I will admit though, sometimes nothing hits the spot like some cheap instant and non dairy creamer though.

If you're in a big city with tons of options for gourmet coffee then cheap instant is an awful proposition. However, if you're on a multi day hiking trip through the mountains with your tent and sleeping bag, then a hot cup of instant in the morning will taste like angel juice in your mouth.
- nibbleshifter 4y agoI'm in a small city, but it has a bunch of extremely good local roasters and cafes (along with a thriving food scene). I can go get gourmet coffee easily (walking distance), or buy extremely good beans, but heck - sometimes I want absolute shit tier coffee. Its what I grew up on!

- 00kevn 4y agoYeah I saw the date before I read the article, and the thing that struck me is that specialty coffee wasn't very good. I grind at home and have a midtier home espresso machine, but I still treat myself to a local cafe espresso drink from time to time. I just can't compete with a commercial espresso machine, or experienced barista for that matter. I also think you'd be hard-pressed to find robusta served outside of a diner these days
- themadturk 4y agoYeah, even Walmart-brand instant coffee is Arabica.
