say Rob Forsyth from Sydney being interviewed on Today Tonight [or one of those 6.30 shows] last night - doing a taste test of instant coffees...

He rated Blend 43 and Moccono first equal, Harris third and International Roast last; so now we know...

Thanks Admin, I will certainly sleep better tonight with that information under my belt. As a matter of interest have you ever counted the number of beans in an 18 gram shot? its a lot more the 43 miserable Robusta beans I can assure you. 😉

But what is wrong with a good Robusta... I do not mind the odd drop.

DOnt think I'd be game to try a robusta unless it was from a boutique roaster, or unless I roasted it myself!

I suppose if I wanted to try some robusta there's plenty of commercial blends on the market Mmwahahaha!

Was just about to make the comment, there's no shortage of the stuff on supermarket shelves. ;D
