In your opinion, which tastes better, and why? Instant coffee, or beans you grind?
I will only be rating answers. Thank you.

Beans that you grind yourself are by far the better tasting option.

Instant coffee by it very nature is diluted and watered down far to much for me to drink regularly, but for cooking meats and making coffee-based syrups, it's an excellent choice! :)

Instant coffee (1 tablespoon) plus Amaretto With Honey make an excellent blend for spiking up boring old whipping cream.

OOOhhh, that sounds yummy! I wonder if that will work with anything besides whipping cream?

Definitely, hands down! Fresh ground beans -- and if organic all the better for robust aroma and full bodies flavor -- too much trouble one will say, but atlas - have a husband coffee addict who will settle for nothing less and he is the one who buys, grinds, makes this wonderful morning beverage and sets it on the counter for me faithful (11 years now) every morning!! (He brings his coffee/grinder to friends when visiting not to mention, backpacking and camping) -- If one must use an instant (mega emergency) then it is the Folger dunkable bag blend that I recommend its flavor is passable and the convenience of the "tea" bag is just right! :)

I have tried many different ways. I really don't think that freshly ground beans have any more flavor than ground coffee. There is a huge difference in instant and ground coffee flavor. Years ago I would buy instant. I was the only one drinking it. Now, I don't even have a jar in my home.


myLot reputation of 90/100. margieanneart (16724)  6 years ago

I only grind mine. It seems to be fresher a longer time. I keep the beans frozen.

i think it is the instant coffee,because it is more refined and finely grinded already...

So you like instant better than fresh grind?

Maybe its me, but everytime I attempt to drink a cup of coffee made with instant, I end up leaving it unfinished. It seems so very bitter to me and leaves a terrible aftertaste in my mouth! I have even tried adding various things to make it more palatable, all to no avail. We do not grind our own beans,YET! My husband and I both love the taste of freshly ground, but have never taken the plunge and bought a grinder! His sister grinds her own and we love to visit her and have coffee! My husband is a coffee addict, consuming at least a pot a day between home and work. You never see him without a cup in his hand. Myself, I would rather have 1-2 really good cups of coffee, one in the morning and one after my evening meal! I also love hot tea!


myLot reputation of 90/100. margieanneart (16724)  6 years ago

Maybe for his or your birthday, you can get a grinder. If you both enjoy a good cup of coffee that much, it is well worth it. They are not expensive. I keep my beans in the freezer to stay fresh. I love my coffee in the mornings. Have a great day dear.


myLot reputation of 92/100. comedyaddict (369)  6 years ago

If you decide to get him a grinder make sure it is a burr grinder - it provides a much more ever grind the the sort with a blade. Its the style they use is any decent espresso bar. I picked up a cheap one from walmart for about $20... heres a link they might be helpful :)

thanks to each of you for a wonderful suggestion! Yes, my husband has a birthday coming up in March. He is so hard to shop for...and now I know what I am going to do! If you lived closer, I'd have you each over for coffee!

I have a habit of drinking Instant coffee but I do enjoy a good cup of brewed coffee from either beans or grounds.
