I love how you can win a barista championship using very special specialty coffee and still enjoy instant. Wonderful palate.

when i was a kid, i'd sprinkle some of my grandpas instant coffee onto ice cream.

My Grandma only drank Folgers crystals - 2 spoonfuls (everyone knew which spoon), hot water and a splash of milk while smoking a pack of Virginia slims and reading an Harlequin Romance novel.

My husband isn't a huge coffee person, but I made him a dalgona coffee with your brown sugar cinnamon syrup and it is his favorite coffee drink!! It's such a great quick and easy but delicious cup of coffee! Also I love to whip the milk as well so it's super frothy

Me: pouring the big latte glass into the small espresso container and flooding the kitchen

I'm shocked you didn't mention the cold water trick.
A trick I learned ages ago to make instant coffee (whatever was available/nothing high-end) taste more pleasant is to measure your instant coffee granules into your drinking vessel, and then dissolve them into a tiny bit of cold water in the bottom of the cup before adding in hot water to your desired concentration. Dissolving it in cold water first seemed to mitigate a lot of the harsher unpleasant flavors associated with Nescafe, for example.

Granulated instant coffee is a life-saver for my morning commutes. Using a standard "Dalgona" base recipe, I found that cold frothing oat milk with vanilla syrup and combining them together with the dalgona make a cloud of deliciousness that normal milk just can't compete with!

I... primarily drink instant coffee. Anthony's Organic is so good and i get more chocolate notes than i do with most other coffee. Korean instant coffee brand Maxim is also absolutely fantastic.

Me after buying a coffee pot and trying various coffee brands - still going back to the tried and true Cafe Bustelo

Something that has improved my experience with instant coffee is letting the coffee dissolve in a bit of cold water before pouring hot on top. Reduces a lot of the bitterness for me! Not sure why.

My first experience with instant coffee was a Jello brand cookbook recipe for a dessert using Dream Whip, a powdered whip topping package, a box of pudding mix and instant coffee. It made a bouncy and fluffy coffee dessert that was loved by my entire family. I was always happy to see when my Dad would buy the very specific ingredients and leave them on the counter in a group as an unspoken request for more ❤

I loved coffee yogurt as a child, but I haven't seen it anywhere in a long time now. Where I live, at least. So now I buy plain yogurt and put decaf instant coffee powder in it with some vanilla and sweetener, and it tastes just like when I was a kid.

if you ever back anything with chocolate, add a little instant coffee. just a little. you wont taste it, but it enhances the flavor amazingly :D

Before I finish watching this, I’ll say i make my coffee by putting instant coffee in milk and microwave until it’s about to boil, then I stir and drink. I’ve been watching this channel for a while and this is finally a video that I can maybe try 😂

@MichailDimDrakomathioulakis 2 years ago

This third recipe you've shown is essentially how the Greek frappé coffee is made! The technique of mixing the instant coffee (originally "Nescafé classic", now whatever brand one prefers or is available) with cold water is exactly the same (although originally a cocktail shaker was used). The difference is that sugar and milk are optional, i.e. to one's taste. However, if sugar is used, then it's mixed at the first stage, exactly as seen in your video.
