I'm finishing my cup right now. People say it's shit but I don't mind it.
Isn't that basically what a Keurig pod is? I think more people use instant coffee now than they did before those things existed. As much as Starbucks is popular, I still think most people make their own coffee at home.

I do occasionally. I'm mindful of my caffeine intake, so if I really want a hot beverage and herbal tea doesn't cut it I can make up a light cup of coffee, or a mix of coffee and cocoa. I usually do this after I've had my coffee for the day or when I'm planning on having my regular coffee later than normal.
I do from time to time
My family does. Good old ~~Bland~~ Blend 43 Gold
I don't drink instant as my daily coffee, but I do use it for baking and cocktails. When you want coffee flavor in something without the grainy texture of coffee grinds, instant coffee is the best solution because it dissolves entirely. It's great for ice cream, frosting, coffee cake, coffee syrup, or anything else of the sort. I've also found that the quality of instant coffee has improved significantly over the years, so it does actually make a pretty decent cup of coffee in a pinch.
Can you add it to...
...coffee?
You can add the instant coffee to coffee and some powdered milk to some milk for it and then you'll have more coffee per coffee and milk per milk than anyone else
Yo dawg!
Ah yes, I love my coffee flavor coffee with a shot of espresso.
For ice cream you can also seep with whole beans and then strain. Uses a lot more beans, of course.
I do when I can't be arsed otherwise.
On a good day, I slowly simmer oat milk and water in two pans and Aeropress fresh-ground coffee to make something akin to a flat white.
Can't be arsed? Oat milk in a mug in the microwave for 1-2 min and a tablespoon of Medaglia De Oro instant espresso powder.
I do it when I'm too lazy to make espresso at home. I have some freeze dried quality coffee that mixed with oat milk or vanilla ice cream tastes really good but I also do 3in1 which is delish.
Instant coffee is becoming quite popular again thanks to tiktok. People are sharing many recipes and its big because it's very accessible and can taste good. Also people finally figuring out that there is some special prep involved like not burning the coffee etc.
I don't really get beverages elitism tbh it's all some weird nonsense we put into our water to entertain ourselves.
My flavored water is better than your flavored water.
I do when I'm in a hurry. It's not as good as the real one but gets the job done when I really need it.
At least instant coffee makes sense in an economical way: it saves steps and time. what i don't get are filter coffee machines, the coffee they make is always horrendous.
I do. I left my pour-over coffee maker at the office, so I make do with instant coffee. It's... ok, if I drown it in almond milk.
My parents in law do it.
Generally only when camping. Really like Mt. Hagen, but the canisters of Starbucks Premium Instant are decent.
My father-in-law prefers it. I have pretty good coffee here at the house, not excellent, but pretty good 2nd wave stuff. He hates it and wants Folger's crystals. I use it when backpacking. I'm not carrying beans, a grinder, and an aeropress over a mountain. Fuck that.
Drinking some right now, try medaglia d'oro Espresso Instant Coffee. I also enjoy a few other brands, it's literally pre brewed coffee and then dehydrated, you can have shitty regular coffee and shitty instant.
