Instant Gourmet Coffee

Instant gourmet coffee is a great item to have on hand to make quick cups of coffee, without having to add the extra time of grinding your own beans.  Now some coffee purists believe the freshest, and most delicious way to go, is to grind your own coffee.  Honestly, I do both.  Sometimes I love to feel the whirl of the grinder in my hands, and other times I want a quick no fuss-no muss way to enjoy coffee.

The great thing about instant gourmet coffee is there a plethora of options to buy and try on the market today.   Some popular options to try are:

  • Strabucks coffee
  • Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf
  • Nescafe
  • Taster’s Choice
  • Fireside Coffee
  • Mount Hagen Organic Instant Coffee
  • Big Train Instant
  • Wolfgang Puck Instant Coffe
Personally, I have only tried Starbucks instant coffee and I actually liked it!  When I worked, and practically lived in a cubicle for the past three years, I loved to have some instant coffee on hand.  It is also great for vacations and weekend getaways.  Many instant coffees come in small pouches that can easily be carried in purses, duffle bags and briefcases!

But this is a bit of a misconception, as good quality coffee can be found in instant format as well.

The best gourmet coffee is still brewed from freshly roasted and ground beans, rather than instant. But when you really want some coffee in a hurry, you might as well use good quality instant.

Even very expensive gourmet coffee can be found as instant. You can get instant Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee with the brand name Jablum, and it’s sold from several different Jamaican coffee sellers online. Hula Girl makes a freeze-dried instant Kona coffee from Hawaii.

In case you are not sure what is actually in instant coffee, here is a bit of information on the stuff. It’s not made with some kind of artificial chemicals or fake coffee. Instant coffee is made with actual brewed coffee. The process usually involves spraying the coffee as a fine mist into a hot air tank, where it dries almost immediately into dehydrated coffee crystals. That’s pretty much all there is to it. So instant coffee, is actually just dry pure coffee.

When using instant coffee, a couple teaspoons in a cup of hot water is all you need. Sometimes you just can’t beat the convenience of an instant coffee.
