Answer 1

Luzianne makes an instant chicory coffee that is pretty decent-but the only place I've gotten it was in Louisiana-it's not even on their website.

Answer 2

If all you have is instant coffee, I would have to think twice about drinking it, and would go with the tea. However, if you need the caffeine to get going, then drink the coffee. Just make it taste like candy. It can be done.

Answer 3

My mom used to drink Maxwell house instant coffee and I remember it making a swell "cafe con leche". As for a brewed coffee then you should really try a brand called Pilon or Bustelo or Alto Grande (see others below) in your coffee / espresso machine.

Answer 4

You have to get use to it.

I like Folger's classic. I heat 6oz of water in the microwave for 1 minute and 15 seconds. Using a teaspoon measure, I put one teaspoon of Folger's in the hot water, stir, and then let it sit for a few minutes before drinking it. I like mine black.

Measuring is very important.

One instant you might like is Foldger's Straight Up Cafe Latte. Follow the directions on the container. Very good.

Answer 5

If you are getting instant coffee you also get 'plastic milk' the non-creamer powder, that makes it even worse

In Britain you will visit people who have prepared a really carefully cooked gourmet style meal and then they will quite unashamadly serve instant coffee.

Answer 6

The only way I use instant coffee is when i'm making ice-coffee with milk and sugar. Other than that it is gross.
