I’m a plunger coffee drinker but if I have to drink instant it’s a rounded teaspoon of Moccona 5 and the water heated till the bubbles just start to hit the surface - black, no sugar.
Ugh. I don’t drink it.
2 teaspoons of Nescafe Gold, 1 of sugar and about 1/3 of milk stirred together and then add the water. Adding the milk first makes it taste much better
Instant coffee? If that’s all there is, I’ll just have green tea thanks. No green tea? er…weak black tea thanks… as the Americans would say: YMMV.
Love this
We have an espresso coffee machine & moka pot and have recently developed a preference for instant coffee.
Mug
2 heaped teaspoons coffee
Cold water - enough to dissolve the coffee
3/4 cup water boiled in microwave (don’t own a kettle)
Pour over coffee and stir
1/2 cup reduced fat milk warmed in microwave
Pour into mug with coffee and stir
Enjoy!
Why not? I find good quality freeze dried ‘instant’ coffee superior to a lot of the swill coming out of coffee making machine pods. Or plunger stuff.
We use UHT for emergencies only, if we can get to supermarket. Usually mixed with the last of the regular milk. Pour the whole litre into a 2 litre carton of milk with up to a litre of milk still in it. You can still taste it but nowhere near as bad.
As for coffee, Moccona, slightly heaped teaspoon, no sugar, maybe about 4 tablespoons or so of milk for me. I like hot coffee. My spouse has much more milk (about 1/3 in whatever cup he’s using (Usually a mug) but hus work means he likes “drinkable” temperature in case he has to rush out in an emergency.
