>tasty>quick and easy>non pretentious>get shit done
>>20424917I've been on instant for so long that fresh brewed coffee tastes bad to me.
>>20424917We have a jar of Nescafe in the back of the pantry for dire coffee-related emergencies. Normally we buy whole beans but if we ever run out, we'll have the instant stuff. Better than nothing.
how does this stuff taste? i drink eight o'clock coffee from the aeropress. it's cheap and quick but i'd be willing to go cheaper and quicker if this is actually good.
>>20424917I legitimately like this shit more than drip coffee at this point
>>20424917>brand name>nescafe GOLD/>non pretentiousPick one.
>>20425209>yeah let me buy some nescafe shartfecesgenius
>>20425214If your concern is pretentiousness, you buy store brands.
THE TASTER'S HAVE CHOSEN

>>20424917For me it's Keefe
>>20424917>is better>is somehow cheaper
>>20424917
>>20425485Cos if would feel so empty without meme
>>20424917Forme it's folgers instant.
>>20425526TruthI have easily a couple thousand dollars worth of coffee shit had some instant on a business trip and that's all I drink anymore
>>20424917Grew up drinking instant coffee as for my Depression Era/Post-WWII Polish immigrant parents, it was some space age shit but once I moved out, I bought a Mr.Coffee drip coffee maker and buy whatever pre-ground coffee is on sale (Folgers, Maxwell House, etc) and make it with two tea spoons of sugar (beet sugar, Michigan here) and a tea spoon of powdered creamer.I will drink instant coffee when camping and hunting, as it's more convenient.
>>20424917It's fine for efficient caffeine delivery, but it's certainly not "tasty".
>>20426273It tastes fine
>>20426247>Polish immigrant parentsHave you tried Inka? Even the cheapest instant coffee will seem like the height of luxury.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inka_(beverage)
>>20427112Australian’s get thrown in jail for trying to defend themselves
Legit love the Starbucks instant coffee in the little tin can.
>>20427112No one says they need guns to defend themselves. But then again it's not called the Bills of Needs and they aren't called our God-given needs.
>>20424917I like Nescafe too, columbian version is great
I like to cold brew instant coffee in a carafe in my fridge, and then I warm it up in a mug in the microwave in the morning.
>>20427180What does Columbian coffee taste like?
>>20427208>What does Columbian coffee taste like?cocaine
>>20424917japanese thing :o
>>20427220A non-racist answer please
>>20427220It doesn't matter as long as it smells strong enough to throw off the drug-sniffing dogs.
>>20427224I didn’t even know japfags drink coffee wow
>>20425268>(musical spoon clinking)>Nice.
>>20427227is that a joke?
>>20427233I thought they only drank tea and soju
>>20427240When I was like 12 id go to a japanese convenience store in my neighborhood and get UCC canned coffee
>>20427262>self confessed weebGood for you faggot
I usually drink instant with my breakfast on work days. It's cheaper. But on my days off, I'll break out the beans and my grinder.
>>20427270I don't even watch anime.
>same stuff>half the price
>>20424917For me its Great Value
>>20427122I'm from the Balkans and roasted chicory root drink (or "white coffee" as we called it) is much tastier than actual coffee to me, even if it's caffeine free.
>>20424917I love instant coffee but I bought a french press to make kratom tea and I've been trying ground coffee. been getting used to it and I quite like it. Definitely going back to instant though once this bag is finished. Can't stand having to constantly clean it out.
Any tips on how to use this effectively? I've only truly made it right once but I do have a coil top stove so maybe it's a lost cause
>>20424917This works great for bakingbut its shit as coffee
>>20427278stfu weeb
as long as you get the freeze dried instant it shouldn't matter the brand. you can tell when it's freeze dried by the crystals such as this >>20427224>>20425268>>20424917notice the large chunks or crystals>>20425311>>20425462this stuff that looks like dirt is terrible. the reason is that instead of freeze drying they air roast the shit out of it, leaving only the flavor of burned beans
>>20427208It's not a super unique taste, it's just regular coffee but it's somewhat light and has no bitterness to it
>>20425038>>20425072>>20425485>>20426273>>20428657i can't taste the difference
>>20427112Watched an Australian movie from the 70s recently and almost everyone was armed. Crazy how much Australia has changed in the last 50 years.

