It's certainly the hottest, but once you get halfway through the bitterness turns your mouth inside out! Costa everyday for me!

A decaf americano in a small independent near us. It was genuinely undrinkable.

They're starting to do a flat white I think i saw too. Waitrose free coffee is pretty good!!

The worst would be all those years of bitter, weak, overbrewed kona coffee they used to serve all over the UK - we only ever got a decent cup when we went to France!! That or the overpriced Starbucks I bought in the motorway with NO discernable taste of coffee!!

Worst coffee I’ve ever had the misfortune to drink, I actually spat it back into the cup but that was about eight years ago and it wasn’t bastardised with frothy sweet milk.

I don't drink any coffee I love the smell but hate the taste, but a few at work have said how that McDonald's coffee is pretty good now. But people spend a fortune on it at work, we have a Costa coffee cart and some people spend £10 a day every day!!

Flat White from Ouseburn Coffee concession in Fenwick's is great. They have a proper cafe somewhere too. I used to like Pink Lane Coffee but it is weak as fuck every time I go now.

Starbucks tastes awful. Over roasted to try and disguise the fact they are too stingy with the weight of, or quality of, the coffee beans used.

" Costa flat white is good "

Agreed. Because it tastes like a latte should, whilst their latte doesn't

The chains are uniformly crap. Cheapest beans they can source either over-roasted and bitter or bland and weak. Find a decent independent shop that roasts their own and discover that coffee is as varied as wine. And learn to make it properly at home.

The best coffee I've had recently, is at a cafe in town called Cafe Indiependent. Love it.

I'll drink most but frequent small outlets that I know have fantastic coffee.

The worst has to be the dives that used to throw in whatever instant coffee they used, coupled with some cheap UHT milk.

I won't buy Nestle stuff on principle and generally drink tea at home. A flask is worth it, to take when traveling, so you know the ground coffee you have is of good quality.

Rijo machine coffee is rank but their mocha is passable.

I had another branded machine one in a pub this morning which was THE worst I've ever had, cappuccino the color of soil, tasted foul and the foam was loose and dispersed quickly.

You can't beat my 'local' independent place. I travel a 12 mile round trip for their coffee, never had a cup to match it up or down the country, independent, chain or machine.

Honest I'm not a coffee snob.

It seems to depend on where I go. Some branches of the same brand appear to have different quality.

As a rule of thumb, Costa is persistently good taste and quality. Nero is mostly decent, but I've had such varied experience from different Starbucks. The one that was local to me used to be my favourite place for coffee, but a lot of the other outlets always seemed to make theirs weaker

Starbucks coffee is shite! Costa do a ground coffee that's smooth but I mainly use coffee pods from nescafe, Aldi and lor. L'or also sell ground coffee which is nice.
