I can not tell the difference between coffees, but I find that the nestle coffee has an acid taste and after adding some milk, the acid taste weakened and sometimes can not be felt. While the cappuccino has a strong taste of milk and I like it very much. The black coffee is a little like tea in taste but delicious when mixed with sugar. Can you find the differences between coffees, and what kind do you prefer?

I am a complete coffee addict, I admit it. I can't function until I have had my caffine fix of the day. I drink my coffee stong,black and unweetened - because of this I like good coffee and it is one product that I will not economise on. Over my married life ( 340 years of it) I have had all sorts of coffee machines in my quest for a good cup of coffee, not just one that smells good when you walk in the kitchen but also tastes as good as it smells. I have had caffetieres, traditional expressom makers that you heat on the hob, an all singing and dancing cappuchino and espresso maker and umpteen different filter coffee machines. But I never did find the perfect one, the tatse wasn't quite right, or they were very difficult to clean or I ended up with a jug of stewed, bitter coffee. That was until six years ago when my dear husband walked in with a little present for me - a Phillips Senseo coffee maker. It didn't take long for me to realise that my search was over and I had found the coffee machine of my dreams. A coffee machine that looks good, is incredibly easy to use, very easy to clean and most important makes a perfect cup of coffee every time at the touch of a button. Six years on my senseo is still going strong ( and believe me it is VERY well used) The Senseo coffee machine is made by Phillips with an input from the coffee makers, Douwe Egberts.

I too drink my coffee black and unsweetened but I don't like it too strong. When I have drank coffee in some places abroad I find the coffee is too strong and bitter and actually makes me feel sick. I understand about not wanting to economise with coffee and I used to be the same, but due to being out of work I have had to do this and it's not as bad as I thought it would be. I drink Tesco Value coffee and it does have a good aroma, isn't too strong but certainly is not weak.

I will never forget when I visited what was Yugoslavia about 30 years ago. My husband would not fly then so we travelled overland, it took 3 days. I was desperate for a cup of coffee when I got there and asked for a black coffee; when it came it was like Mersey mud, literally so thick that a spoon would stand up in it, it was disgusting! I soon found out that to get a decent (by my standard)cup of black coffee you had to ask for an espresso!!!

I can tell whenever I have been unfortunate to drink Mellow Birds coffee. The taste is just horrible. Some of my favourites are Nescafe God and Dowe Egberts, but I will often just buy which ever is on offer to help save the pennies.

I remember when Mellow Birds first came out, it was terrible, I've never had it since, it didn't taste anything at all like coffee!!!!

Same here, I drank it once and I've never tried it again. I can't believe that they're still going as I don't know anyone that buys it, and in fact I have never seen anyone buy it when I'm out shopping. It's always stocked up whilst other brands are running low or sold out completely

I don't have a high requirement for coffee. After all, coffee is not our main drink here. So a cup of instant coffee will be good enough for me. Since it will not take a long time making such kind of coffee. It is quite convenient. I don't like black coffee because I don't like the bitter flavor. I love China

I'm not much on the fancy stuff like lattes and cappuccinos and what not. I just prefer a nice strong hazelnut flavored coffee. I'll drink some regular stuff if it's nice and strong but I can't stand weak coffee especially if it isn't flavored.

I enjoy many different types of coffee. I do not prefer to drink flavored coffees though but if that is all there is, I might take a cup. I like the taste of cuban coffee, espresso, capuccino, etc.

I've never had flavoured coffee, apart from adding a dash or two of brandy. What flavours do you recommend?

hi:) I like coffee's but now I only drink decaffeinated because I get some palpitation when I drink black coffee or any type of coffee that has caffeine on it *sigh* but sometimes I can help it, especially when it has sweetened milk, oh I think it's delicious.

There's a new Nescafe 3-in-One coffee in the market today - in brown sugar, well that's smooth. I liked it the very first time I tasted it. I also liked Dowe Egberts when I was abroad, very nice coffee.

For imported coffees i like Maxwell House. But for a local one, Nescafe is the best for me. For a cupful, a teaspoonful of coffee , 1/2 teaspoon of coffee mate and some sugar will be very delicious already. I don't like other stuffs to be mixed anymore.

oh no, you have just reminded me i forgot to buy a new jar of instant coffee when i went to the shops. i tend to drink instant at home, usually nescafe, but when i'm out i buy americano's or filter coffee and just add a little bit of cold milk. i don't like coffee black, some definitely taste better than others, but not so different that i must always have my favourite. though a vanilla coffee sounds fun, i might try that next time i'm in the right coffee shop.

I like vanilla coffee because of its sweet taste. But since I can only buy it in places like Starbucks, I don't normally drink it. Generally, I prefer very mild coffee. So, if I am buying coffee from a local coffee shop, I would always tell the seller to give me very mild black coffee with lots of sugar. Occasionally, I will order coffee with milk. It is said that expensive coffee beans are normally bitter in taste. So, I suppose the more bitter a particular brand of coffee is, the better it is in terms of quality.

For myself, I have to prefer decaf black. If added milk it is more calories, but those flavored coffees are so very good. There a lot of differences in coffee. The brands as well as the tastes, but I would love it all if I could medically drink it. Those new coffees are great!!! glowin100

I usually use maxwell house coffee as my husband is not to fond of the specialty blends. I do like the vanilla and chocolate coffees though. They are really good.
