Best instant coffee?

**shaveice** · May 6th, 2009, 03:30 AM

you guys always come up with great suggestions so i wondered if anyone felt strongly about a particular brand of instant coffee. granted, it's a subjective opinion but that's okay. i'll give it a try.

thanks.

A French Press...

....and I'm not joking.

You can find a individual size for $10-15, you add a scoop or two of regular coffee fill with boiling water, let it set for a minute put the plunger in and pour into you cup and enjoy.

There is no such thing as "best" instant coffee! Coffee & instant shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence.

I would agree with Ninja on a French Press - great REAL coffee, in just a couple minutes, without a cord! You can use it anyplace you can get hot water.

Anapuni said it about all for me - I'm 100% on board with this.
I also have a 1-cup drip coffee device: 1 scoop in the bottom (filter) part, hothot water in the top, 1-minute to coffee - REAL coffee.

The Racing Spoon

Used to be carried around our necks when I was in the armed forces. As other people will tell you if they are brothers in arms. It's not all action ! A lot of the time is spent sitting 'round waiting.
It was taken for granted in the marines that you could have a few sips (with your racing spoon) of whatever was on the go.

Coffee, Stew, Curry 'n rice > The list goes on,,,,, as far as an airoplane hanger full of troops. Still got that spoon

And it's a treasure hanging up next to my dog tags.

Love the Kona sent by mates in Hawii but to make it go further,,,,, I add some Nescafe,

Sorry I am not a coffe fan. I was married to some who had to have her 2 cups of coffee when she fisr got up. Yes forget the sex. And also her one cup of coffee when before she went to bed.

O.K. I know I should read the whole thread but I'm on a short "leash". The
french press is exquisite and is fabulous when there is no power (if you have a stove or gas grill with a burner). We keep coffee ground on hand for just
such emergencies. But also we like to brew this method during normal times as well. Great suggestion!
