This is a perfect Instant Coffee.
This Coffee is above average taste and put all others to shame at $4 a jar. Pity it's always out of stock then have to buy the inferior over priced offerings, I did find a Coles granulated for $3.60 good price for average coffee.

I love this coffee more than Nescafé!
I’m a big sucker for coffee, I usually love Nescafé but never like mocona. This organic instant coffee is very tasty. Like coffee should, so coles you’ve won my coffee addicted heart.

Very good everyday product
Moccona dark roast was my "everyday" coffee, interspersed with occasional Nespresso and Illy pods, plunger and brewed ground coffee etc but since Moccona's massive price rises I've been looking for cheaper alternatives of similar quality. Woolworths Classic was recommended but wasn't as good, however Coles Organic Fairtrade Gold is, and is cheaper every day of the week, even when Moccona is one special. I know coffee has risen in price but Moccona's price increases have been astronomical.
So, Moccona has lost me, Coles has a new coffee buyer. Ain't competition good?

Inoffensive, but watery/bland
So this seems to be getting a lot of rave reviews...and I kinda get it, because a lot of the time instant coffee can be kinda nasty, and this isn't, and it's very affordable. So don't get me wrong, it's good value if you just want a cheap, not-nasty caffeine hit. My issue with it is that it barely tastes like anything once you add milk...it's inoffensive, sure. But if you actually wanted to taste coffee when you drink your coffee I would recommend a different brand. My usual is Caffe Aurora's Medaglio D'oro at Woolies, only a dollar or so more
... Read moreexpensive but it is fantastic and tastes strongly of coffee. This will do in a pinch - I only bought it because I'm temporarily staying somewhere quite far from a Woolworths...but yeah, if I had to buy again at Coles I'd be more likely to try the also-high-scoring Nescafe Gold 5 or one of the Moccona offerings.Purchased in at Coles.
Another convert after Moconna changed for the worst a few years ago
I used to be a Moconna zombie from way back but they absolutely lost the plot when they changed their flavour/manufacturing process 3 or 4 years ago. Anyway, I noticed that plenty of others here at productreview agreed that Moconna was now undrinkable and many were recommending the Coles Organic Fairtrade instead. So I gave it a try and was instantly satisfied. Finding a good instant coffee is way harder than it should be but thankfully the search is now over. Just a refined smooth coffee experience without the unpleasant aftertaste that so man
... Read morey other brands fall victim to. As others have mentioned the only drawback is with Coles being the sole grocer that sells it (obviously!) so it can be hard to find, doubly so since the pandemic. But I always keep 3 or 4 jars in my own personal supply and stock up when I see it on the shelves.Find out how Coles Organic Fairtrade Gold Freeze Dried compares to other Instant Coffees

Pleasant suprise
Like many others I used to drink moconna kenya style. Ive tried many others but they all have that bitter mud taste. This however is actually very nice. For $4 you cant go wrong

Best tasting instant coffee I have tried so far,
This is probably the best tasting instant coffee I have tried so far, the only down side is the the caffeine level seems to be low. I just put twice the amount to get my caffeine fix. This is one of those rare ocation when the store brand tastes better than the name brand. Well done Coles.

Quality & value for money
Surprised! Very well rounded, smooth, no bitterness when made strong. A satisfying refreshing hit of caffeine. Money back guarantee if not happy too.

My regular start to the day
I've been buying this for years now after Moccona changed their recipe and I went searching for a mid strength, not bitter, coffee. I've also converted a few others who have given up on some of the more expensive and not as nice options.
It can be difficult to find in stock at my local Coles so I always get two so I don't run out. As a side note, if you leave it untouched for a month or two, the coffee grains will dry up (left in the office during covid work from home time). I assume that means that the lid is not super airtight - probably the only improvement to make.

Do recommend it
it fits my tastes very well, good that Coles sells it all year round
i would say it is as good as big branded coffee and for me it tastes even better.
as everyone has different taste

Best and cheapest!
I have literally tried everything in the search for a decent instant coffee to much frustration. I’ve imported from overseas and tried every and all the new ones that come out, but this remains the best. I still can’t believe that the price for it is so low compared to expensive (and wickedly bitter) coffees on the market.
I don’t know what Douwe Egbert did to their Moccona recipe from the 1990’s, but the insoluble rubbish they produce now isn’t recognisable. This coles brand is the closest thing I’ve had to it since.
