I like Starbucks coffee, probably because in work we had costa and I hated it and the Starbucks coffee was a lot smoother.

I wouldn't drink many of the main brands apart from Insomnia.

In spar and petrol station shops that sell Insomnia wouldn't be the same as what you'd get in the Insomnia coffee shops.

Cafe Nero do them very tasty! Foam in Terenure do a great coffee too. Have to agree Starbucks is horrible coffee.

L'Or Intense or Lavazza Prontissimo (Silver can) would be some of the better instant coffees I've tried.

Nespresso first thing in the morning  on way to Gym, another Nespresso before work,  another Nespresso at about 3.30 and would have a Nespresso Decaf at about 8.30 that night before bed. Spend about €70 every 6 weeks on Coffee.

BTW all instant Coffees are generally absolute f**king muck and anyone who tells you different knows f**k all about Coffee. 

Didn't the poster Nero from many moons ago setup a few Coffee shops around Tipp?

Think it depends on the country you're in tbh. McDonald'coffee is very nice at home but absolute p*ss abroad.

Starbucks is nicer in Dubai than it is in Ireland.

I like a strong tasting coffee so would have to say the worst I've ever tasted would be the one that you get from the machine in the Circle K garages, it's water with a subtle hint of coffee.

What I do there is take the cup away after the coffee has gone in and the water has to run.   it's not perfect but much nicer.

Starbucks is sh1t
McDonald’s far better
Butlers used do a nice coffee.
Far too many places have boiling water that scorched the beans.
Was up around clifden there a few weeks back and stopped in a shack the side of the road miss heron understood on the fjord. 30 min queue but was worth it. Unreal coffee.

It's amazing how many places seem to do this considering it's common knowledge that you don't use boiling water to make a coffee.

Starbucks is piss and I avoid at all costs.

Costa is the best of the big chains.

Can’t start my day without it tbh. Like somebody said before, an addiction. 

Whether it’s an nespresso at home or a coffee at a cafe, the day just isn’t right. 

Spend stupid money on it though but a good coffee is so worth it.

I much prefer tea.  Hate that stale coffee smell you get on your breath from it. Also coffee dehydrates you more and gives me headaches after a while.

Tea is more refreshing.  I like a nice coffee now and then just for a change.  Would never drink it at home.

Nicest coffee is Costa imo or some of the independent places.   When I was in France for euro 2016 the French served nice coffee but you'd pay 4.50 for a tiny cup of it which was a 'regular'.  More like an espresso size!

I was drinking 4-6 cups a day but have cut it down to the morning coffee and another before hitting the gym on gym days.

Love it but trying to eat a more healthy natural diet last few weeks as I recover from the damage during lockdown and one of the things to cut back on or cut out ideally is the caffeine

Hate to sound like a coffee snob which I'm about to do but Costa is ****ish. I'm more of a tea person but whatever beans they use seems to have a burnt taste. That could also be a sign of excellent coffee and I like too much mild tasting sh*te LOL