>>20429830Boomers were coerced into giving up our rights so they could consume and go on holidays to Bangkok.I despise them with all of my being.
>>20424917For me it's hangookffee
>>20425284my mum bought this not long ago. used to be our coffee of choice for my entire life until she switched to nescaffe blend 43, which has a nicer taste. it was only after having to go back to international roast that i realised how good blend 43 is. international roast is a bit sour in comparison.
>>20428680If you can't taste the difference, then there's no reason to switch from the instant stuff. It's cheaper and more convenient. I can taste the difference so it's a trade off for me.
Jacob's Chads where you at?
>>20425072I think it tastes more sour than normal coffee.
>>20424917Less caffeine and less potassium than normal coffee.
>>20429830i mean we still have gunsgetting a license is not really that different than getting one to drive a carall it does is weed out the spergs and psychos from getting guns easily. these kinds of people are usually poor and socially awkward so they cant get their hands on them.
>>20430254dont worry anon, the entire generation hates them. youre not alone. In their defence, i guess? they didnt have internet and my dad still believes and actually vehemently defends what he sees on the news.
>>20427229Is spray-dried really that much better than freeze-dried? I've never found any spray-dried to buy.
>>20427227u wot? japs fucking love coffee, they're absolutely obsessed with itYou'll be watching a random anime and suddenly out of nowhere there'll be a scene of someone making coffee with that fucking syphon brewer thing
>>20424917Move aside, tastelets, the king is coming through
>>20424917never had instant but I'm thinking of getting it to make some frappe style drinks
>>20424917I put cocoa powder in with it \
>>20431801Not really, no.
>>20427240Yeah they drink beer in Japan too and drive cars, isn't that wild? Also soju's Korean, kid.
>>20425284international roast is just a knock off of glorious bushells classic. i mean its even gourmet.
am I doing something wrong? i only tried supermarket store brands so far and they are all undrinkable. i have to fight the desire to throw up while drinking. it has a super funky burnt plastic kinda smell and tastes super sour
>>20428659get off 4 chan faggot this is a website for heterosexuals
>>20427122I actually have Inka every night and enjoy it. It's better to think of it as an unsweetened cocoa type beverage, though, since it's really nothing like coffee.
>>20427227Stopped at a Japanese grocery in Houston one time and bought some Hello Boss coffees in a can. They were fantastic. And apparently they're bottom of the barrel stuff. But I would take it over stuff like Java Monster any day.
>>20433130i love me some canned coffee that isnt that crappy starbucks or dunkin donuts stuff
>>20424917you can also whip it into a meringue-like consistency
I usually smash one of these if I dont plan on getting an expresso from the local coffee shop. I probably should start looking into a small expresso machine for my kitchen.
>>20433153say it one more time
>>20433324I usually smash one of these if I dont plan on getting an expresso from the local coffee shop. I probably should start looking into a small expresso machine for my kitchen.
I've never had instant coffeeIs it that bad?
>>20433658You think you're being real clever, huh? Fancy yourself a bit of a big guy?
>>20433683Careful little man, you never know who you're gonna meet.
>>204336924u
>>20424917I use that in my cup of milk, it's pretty terrible as coffee.
>instant coffeeAt this point I might just drink picrel.
Let me guess, you need more?
>>20433692I want to stab that gut and watch all the bags of roids come squirting out
>>20433864>not type II
>>20433877>roids come in bags
>>20427139Americans do too.
>>20428651If it sputters it's gonna taste kinda burnt, try to boil it at not maxium heat. If it starts to sputter just remove it from the heat, run some cold water on the bottom, wipe it and put it back on. Minimum effort, comfy and good taste
Best coffee I've ever had. It's kinda pricey though.
>>20433864>sugarI need less.
