Although I have a coffee maker, but sometimes I still prefer to have a cup of instant coffee because it is much more convenient. Normally I buy Nescafe but lately since I found a promotion for Maxwell House, so I tried that one. I personally like Nescafe much more because it seems the coffee tastes stronger. What is your favorite brand for instant coffee?

None, I never drink instant coffee, I do not like the taste. It takes so little time to brew a good fresh coffee.

Since I am not professional in coffee, so instant coffee is good for me, too

@youless I am Italian, we love good coffee. Instant coffee does not even smell like coffee.

You don't need a coffeemaker to have gourmet coffee, just get a "French Press" and you can have your Expresso as soon as your water boils.

I'd say the best instant coffee is kenco millicano. It's instant but does have very finely ground whole beans too so it tastes better than a normal instant. Nothing beats blue mountain real coffee though.

I don't drink coffee, although I've tasted it. I liked Folgers.

After having experience with fresh grounded coffee, I've literally given up on instant 3-in-1 coffee from Nescafe or Maxwell House. I just could not get the same fragrant and taste of a good Arabica coffee which is really much tastier and healthier. Those instant ones just have too much additives and sugar which is really quite harmful to our health. I suggest you get a "French Press" and a good Arabica grounded coffee powder of your liking and you will have your coffee just as instantaneously as the one you are having. Add fresh full cream milk or evaporated milk if you like to reduce the bitterness. Try it and you will know what I mean.

Since sometimes it is a little troublesome to use my coffee maker to make just a cup of cappuccino, so I tend to drink the instant coffee instead. I already have a set of coffee tools so that I can make professional coffee anytime, especially for the guests.

@youless I did not know Russia produce good coffee beans. Was it expensive? Anyway, I hope it was good stuff that you've bought. The best one's are usually from South America - Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica. Alternatively, there are some good ones from South Africa and China.

@artemeis I think it is just an imported product.

I like Nescafe instant coffee too. Though I like to drink black coffee, I still buy Nescafe instant coffee regularly. Sometimes black coffee are too strong, and they are more costly because you can see all the coffee powder in the bag.

@youless You can try to taste it before you add sugar and milk. The aftertaste of good coffee is unforgettable. When you add in the sugar and milk to coffee, it will disguise the real taste of the coffee.
