BREWED ALONE (if you wanna go for Black Coffee) – Instant Coffee causes gastritis more than brewed.
People wearing a mask. Come on!
Best instant coffee I've ever had..AROICA COFFEE 40 in 1, unique healthy and delicious instant coffee mixed with COLLAGEN, MCT OIL and L-CARNITINE, recommended by Mickey Stotch, Youtuber
I thought this video discusses the Konigsberg theorem 😅
Both can be very good. Both can suck. Gotta know what you like and how to get it.
I honestly have to say, I have no idea how I even started drinking my morning coffee. I mean it wasn't an amazing drink at first try. But now we both seem to need it every morning… Go figure…
Instant should be as good or better. Sort of like how frozen vegetables are more "fresh". However. I try and prepare them the same way but I can tell which is instant. It would be more convenient if I couldn't tell the difference
And taste test says BS people can't taste the difference and even coffee experts who's job is just tasting coffee have problems telling them about. Especially since they have been making specialty instant coffee.
BREWED and BLACK – all the way.
Brewed coffee is Excellent due to Organic
Do not develop expensive taste. I am happy with instant coffee.
absurd, how could google know that I went back to drinking coffee two days ago!! I did not search or type anything on my phone or browser about this!🤯🤯 It is instant Nescafe coffee, i find it boring or cheap (from 8 years of brewed coffee) since it reminds me of the endless coffee in resorts/hotels.
The first one in the morning, to start the day must be a percolator. It is a ritual. During the day instant can do.
Instant is cheaper than buying beans of course. Beans, high quality ones can go up to (and even higher than) $300 a pound. If you only drink "affordable" coffee, dont be so picky
You say all that we need to know. Been far too many very many years since I drank any instant coffee. I have no meaningful experience to know how it is. High quality freshly roasted and then freshly ground and brewed; is the best.
Java Baby ! Love em both 🙂
I believe instant coffee is usually made from the cheaper, easier to harvest Robusta beans, whereas good brewed coffee is normally made from the Arabica beans, harvested from mountainsides and high altitudes resulting in a higher cost. However, you elected not to include in your video, and it would have been interesting to hear your comments on this.
It all depends on your budget and time. How much of each do you have to spare?
I would say two cups of coffee a day is an ideal consummation per day, especially during the day. I add a bit of pure cocoa with cinnamon powder in my coffee without any milk or sugar at all. More than two cups a day, caffeine will harm you in a long run, and taking it in the evening will disturb your sleep. I guess I'm a bit too health-conscious person. What do you think?
Meanwhile I'm drinking coffee while watching a video ☕️
When I was in the Army Infantry, we would take the instant coffee pack that came in our MRE's and pour and cheek it in our mouths like chewing tobacco (only we'd swallow the build up).. Letting the crystals dissolve in our mouths wasn't that bad tasting.. It tasted nasty if we took the time to heat some water and "brew" it to drink..
I had one chief cook train me that brewed coffee steeped more that five [5] minutes starts to develop the acids that could cause and/or irritate ulcers or other conditions. So remove the filter before that threshold is reached and the acids that can develop. This could be the disadvantage of French Presses, the acids that can develop.
Since I’m retired I don’t mind to spend a little bit more time to brew my coffee in the morning. I enjoy the brewed coffee more.
Brewed Vs Instant. Coffee

Brewed is ALWAYS BEST.
