- TheSpiceIsLife 7y agoInstant coffee is a US$30+ billion global market segment, and about half of all coffee drinkers drink instant coffee. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/07/14/almost-half-of-the-world-actually-prefers-instant-coffee/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/07/14/almos...
- Ghjklov 7y agoInstant coffee can be pretty great. I like the Japanese/Korean brands like UCC and Kanu.
- vinay427 7y agoYes. That doesn't make it a substitute for the real thing. I either use a full ceramic burr grinder and Aeropress setup with some recently-roasted single-origin beans OR instant coffee if I only have a few minutes before I have to leave the house in the morning, in which case I do the full brew later in the day. I don't see them as sustainable substitutes any more than tea and coffee are substitutes.
- praptak 7y agoYeah, it's more like beer vs wine. Not really substitutes except in the narrow sense of delivering the active ingredient.
- zokula 7y agoInstant coffee is the real stuff.
- petre 7y agoNot really. Tea is oxydized in pans or with steam, cured, aged etc.
