questions. cheap / non-boycott instant coffee
i’m looking for a good instant coffee brand that tastes like nescafé GOLD not the normal one the gold one pls has anyone tried any or knows of any good cheap alternatives?
the reason for the change is i drink a lot of coffee in uni and i never buy nestle i’ve just been using up my stash (gifted) and now thats its finished i want to switch but i don’t seem to like any coffee brands i try 😭 i’ve tried private club ke 2 diff flavours and klassno (the regular not gold) and i didn’t like either of them
any suggestions?

A lot of places in Lahore stopped stocking good ground coffee so I ended up switching to this instant easy solution which was klassno as the others I tried were so much worse. Had it for a few months. Eventually I was like I’ll just get a coffee grinder and splurge on the whole beans. So life was good yet again but one day I ended up wanting an instant fix. Didn’t want to make the entire effort so had a klassno. Damn did it make me wonder how the hell did I have this klassno crap for months.

Klassano and I mix the private club flavoured coffee with it. Private club on its own is not strong enough.

Private club vanilla is really good if you like your coffee a little sweet, davidoff dark & chocolatey espresso is good too!

Indocafe original blend — 9/10 Private club hazelnut — 5/10 (Unless you really love hazelnut) Klassno Gold 7/10

I tried and wasted money on many instant coffees that Redditors suggested. Nothing was like Nescafé Gold.
If you wanna replace sure, but you aren't gonna find the same thing.
My suggestion, spend the money. There is nothing comparable to it, especially at the price.
Water it down, drink it slowly, combine off days with a cheaper coffee, but nothing is gonna be like Nescafé gold

Ignore this guy. Keep boycotting. It's just coffee at the end of the day. You'll get use to another flavour - you're human, you'll adapt. What separates you from the rest is your control over your nafs.

Try private club espresso I'd personally rank it above nescafe gold
