How do you TAKE IT ???  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758) 3 years ago

Many of us take it different ways, and that's good for everyone as we are different to our needs.

INSTANT COFFEE, out of the Tin or Bottle, how do you make your coffee.
Now for me I spoon the coffee in and the sugar then the hot water then add milk, well that's the everyday coffee, we wont go to the fancy stuff we make. but just the plain coffee.

Some say that in me doing that I cook the coffee for the second time, in this makes it bitter, where as others,

Spoon the coffee in and sugar and then add the cold milk, so as to when they add the hot water it will not re roast the coffee.

Now for me I am unsure about this, in some ways it makes sense and in others may only be an old mothers tale.

So lets know how you make yours and if you can tell me why you do it this way.

Tell me HOW YOU TAKE IT.

Hi Hiccup,

How are you today? and hope that you are doing great. Good topics
you have selected here and also I am always like to use the instant
coffee, because the individual packs itself have everything on it
and no need to go for everything from the bottles to bottles, so it
is really save our time and also we would be very happy to save our time
and also would be very faster to drink our coffee in a second. So I liked
the Instant coffee and used to have at my office as well as in the home.

Have a great day.

Hi Hic, I hope you realise this discussion could break out into war. I did a coffee one the other day and as I don't like instant coffee was deemed pompous. Now amazingly just a couple of days later I still don't like instant coffee so don't make it at all as there would be no point at all as I don't like it and thus wouldn't drink it.happy

I think I will be a casualty if this war ever breaks out! doh
Yet, I will put in the same response...


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  3 years ago

What I was looking for was does putting hot water in onto top of the coffee cook it again or if you put the milk in first does that stop that second cook of the coffee.

Seeing it is roasted coffee, how does the heat go with it does it roast it again.

Hi hiccup.
Although I've always loved the smell of coffee, as I smell it everytime I go into coffee shops to get some pastries, I am new to the drinking part of it. The caffeine in the diet coke I drink all the time have lost its power. Now, when I want coffee, I just drive through and order one with 2 creams and 2 sugar. I have no idea how they prepare it.

See thea, same response...

When I am at home I usually make a whole pot of coffee which will give me 4 good size mugs of coffee. I buy the ground coffee, usually whatever is on sale. O use a stove top perculator and I do not care for those drip coffee makers suc as Mr. Coffee. As a matter of fact I think I will make a pot of coffee very soon/ I like to drink my coffee black but sometimes if I am in a restaurant I will put one of those flavored creamers in with my coffee, last week I had hazelnut. It was pretty good.


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  3 years ago

Seems very few make or drink instant coffee.

myLot reputation of 98/100. muscles4me (11361)  3 years ago

I will ocassionally have a cup of instant if I am getting ready to go someplace real soon and I only want one cup. But I prefer to perk it because not only does it taste so much better but it smells so good.

Maggiepie likes a cuppa Joe in the morning when I get there.

I measure the water and nuke it while I measure the instant coffee and equal into the cup and then add the hot water - she doesn't like milk.

I don't like instant coffee, I will get brewed stuff at my mom's, first I add the Splenda, then a bit of coffee to mix it, then the milk - half and half actually - and then finish filling the cup - then I don't have to stir it because its all mixed all ready! A bit of a production, but I'm not adding a stir straw to the landfill... I'd rather not use the little diary creamers either, but that's about what you have to do to have a safe way to have a large number of people getting coffee.


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  3 years ago

Not many seem to drink instant coffee anymore

myLot reputation of 99/100. ElicBxn (24688)  3 years ago

Maggie calls ME a coffee snob, but really, I just find the instant doesn't taste like what I call coffee - more burnt - there are many who are much more "snobs" about coffee than I am

I much prefer freshly ground beans and made in an espresso machine, but I do drink instant.

I use Robert Timms premium blend (the strongest instant). I drop two heaped teaspoons into a mug, plus 1 teaspoon finely minced fresh ginger (definitely no sugar) and add hot water and a little milk.

If adding boiling water is wrong, how come espresso machines make coffee by forcing boiling water through the grounds?


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  3 years ago

That's a point with the steam going through the coffee beans.

I have never had coffee with ginger in it so far there has been a few who do this here, I like ginger.

I only buy Australian Ginger,
For very good reason, some years back not many, we grew 80% of the Worlds ginger, much went to Asian nations to be processed, then they would pack it and ship it everywhere as Asian Ginger, when in fact it was Australian grown.

So I buy Australian Ginger grown and packed in Australia,

I'm not one eyed on this,

But back to the coffee with ginger I will try that as I love ginger.

Hiccup - Ginger is the healthiest food and the tastiest, changing any common old food into a luxury. Try ginger (never, never, never ground ginger, but fresh, minced ginger) in PORRIDGE, CUSTARD, Milo or hot choc, any stir fry, all veges, all meats, cold water (makes water GREAT!), hot water (great for sore throats, colds, and is very delicious) ice cream, rice, cakes, pancakes - you name it! Porridge and custard become a whole new sensation. I hardly cook anything without ginger.

I like fresh minced ginger, but use so much of it that for convenience I also keep jars of CONTINENTAL minced ginger, which I like to use for coffee and hot choc. The other brands have additives and don't taste like ginger.

Try the Asian food shops and see if you can get Indonesian ginger drink. No, I do NOT mean ginger tea. The Indonesian drink is just minced, dried ginger with added sugar. The one I have is Jahe Wangi - and it is GREAT!


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  3 years ago

I like Ginger, but I have not done that, I will try what you say.
Sounds very good to me.

Wow, cloudwatcher. That is an interesting tip. I will try this. So far I used ginger in tea. In fact, I used to add many things in tea - nowadays we get it ready made with all those ingredients. :) But coming back to coffee. I will definitely use ginger tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.


myLot reputation of 95/100. cloudwatcher (4168)  3 years ago

Hi Hic. Thanks for an interesting discussion and for the best response.

I hope you've tried a ginger drink and enjoyed it.

Since coffee is not our main drink here. So a cup of instant coffee will be good enough for me. I can't tell the quality of good coffee anyway:) I think it is very convenient and I think instant coffee tastes well in my opinion. All I have to do is just to pour hot water and then mix it. And a cup of coffee will be ready.

I love Chinathumbupthumbupthumbup

I do near the same, but I like good coffee also.

Hi hiccup. I take mines, instantly. I like to make mines by the coffee maker. I will use the coffee pad. Let it heat up until the coffee starts to show in the coffee maker. Then after it is done, I will put it in a mug and put sugar in it. I may use up to 4 tablespoons of sugar. Then I will put lite cream in it and stir it all up togehappyther. And Volia' there you have it, my own personal coffee!


myLot reputation of 86/100. hiccup (8758)  3 years ago

I have a coffee maker but I dont use it much.

Maybe I should go back to brewing some coffee.
