It's come a long way from the catering cans of International Rust that I've unfortunately partaken in, that's for sure. It all depends on whether I'm drinking for pleasure or need. It is after all a drug, and if instant is my only option then I'll gladly partake rather than go without.

Yeah home made real coffee isn't worth the effort. I lived on that cheap home brand stuff for a couple of years. Annoying it doesn't seem to be around anymore, but the big jar of moccona on special are fine.

While we're at can we laugh at the word barista and coffee artists in general? Sure, its a skill like any other, but lmao. My first part time job was in a cafe. I wasn't a barista, just a short order cook basically. The pretentious single origin cold pressed $8 stuff for those with a pallette makes is a lot like the "vinyl revival", it's all fucking overpriced hipster marketing with no substance.

I drink it everyday

I’ll raise you instant decaf

Edit: It’s also generic brand

I love instant coffee!!

Though the Cafe Aurora stuff I bought smells like chemicals; usually I get the homebrand stuff but they were out of stock lol

Love my Moccona French style

I tried it and I don't understand how it can be called coffee when it tastes like hot bad weetbix juice.

They do have some great ads - https://youtu.be/w8LeCJtKjEI

Snootingly sipping my machine made coffee while reading this post.

Instant has its place. When I want a second coffee at work but don’t want to spend the money. The office has those instant coffee bags and they’re not bad.

Yeah I really like instant coffee and I also like Starbucks, I don't care.

I also like instant coffee but I like drip coffee better.
