Kenco Rich roast I always tend to buy the smooth roast version of instant coffee in general and I have drunk and enjoyed Kenco's smooth roast quite a few times in the past. However, when I did a Tesco shop online they didn't have any smooth roast and they substituted this rich roast in its place, I decided to give it a go as there was no other coffee in the house. Personally, I can be quite picky about coffee preferring real filtered fresh coffee every time, but there just isn't always the time or the inclination to make this so I like to have a nice instant coffee in the house as well. There are a few instant coffees that I really like ...  Read the complete review

When your coffee machine or cafetiere has broken down, Kenco Rich Roast serves happily as a great instant substitute. It is, in terms of quality, far better than a lot of the instant coffees in its price range (which is fairly modest.) It tastes better, it smells better, and you get some great value for money that definitely isn't to be sniffed at. The label and jar itself are pretty much flawless, and the extra large, extra tight plastic top helps keep the coffee granules fresh and tasty for a really, really long time. Definitely can't fault this one in terms of packaging. It also has a very classy, almost posh look that complements any kitchen cupboard ...  Read the complete review

Both me and my mate adore coffee and last week on holiday we ran out of money! We ended up buying cheap instant coffee and we were not impressed by it at all as it's something of a necessity to us! I usually only drink Carte Noir or filtered coffee and consider myself to be a slight coffee snob really! My mate, likes anything as long as it's branded and so as soon as she got paid she was out the house (we at her house now lol) whilst I slept and woke me to a cup of coffee in bed. Usually I don't like being woken up but as soon as I smelt the coffee I jumped up! She informed me she had got a big jar of this for £3.00 and that it usually cost alot more than that and felt ..  Read the complete review

I had a cafetierre for Xmas so have been using the coffee up that come with it but sometimes there isn't time so then I always have a jar of Kenco in as well. This Rich Roast one that comes in a blue jar is the best because you get a nice strong cup of coffee that doesn't blatently taste like instant coffee. The smell is dead rich when you open the jar and it smells proper fresh, the granules look quite big but they dissolve quick and easily into the boiling water and as long as you stir it properly you don't get any bits of black stuff floating on the top of your drink. The coffee smells nice and strong and it tastes delish. My fave way to drink ...  Read the complete review

I think I can see why I got 50% extra free - a 300gm jar of this stuff for the price of what 200gm would have allegedly been. When you break the seal of this instant coffee you get that lovely appetising aroma. The next day you unscrew the lid and what a disappointment and then it dawns that you've got to plough your way through this jar of stuff. On the second day it smells of almost a garden fertilizer, chemically, like dry dust from an old shed. A heaped teaspoon magically dissolves into a mug of almost boiling water and there you have this think of instant "coffee" It smells of hot water, ie almost nothing and it's black so ...  Read the complete review
