☕️ (I’ve also that noticed that Europeans and other foreigners regularly consume instant coffee at home too. Observers suggest America is an outlier in this regard because of the role entities like Starbucks play in our cultural life etc...It’s fast food but not instant coffee...)

I like Folgers instant. It’s damned fine cup of coffee. Sorry to say, but the Eurotrash are right on this. In a blind taste test, half our coffee snobs would probably pick instant over whatever Starbucks is selling them for $4 or $5 a cup.

I’ve wondered what instant espresso is like...

Try Cold Brewed Coffee

It's prolly not what you think......

I generally have instant coffee. It’s the 80/20 rule in effect. No, it doesn’t taste as good but considering the time and/or expense of alternatives it’s good enough. My daily coffee expense has to be pennies.

The best coffee I’ve ever had was in Japan (5 star hotel, no idea what they do or use), so everything else seems like second place anyway.

Belgium and The Netherlands, didn’t brew their own coffee. I found this to be amazing, given that in Ohio, I have been grinding beans and using a Chemex to brew the most delicious coffee known to man.

But we drink instant tea.

Starbux has to be the most amazing marketing concept ever.

I’m surprised they haven’t opened up gas stations selling gas for twice the price of everybody else.

Netscape is the best instant, but doesn’t hold a candle to Colombian brewed in a Keuric.

My parents always made espresso with one of those Italian stove top espresso makers. I’m not a coffee drinker but I love the flavor it gives baked goods.

Nescafe

The cattle don’t get the good food, they get the worst of the heavily processed bulk foods full of “medical” products like growth hormones, antibiotics, etc. All that livestock feed science is coming to your grocery store.

Folger’s classic roast instant coffee drinker here. We lived off grid for give years so we started drinking instant and just got used to it. Keeps longer too being freeze dried so it’s a better prep item, especially since all you need to be able to do is heat up water to 150 degrees. Can do that on a hobo stove with some sticks.

The Aeropress + a Hario Mini Mill works well for a travel setup (or just everyday individual use).

We only buy Kona or other island beans and grind out own coffee. Have been for years now since my wife found the lower acid of hawaiian coffee suited her.

I do not care as long as it has caffeine, but prefer brewing my own.

I don't drink coffee but my wife does.   Her life's mission is to find the best cup of coffee and is never satisficed with it within a few days after she thinks she has found it.

Nescafé®?   Perish the thought.

The only Starbucks coffee I like is their instant via packets sold at grocery stores! The Colombian.

Wifey is not a coffee person but loves her StarJunky’s frappy thingys.. I spare her criticism tho, I’m a regular morning Taster’s Choice instant swiller myself.

Some of the best I ever drunk was Sumatran or Hawaiian bean.

Best coffee is campfire coffee.. straight up.. imho

It’s common in S.E. Asia as well. TBH, I keep instant coffee at my houses in the UK and France, as I can just walk to a café if I want a fresh brew.