>>20430576>thinking anyone except spergs should be armed Ngmi
>>20433681then why are you steveposting, grab yourself some instant bud
>>20433913Thanks anon. I used to work at a coffeeshop and can't fully emulate the taste of fresh espresso being hit over ice, but this is very close
I avoid nescafe slop if possible. They usually taste good but they just cut corners at every step of the production and the nescafe product you liked gets watered down more and more while barely tasting the same, and then you're just hooked on the brand and keep buying it even though half the ingredients are saw dust and poop.I prefer Jacobs though some Jacobs products taste like ass. Right now I have Jacobs Kronung and it's barely drinkable. Jacobs Aroma is the good shit.
>>20424917had nescafe espresso today, two sachets. it's okay
>>20424917>tastyNo>quick and easySame speed, just as easy>non pretentiousFuck off already you pretentious cunt.>get shit doneFuck off already you pretentious cunt.
>>20425331This, so you can keep the cool coffee can after
>>20424917>get shit doneno it does not
>>20425331>add chicory as filler during rationing>charge more because it's got filler in itHmmm, very interesting.
>>20427152Well, in Murrica the car-jackers have guns
>>20433130Fake Mr.Brown. Will it also give me the shits ? Because Mr. Brown does that 100% of the time.
>>20433681It makes decent iced coffee, mostly because the imperfections can't be detected by human taste-buds at that temperature.
>>20424917Gets me the shits.
>>20424917>>tastyNo>>quick and easyYes>>non pretentiousThere's faggots out there who brags about liking instant coffee like it makes them quirky>>get shit doneDebatable
>>20437504>imperfections>in burned bean waterlmao consoom harder coffee connosoyeur
>>20437493i don't recall shitting myself after drinking hello boss. and i've never had mr. brown. just bought it on a whim.
>>20424917>tastynope >quick and easyjust like getting your balls smashed with a hammer>non-pretentiousand yet instantfags always brag about how much time they save and how "you can't even taste a difference", curios>get shit doneif you meant this literally, yes it will make most people shit
>>20424917Ok mr advertiser, you got me.I bought one of theseReal coffee is getting pricy, and this is actually pretty good. It's no whole bean jamaican blue mountain, but its got a much better aroma and flavor than the great value instant coffee I've downgraded to in these trying times.
>>20438070we got another one, boys
>>20438419Nice.
>>20428651https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BfDLoIvb0w4
You're thinking of energy drinks
>>20424917>tastes like chemicals
>>20438590>the world is made up of chemicals
>>20438595Not all chemicals taste good. And ones in OP, doesn't taste good. It has that granny hair aroma.
I usually drink instant coffee but I was gifted some beans. I didn't have any equipment so I ground them in a mortar and pestle and brewed the coffee in a pot on the stove. I'm not sure if I ground them fine enough, it was alright but the coffee isn't as hot as instant because of the time it takes to brew. Brewed coffee has a more subtle flavor, I'm used to the sharp acidic flavor of instant.
>>20438750good thing im a gilf hunter
>>20424917das it mane
>>20424917love the taste of acrylamide
>>20424917What about the caffeine level? That’s equally important to taste
>>20424917>americans think having a completely normal coffee is pretentioustragic
>>20440115it's much lower
>>20431823Its not coffee its shit
i was a huge coffee junkie all my freaking life i would average 5-10 cups a day minimum and went cold turkey in november and reading this thread made me nostalgic but at the same time i started hating caffeine. what gives?
>>20440892I had to mostly quit caffeine because it put me in an agitated state that commonly led to panic attacks or at least frustration. But it is a drug, and last night I was excited about finding an empty bag of coke last night, so the urge will always be there. Just gotta know it's not worth feeling like shit for hours after
>>20424917I exclusively use instant espresso powder for my chocolate chip cookies
>>20428651I suggest a french press, add boiling water, wait 5 min and then filter the liquid with a paper filter for the best results.I always get mixed results with the moka pot and have to use the paper filter anyway.Even pour over is easier and more consistent to me.The only use I would consider the moka pot for is a more concentrated cup but maybe it also could be done with the french press?
>>20428651coil top is fine. the trick is to pre-heat the thing, then fill it with hot water, and then pull it off the heat at the right time.but for real though, for a similar brew with a lot less fuss get a vietnamese "phin" pourover
