Instant coffee gets exactly the reputation it deserves. The same as instant grits, instant oatmeal, or anything else featuring the word instant. You don't make instant coffee because it's high quality, you do it because it's quick. What reputation do you think it should have?

There are instant grits? Lol. Grits are already damn near instant. They take less than 10 minutes to make . I didnt even know they had instant grits
by Complex-Rip2 weeks ago
Yeah, they are awful and processed to hell and back. More like a powder than actual grits

Call me bougie if you want but instant coffee costs more and tastes bad.

I've also seen an opinion that listed instant coffee being faster to prepare. Well, my nespresso machine would like a word, all I do in the morning with one of my eyes half open is press a button and in 20 seconds I have my coffee which is much better, and I don't need to grab a kettle, boil water and so on

Oat milk iced instant coffee is 👌

With a lot of whole milk.

Just eat the coffee granuels. It's quicker and "more instant" than Instant Coffee. Afterall, it's about getting the caffeine into you quickly.

I've switched to instant only a while ago. A few tips: Buy good instant coffee. Use less and add more as needed. And if you use creamer, add the coffee to it first and stir, then add your water. If you drink it black add the crystals to a bit of cold water first and stir, then add the hot water.

I mean.. it really comes down to personal preference. People aren't necessarily wrong for liking instant coffee over the other methods of making it. They are crazy though.

Just found some at my local Dollarama for less than I usually see elsewhere. Think I'll buy a few ata time. In the morning I drink a cup of Tim Hortons instant and then I buy one before work at THs. Is richer on account of the 18% cream (I think).

It's fine if you like it. But I'd rather drink a cup of warm ditch water.
by Anonymous2 weeks ago
Warm ditch water gets a bad rap. Not everyone is bougie
by Anonymous2 weeks ago
Drink your ditchwater cold like a man , then boogie
by Anonymous2 weeks ago
I am bougie but I love warm ditch water also. So not everyone who drinks warm dishwater is not bougie. Check yourself

Instant coffee is a different drug with its own uses and with a greater potential for abuse.

If instant coffee was better than other coffee, it would be the only coffee.

I use instant coffee very morning to make iced coffee.

I feel like people who drink instant coffee only drink it for the caffeine and not because they actually like the taste
by Fair_Historian2 weeks ago
I don't want to live where you live if that's the case.

Then you most likely don't. I have to pay 14$ in a niche greek coffee shop that's only open 4 hours a day if I want a decent coffee.

It's not instant, but sometimes those cheap and weak hotel room brews hit the spot. If my hotel room only had instant, I would make do, because I expect very little
by Anonymous2 weeks ago
That's because it's awful.

Instant coffee tastes what I would imagine old oven scrapings with hot water added to it tastes like.

I drink hot coffee black. To me instant coffee is a rough experience.

I prefer instant too. Switched to drip for years because it just seemed like the mature thing to do lol Then one day a neighbour made me an instant coffee and I was like OhYa, missed this deliciousness and switched back

I'm a coffee lover and I remember in the 70s having an obscure brand of instant coffee from Africa and I still can't forget how delicious it was. Don't remember what it was called.
by vivian482 weeks ago
It's typically made with robusta which has great caffeine load and is a hardy plant but really not known for flavor. So coffee snobs are not going to give it respect. And that is perfectly fine and shouldn't impact anyone's enjoyment of it.

Cafe Bustelo instant coffee made with milk tastes just like a latte
by Complete-Tiger-54872 weeks ago
Yeah because instant coffee is garbage. A cheap Nespresso machine is miles better
by Anonymous2 weeks ago
There are some okay ones
by Anonymous2 weeks ago
It has its own unique flavor. I don't hate it. I keep instant decaf around in the off chance I crave a hot cup of something and I can't risk more caffeine.

Yuck I'm far from bougie but instant coffee is an abomination

Honestly when regular coffee is bad it's much worse than instant coffee. Likewise when things are good regular coffee comes out ahead.
by joan632 weeks ago
You just have terrible taste. Coffee is one of those things like cheese, wine and bread where the quality noticeably improves if you spend more money.
by terrellshields2 weeks ago
Anyone with a functioning mouth hole can taste the difference. EASILY. some Neanderthals just don't care what they are tasting.
by Anonymous2 weeks ago
Any instant coffee bought in a regular store tastes terrible compared to basically any non-instant coffee. I dont even know anyone who dares to drink it without added milk and sugar to mask the flavour.
by SeatThis14122 weeks ago
It's not that it's not worse it's just also shouldn't be shamed
by Dry_Assist54802 weeks ago
And how much cream/sugar are you adding?
by No_Job2 weeks ago
Brewed or instant, it's all the same to me.

Buying pre roasted beans and grinding them yourself is the single most important thing you can do to up your coffee game. This is just a wrong opinion.

I've tried a dozen different instant coffee brands and they all smell the same to me. Something about the freeze drying process effects the smell.
