Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore?

For some reason I think of it as an older concept. Now Starbucks and coffee chains are popular.

Highlighting carlcook’s advice:

dissolve in cold water, ONLY THEN add hot water. The rationale behind it is that aromatics evaporate too quickly when the instant powder is infused with too/boiling hot water.

When camping, never otherwise.

At least instant coffee makes sense in an economical way: it saves steps and time. what i don’t get are filter coffee machines, the coffee they make is always horrendous.

I keep it to make dalgona

What’s dalgona?

beanphanpy ,

Dalgona coffee is made by mixing equal parts of instant coffee, granulated sugar, and hot water. Here’s a recipe on how to make it!

That looks awesome!

I remember back when I drank coffee, one little joint in town did espresso with sweetened condensed milk, which was how I started moving into just espresso… Good times, bad habits!

I generally only drink instant for late night decaf, though the premixed Korean instant coffee packets are a treat every hour and then

In college, I used to drink Starbucks’ Via. That instant coffee hits different.

Nowadays, I make either an espresso or a pour over. But I still crave Vias sometimes.

I love coffee. I am a coffee snob. Instant coffee is easy to pack and travel with. If you have access to hot water it’s still coffee which is better than nothing. If you don’t have access to hot water then it’s a tastier caffeine pill.

My parents in law do it.

My wife prefers it. It’s fine with sweet creamer.

I keep a jar of it in my desk at the office.

Handy for those overnight callouts when noting else is available.

I drink instant cappuccino, a habit I picked up from my wife. It’s much less “coffee” than it is “vaguely coffee-flavored drink.”

In the army we used to get a pack of instant coffee with the afternoon meal. We rarely wanted to shit ourselves later in the bush, so, no. We’d save it for whomever was fucked with guard shift that night.

Please understand there is no hot water at night; no real water supply at all. We do not traipse about the boonies looking for a stream, nor do we make a fire so it can be seen for miles. We even hide the pips on our wristwatch.

Not since bush coffee have I had instant coffee. And if I die without having instant coffee again - even properly prepared - it will be too soon.

For me instant coffee is for backpacking, because when you’re busting your ass on the trail for a few days literally anything you can eat or drink tastes amazing

One of the best feelings in the world is a morning hike up the mountains, reaching a stopping soot and boiling some hot water for some tea/coffee.

Generally only when camping. Really like Mt. Hagen, but the canisters of Starbucks Premium Instant are decent.

Blizzard ,

I do. What’s the problem with it?

Potatos_are_not_friends ,

It’s too fast! Where you goin at that speed?

I feel like it’s 2 different market segments.

Starbuck and othes fancy coffee shop I am in town, look for clean toilets and wifi so I’d pay 10 € to get them

Instant I am camping, (and sometimes indoor without coffee machine) and want a coffee
