Your technique for protecting the coffee and its flavor is appreciated. You really do produce some fine, helpful vids. Thank you! I’ve been using instant the last couple years. The hassle required and the clean-up with ground coffee, especially if one begins with beans, is a deal breaker for me. Cost vs. reward calculation. I’d rather expend time and effort on preparing other food.
Thank you! I am also a big fan of Keurig machines, with the little pods. Virtually zero cleanup, and you get coffee in about 90 seconds. Hundreds of different varieties of coffee available. I like organic Guatemalan coffee pods from Aldi. That's my every day coffee.
Not controversial to me. I've drank nothing but instant coffee for 11 years. What few times I've had regular ground coffee it doesn't taste right to me because I've been drinking instant for so long. So I can see why people who have drank ground all their life say instant doesn't taste right to them. It's all about what you're used to
Interesting, I guess I could also put my creamer or my milk + sugar into my coffee when it's dissolving with cold water, to further improve my instant coffee.
I love nescafe Columbian, it tastes better than any k-pods in my Keurig, to be honest. That shocked me! We don't all have the money to spring for fancy electric "tea kettle" and I've been using a real tea kettle on the stove. Somehow I knew intuitively to not use full boiling temp water; I pour some in the cup to give a preheated blast to my mug, wait very briefly and then pour out, then add coffee and pour hot water from kettle. Don't know the temp exactly but as the coffee is so good I've stopped using my Keurig or making por over Melita version it must be right on the money because it's delicious! Can't believe it's that good! I am forever grateful to my neighbor for turning me on to it through his ranting about how good it was. I'm a coffee snob from age 18 when I moved to SF and experienced real Italian expresso in corner mom and pop coffee shops so I challenged him to make me a cup and prove it. Couldn't believe how smooth, rich, and flavorful each swallow was. The next day I bought some and am still in love with it. They also sell Brazilian but I don't like it. Am going to try the original nescafe tomorrow as my neighbor gave me a third of a jar he had left; will be interesting experiment! Happy caffeination fellow coffee lovers!!
I’ve been looking for a good method to make instant while on hikes and backpacking. This is the second video I’ve seen creating a thermal buffer. I’ll have to work on the ratios of cold to hot and total water to crystals as that isn’t included here. Especially for a black coffee.
Cold water = just enough to disolve it. Hot water mix = Usually 1 tsp of coffee per 6oz of water. If you like it strong, you can add a little more coffee.
As a lover of coffee, I don't really turn my nose up to instant stuff. Sure, I know fresh, ground coffee is superior, but sometimes when I need a hit of caffeine, instant coffee is always there. Personally, I prefer Nescafe Gold Alta Rica/ Nescafe Espresso or Douwe Egberts Pure Indulgence (Dark Roast).
Yes, I always look forward to a nice espresso with fresh ground beans every day. Or the mokka pot, or an Aeropress coffee. But I always have a coffee kit in my car with instant coffee for those days where I don't have the time to make a proper coffee and i'm on the run.
I had to come back and comment on this…. Followed your advice and sure enough, turned out great! I’m stunned how well that worked. Perfect cup Of coffee. Thank you!
I'm NOT a big fan of using bottled water since the bottles are bad for the earth, but I'm going to try this using water I save from our dehumidifier as a type of distilled water.
I do the exact same thing and just pour it into a cup full of ice. Depends how you like your iced coffee. If you like it like a thick, sweet milkshake, then you'd have to add extra stuff to it. But I like it simple - just coffee over ice.
Let's face it... it you add ANY additional ingredients to your coffee, it's now dessert. I'm not looking for dessert when I drink coffee. I drink my coffee black and prefer that to ANY other coffee. So I think, for me, the method of adding cold water at the beginning may help and bee all I need to get a decent cup of instant coffee.

Controversial, I know, but I prefer instant to fresh

Me too 💖
I like Nescafe instant.
I drink instant coffee every day but I have no problems with fresh coffee.
Please tell us how you make your instant coffee. That would be very helpful.
Im in a hotel in Japan where the option in my room is instant or tea. Thanks for the help.
How did you go? Was it good 😮
But you put sugar in it ahh
Interesting will try but without sugar.
When I am avoiding carbs or sugar, I use Monfruit sweetener (Erythritol). It tastes just like sugar.
Interesting, I guess I could also put my creamer or my milk + sugar into my coffee when it's dissolving with cold water, to further improve my instant coffee.
Yes, you could do that too.
This makes so much sense. I always felt my instant coffee tastes burnt but never could pin point why

I like the ease of instant coffee. I will try your method tomorrow morning. Great tips.
did it taste better?
Thanks for the tips, I drink both brew and instant. Thanks for the tips about boiling fresh water instead of reheating the water.
That is so interesting about the temperature of the water.
I’m going to try this.
It makes so much sense!

Can you wash the tea pot?
Thank you. Will try that ... the slurping trick might be optional 😊
Slurping is essential to the experience!

Of coffee. Thank you!
☕️grazie! Good tips😊
Super thanks. Good idea looks good!
Excellent video! Thank you!
Great idea I'll try it
I’ve seen the Tasters Choice Colombian but never the Nescafé Colombian. I’ll try and find it.
Intresting. I alwaya suspected tap water
Wher can i find that coffee pot?
It's this one. But they don't have it in white anymore. amzn.to/48az46S
Walmart
How about making iced coffee ???
Good suggestion! I'll do that. Please make sure you're subscribed so that you are notified when I put up the new video.
I'm NOT a big fan of using bottled water since the bottles are bad for the earth, but I'm going to try this using water I save from our dehumidifier as a type of distilled water.
Your dehumidifier probably has your own sweat and possibly mold. I would not use dehumidifier water to make coffee. My two-cents.
@@FoodChainTV yeah I was thinking it should be boiled....but at least it doesn't have gunk from the pipes or ground water
Good advice, thanks.
How would you prepare it for ice coffee?
I do the exact same thing and just pour it into a cup full of ice. Depends how you like your iced coffee. If you like it like a thick, sweet milkshake, then you'd have to add extra stuff to it. But I like it simple - just coffee over ice.
Nice, I thought you needed a little hot water to mix things. Will try all cold water later. Thank you
If I have to do all that, I might as well brew a pot.
Let's face it... it you add ANY additional ingredients to your coffee, it's now dessert. I'm not looking for dessert when I drink coffee. I drink my coffee black and prefer that to ANY other coffee. So I think, for me, the method of adding cold water at the beginning may help and bee all I need to get a decent cup of instant coffee.
We are the only country that doesn't prefer instant. Instant is best in IMO.
"Always make yourself some fresh water" 😅
I got motion sick. Geez
all of sudden instant coffee isn't instant.
Like coffee pot .
all that sugar, yikes, I and half the population don't have sugar in coffee, will see how this turns out leaving out the sugar.
Sugar 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Creamer 😂😂 😂😂😂😂
Nescafe sucks 🏀⚽😂
