Are you guilty of using instant?

Been there, done that!
Yea, there are many instances of using instants. For one there was that time when Americans were caught up in the instant coffee period. Ads were everywhere claiming instant coffee was easy and as good as percolated.
Of course this was not true exactly. Then later on the freeze-dry method made coffee taste more like fresh brewed, of course, until they tried it in a drip coffee maker. The truth be told, nobody was fooled. There are many among us today who still resort to instant. There seems to be a divide in our country between those who brew their own and those who use those coffee singles in a microwaved cup of water. Oh I get it. I think the term is LAZY.

Maybe for other people the term is not being Lazy but so busy that they cant afford to wait for it. Others is just about a preferred taste. But I know for sure that a true coffee lover would always prefer their coffees to be brewed.

I used to just go to work and drink theirs. That was even faster than making instant. lol. But then when time came to contribute I was in the employee break room drinking coffee with a donut stuck in my mouth. They knew It would be my turn next to pay for the next bag of beans.

Spam is good. I like it fried with mustard in a sandwich or breaded on the plate with some veggies. It's okay to eat Spam. But it is kind of salty.

@SIMPLYD Well, I have strange tastes. Many things I eat don't appeal to others like shrooms on my pizza or dark lagers.

in some parts of the world, like ours, instant coffee is the norm, same with powdered milk. that's why there's a thermos of hot water in the kitchen.

No because I cant.
Somehow instant anything (excpet for Lipton chicken noodle soup) does not agree with me.

They make a good powdered onion soup that can be mixed in with either cream cheese as a dip for chips or mixing in with sour cream for the same purpose. I think Lipton makes the instant soup mix and it comes with 2 individual packs. It takes less than half a pack to make a dip and a little goes a long way.

I like instant coffee because I can make it as strong as I like. Sometimes when I use a coffee maker, the coffee ends up being too strong.

I seldom drink coffee, but occasionally I will do instant for flavoring in a milkshake or coffee drink.

That works. I like it when I can find some Carnation brand powdered malted to sprinkle on the ice cream or mix in my chocolate shake. It gives the milk shake or ice cream an added bit of flavor. Reminds me of the old days when a milk shake was otherwise called a malted milk shake. Yum.

I do use the instant coffee-but not because it is faster. Just because I don't want to waste a whole pot of coffee when I only want a cup or two. I don't have the money for a keurig so instant is the way to go without being wasteful.
But I do enjoy the fresh coffee taste much better.

I'm not a fan of instant coffee. Once I got a sample Starbucks instant coffee packet in my cereal box (whatever happened to fun prizes). The coffee it made was tolerable, but not good enough to make me buy a full package.
