  Maybe I’m snobbish, but instant vs drip vs French press vs americano all taste different and Americano is so much better it was this or a bialetti moka express. My wife said she’d never use the stove top one and I’ve made over 10,000 espresso shots so far, so I’d wager I would have eventually caved in and bought a super automatic anyways. It may have paid for itself in electricity tbh.

    I’ve used a DeLonghi espresso machine ($100) for close to 20 years now. My first one lasted 15 years.

    It’s not perfect, but just about the best bang-for-buck on the market.

  Instant coffee tastes nothing like freshly brewed.

  Although I agree that the overcomplicated coffee machines with wasteful pods are ridiculous. Just use one of these, simple to use, portable and great coffee every time:

    Instant coffee has its uses, but it ain’t coffee.

      I keep a jar on hand for adding to certain baked goods/desserts, and I’ll throw some in my protein shake along with a little extra fiber for breakfast.

    I find a cafeteria even less work for basically the same. Just don’t use boiling water, either cool it off or use one set to 80c.

  Brewed is a bit more healthier than instant and you can support local roasters over the corporate-owned ones.

  There are tons of ways to make coffee and each tastes slightly different and some beans are better suited to be prepared in different styles. If people wanna enjoy coffee in a certain style, just let them. It’s fine that you like instant coffee but others might wanna prepare their coffee differently.

  I’m far from a coffee snob, but instant tastes awful compared to even preground prepackaged coffee
