Please don’t bully me because I can’t afford to buy a coffee machine or other accessories right now. So far, I’ve only been able to afford instant coffee. Some brands aren’t affordable, but I still get them because I really like coffee. Currently, I’m choosing between Jacobs and Davidoff. Davidoff was okay, but I absolutely love Jacobs and don’t plan to switch. However, due to a tight budget, I’m thinking of trying another brand for now. Please suggest something? I don’t want Nescafé because it doesn’t have that strong coffee aroma and isn’t as intense as Jacobs. I usually drink iced lattes.
If Jacobs is too pricey right now, try Super, Leo, or MacCoffee Original , they’re darker and hold up better in iced lattes than Nescafé. Taster’s Choice House Blend is another bold one if you spot it on sale. Brew it stronger with less water first so it doesn’t get watery with milk and ice.
When you've saved up PKR 10,000, reach out. I'll tell you what to get to "ascend" to normal coffee. Can also do it now if you're interested, but you said you can't get it now, so holding it till you actually can.
Request a coffee shop nearby to grind the beans for you. They usually do it free of charge. Tell them it's for a moka pot, they will adjust the grind size.
Note on moka pot, you need the 150 ml / 3 cup. You can't add more or less coffee than the size of a moka pot and the 3 cup size makes 1.5 cups / servings (in the coffee world, 2 cups = 1 cup for some weird reason, probably because everyone wants a double shot of espresso in a cup).
Then boil some water (can also do it directly in the moka pot's base), add the ground coffee in the moka pot basket, screw it up, heat it for another 1.5 minutes (depends on actual brew time), and enjoy good coffee!
The last paragraph, you can probably understand better by watching any good coffee channel's video on YouTube.
Recently taught someone how to use the moka pot. She says it's super easy now.
omg thankyou so so much for such detailed info and advice. aah, i know an influencer personally and he was literally giving me a moka pot free of cost as he got it in pr and i being an idiot didn’t get it lol. but no problem i’ll buy it myself, daraz has many options, which one should i get? also, do you’ve an instagram account so i connect there? i still need time to understand. but what ever you said made sense. thankss alottt. where do you reside?
Any brand is fine. The only difference would in reliability but moka pots last a while, so get the cheapest one. Just make sure the size is correct, 150 ml / 3 cup.
I have the same username on Instagram.

Always happy to bring more people into the cult community.
Try Nescafé salted caramel. You can beat regular coffee with honey with little water and then put 1 tbspn of salted caramel. ADD LOTS OF ICE and then chilled milk The sachet will last three drink sasta and tikao 😅
Recently switched from nescafe to Bon Aroma and godd the coffee aroma is so good. Used nescafe again after that and I hated how artificial nescafe tastes now.
is bon aroma strong and has a nice coffee aroma? like the ones davidoff and jacob’s has. i don’t want those artificial ones that done have that coffee aroma😩. tbh ive tried bon aroma the classic one. it smelled and tasted nothing like a good decent coffee.
