Hey Alex,
Thanks so much for your honest review and we're so sorry to hear our Instant Coffee didn't quite meet your expectations.
All our Instant Coffee is made with specialty grade beans and rigorously tested for any nasties to make sure you're always getting a clean cup. Objective the quality is fantastic, but we completely understand taste is subjective.
Our caffeine controlled range is packed with antioxidants to make you feel amazing and we're honestly gutted you didn't feel that this time.
We'd love to send you some of our tasty Fresh Coffee Bags as an alternative to try. They're packed with our deliciously smooth 100% Arabica Energising Colombian Coffee and are perfect for a quick, fresh cup 💛
If that sounds good to you, please could you send your best delivery address to our lovely Customer Experience team at divein@truestartcoffee.com and we'll get those in the post for you from TrueStart HQ.
Otherwise, thank you for giving our independent, family business a go and we're sorry we didn't meet your expectations this time 🫶

Not Coffee in my opinion!
Very disappointed. Unfortunately I bought 2 tins of the Super blend plus 2 tins of the decaf. Only my opinion of course so not here to stitch the brand up or jump on any bandwagon but this definitely has no coffee smell or taste for me. I actually take my coffee black no sugar so this is based on just the coffee. I have even tried putting 2 teaspoons in instead of one. Still doesn’t smell or taste like coffee and bad aftertaste in my mouth. I’ll be binning it now to be honest after 2 cups of each. Make your own mind up but only buy 1. You probably won’t buy again.

Hey Keith,
Thank you so much for your honest review and we're so sorry to hear about your experience 💛
To be honest, this sounds a bit concerning as the Instant Coffee absolutely should have a lovely aroma and rich, smooth taste! All our Instant Coffee is made with 100% specialty grade beans and rigorously tested for moulds and heavy metals to guarantee you're always getting a clean up, so objectively the quality is fantastic and we're sorry this happened.
It's a shame we weren't able to get the batch number and expiry date so we can log this as part of our product quality assurance process, but rest assured I've passed this incident on to our production team to investigate. Thank you so much for letting us know!
We'd love to get you some fresh tins in the post or some of our other coffee if you fancy giving that a go. We have an absolutely delicious range of Fresh Coffee Bags, Beans, Ground or Cold Brew. You can check it all out on our website: https://www.truestartcoffee.com/
Please just drop our fab Customer Experience team a message letting them know what you'd like to try along with your best delivery address and we'll pop that in the post for you from TrueStart HQ 😊
Again, thanks so much for flagging this. Our Instant Coffee range is packed with antioxidants and caffeine controlled to make you feel amazing and we're really sorry you didn't feel that this time.

Rest assured that the coffee is made with 100% specialty grade beans so objectively the quality is outstanding - however we totally understand taste is subjective.
We also do lab test our coffee to be free from moulds, heavy metals and other nasties as well as being caffeine controlled per serve - which is why it makes you feel good. But, we're really sorry you didn't feel that and we'd love to make it up to you!
We'd love to get some of our delicious Fresh Coffee Bags in the post for you to try (like a tea bag, but coffee!) They're packed with our 100% Arabica Single Origin Energising Colombian Coffee and we think they'll be more your thing 😋

Best instant coffee I've ever had
The instant has a smooth taste, blends well (have only tried with hot water so far). Genuinely the best instant coffee I've ever tried, and I've tried so many. Hoping to try the decaf next.
Update: tried the decaf instant, and the decaf ground. Both are beautiful. I now only need one shot of the ground instead of the 2 I needed with a well known Italian coffee brand. Really impressed.

Barista grade instant coffee
At £6 for a 100g tin from the coop it's not exactly a cheap coffee, that said it has a very pleasant taste without any of the bitter aftertaste that most of the mainstream brand coffees have.
I'd suggest giving it a try.

Not for me
Good afternoon
I think I got a little swept up in the online hype with this one. I normally use a Sage bean-to-cup machine and was hoping to find a quicker, more instant alternative for busy mornings. Unfortunately, I really wanted to like this coffee, but it just didn’t deliver.
Im finding there was barely any coffee flavour. It actually reminded me of chicory coffee from years ago, with a strange aftertaste . I was also expecting a rich aroma when I opened the box, but there was nothing at all.
I purchased 6 and gave 2 as a gift. I purchased caffeine and 2 variety caffeine free options. I have not tried the lighly caffeinated one yet .
It’s a great concept and a very impressive marketing campaign, I genuinely wish you well, but this instant coffee just wasn’t for me.
Perhaps my lesson is to stick to fresh beans.

Crushingly mediocre...
I was looking for something comparable to Illy Intenso Instant Coffee which is near to filter coffee taste as I've ever found. A couple of people mentioned Truestart so I purchased some from my local supermarket. Boy was I disappointed - a bland nonesdescript coffee that is to Illy what Dairylea cheese is to vintage cheddar. It's stunningly awful. The crushing disappointment is that there is just nothing to it - it tastes "instant " and there are at least 5 other instant coffees that edge it at a fraction of the cost.

Hey :)
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your honest feedback and for giving our Instant Coffee a try. We're really sorry to hear it wasn’t to your taste and can imagine that must have felt disappointing.
All of our Instant Coffees are made using specialty-grade beans and are rigorously tested for moulds, heavy metals, and any nasties, so the quality is objectively very high, but we completely understand that taste is personal. Our range is also caffeine-controlled and packed with natural antioxidants to make you feel amazing, but we’re honestly gutted it didn’t hit the mark for you this time.
This does sound unusual, our customers usually compare our Instant Coffee to a cafetière style coffee so the fact you are finding it bland is concerning. If it's not too much trouble, we'd love it if you could please share the batch number and expiry date on the tin? We'll pass this straight on to our production team so they can investigate as part of our product quality assurance process.
We'd love to send you some of our Fresh Coffee Bags (like a tea bag, but coffee!) as an alternative to try. They are filled with our 100% Arabica Energising Colombian Coffee, and I think they might be more your thing.
