        There are also some really good roasters making their own instant.

        I don’t use the aeropress at work anymore. It’s still better than instant, but not having to worry about getting interrupted mid brew is worth the small loss in taste.

          Do you have any recommendations for instant coffee available for purchase online? We’ve just been getting whatever is cheap but I’d be interested in exploring other options.

          Yeah so the directions for every instant coffee I’ve tried say to add hot water to the coffee, which is logical but tastes like ass.

          If you instead add just a little bit of cold milk first to rehydrate the crystals (or whatever they are) and then add your hot water, you get a respectable if not outright good cup of coffee.

          You could probably do it with cold water instead of milk if you prefer black coffee but I haven’t tried that.
