Advantages: Ground coffee flavour at the Instant price

Disadvantages: Not Fair Trade

I am not a great coffee drinker, I used to be, and then for some reason best known to my taste buds- I seem to always prefer tea now- albeit many different teas.

But I have to have coffee in for the visitors and I will always opt for the best known brand that's on offer.

I have noticed that I get more compliments about my coffee using Kenco decaffeinated than any other brand and with the exception of one friend who reminded me I should be buying fairtrade, ( can't argue with him). Normally they just say thanks for the coffee and I hear no more about it- but now they seem to make a point of saying how much they have enjoyed their cuppa. I must admit that it always smells like coffee- now that may sound daft- but not all of them have that strong fresh coffee aroma.

Yesterday, and this is what prompted me to write a review, a friend said she had been out to dinner and had asked the host what the coffee she had served in a cafetiere was- as my friend was enjoying it so much she drank it black, something I have never known her to do. The hostess had to confess that it wasn't ground coffee but Kenco decaffeinated instant.

The recent add campaign for Kenco made a strong point of the fact that the same beans were used in it's instant coffee as it's ground. I guess my friend's experience supports that.

Kenco, mention on the label that their coffee is a good source of antioxidants, but it is in very small print, perhaps they do not want to be seen to be jumping on Tea's bandwagon.

Years ago when I was a major coffee consumer- I got caffeine poisoning, so even though the coffee I buy now isn't for my consumption, I like to do my bit to prevent others having a similar problem

I think people find the coffee that suits their own particular taste, but if you haven't tried Kenco decaff- next time it is on offer- it might be worth a go.

Summary: Worth a try when on offer
