure Gold.  I don't like my coffee too strong and prefer a milkier coffee like a latte or a cappuccino and so was pleased to find these granuales as they are described on the front of the jar as a medium roast coffee. On the back of the jar, Douwe Egberts ask you to, "experience the taste and aroma of Douwe Egberts Pure Gold." It is made from a blend of the finest quality beans and has a ...  Read the complete review

I love my coffee and usually have a few cups each morning. Over the years I have tried out several brands and a variety of these have been 'premium' type brands whilst others have been more budget offerings. Many of the more 'premium' brands that I have tried - and liked - have been from the well known 'Douwe Egberts' brand of coffee products. Taking advantage of a recent supermarket deal in a local branch of Tesco, I purchased a 100g jar of Douwe Egberts Pure Gold Coffee. I paid £2 for the jar, which is normally priced at £3.59. The packaging for most - if not all - of the items in the Douwe Egberts brand has quite a sleek, elegant look to it ...  Read the complete review

Before I get stuck into writing this review I must point out from the offset that I am not reviewing the 'Pure Gold' version of this coffee. No....but Dooyoo have told me to plonk my review on 'Le Cafe' here. Whether thats because the 'Gold' has been renamed 'Le Cafe' recently I do not know though! I love coffee, I don't drink alot of it though and so when I do so I appreciate a decent quality coffee. This being Douwe Egberts and being on offer in Asda for £2.00 a jar I had to snap it up knowing I was getting a bargain on a well known brand. The Packaging: The jar for this holds 100g of coffee and is see-thriough chunky glass with a pull ...  Read the complete review

Douwe Egberts - Pure Gold Instant Coffee I love coffee, probably a bit too much. There really is nothing better than a hot steaming cup of rich strong coffee, and of course my favourites are always fresh coffee made from just ground up beans. However, there isn't always the time or the inclination to take so long in brewing fresh coffee when all I want is a quick cup of something hot and caffeinated, therefore, instant coffee is the obvious choice. In my opinion, as far as instant coffee goes this Douwe Egberts Pure Gold is the best out there. I first came across this when a colleague brought her own jar into the office rather than ...  Read the complete review

Now, let me start by saying that normally my first choice in instant coffee would be Nescafe Gold Blend. Mainly because it's the coffee my mum had always bought and the one I'd grown to love myself. Until I began working in an office I hadn't tried that many different brands but now, I can certainly say that there are some poor brands of instant coffee out there! Now I am reviewing Douwe Egberts Pure Gold variety. I didn't buy this myself, my mum bought us two huge 200g jars as they were recently on offer in Asda, two for £6 which I think is a really good offer. Douwe Egberts have been making coffee since 1753 and their English head office is based ...  Read the complete review
