I totally agree with you Matty. I have all the coffee makers like plunger, Italian pot, dripper, espresso and even a double flat black Greek/Italiano style that is like syrup with grit, LOL. But I keep coming back to my Moccona too.

Yeah, Moccona Indulgence is the best instant I have had, and as I am usually in a rush in the mornings, is pretty much the only one that gets a go. Used to have some coffee/macadamia special mix from Hawaii years back, but the Maccona gets the job done just fine!
What?, poker without the river??, you've just made my dreams come true!!!

I was a Moccona drinker then I found Nespresso,,,( http://www.nespresso.com/#/au/en ) This is without a doubt the best coffee I have ever had!!
Easy to use and a variety of flavours to suit
I bought the Delonghi machine, sure it was $400, but well worth it if your a coffee lover

Takes about a week apparently (from memory) for your system to be rid of the craving.
Headaches are the worst :(

Instant coffee is the runt of the litter when it comes to the beans used.
It's the other crap they put in there that make it taste "acceptable".
