you know your stuff.

even then i tried davidoff, boncafe and even tesco's version.

oh and klasno's version.

the early to mid 2000 nescafe gold freeze dried is still the best...

i think the reason it sucked was bcos it went thru halal certification.

anyway can try tchibo brand (same maker of Davidoff coffee).

for Davidoff I prefer their espresso, I believe there are 2-3 different blends.

espresso is the black and red jar. I forgot what blend is the cream coloured jar, but avoid that as the caffeine kick is a bit less...

oh and avoid boncafe whether it's red jar or green jar, blue jar even more useless (blue is decaff...)

nescafe black gold...

now sadly discontinued.

last time also got cap colombie and/or alta rica...

but still black gold is the bestest...

but freeze dried instant coffee don't last too long anyway, max if unopened would be 2 years from date of manufacture...

and usually i keep it inside fridge or at least somewhere where moisture/heat is limited...
