Showerthought: I used to think instant coffee was just for emergencies

Three years ago, my friend in Portland gave me a jar of Japanese instant coffee. I tried it last week, just to be polite. The flavor was actually bright and clean, not burnt like the cheap stuff. It made me realize good instant exists if you look for it. Anyone know other decent instant brands?

Wait, you're putting this much thought into instant coffee? It's just hot water and powder, right? I guess if you find one that doesn't taste like burnt tires it's a win, but it's still just for when you're in a hurry.

Some of the good instant stuff is actually pretty decent now.

Bro my friend brought over this fancy instant coffee from Japan last week. It came in little bottles you just add cold water to. Tasted like actual coffee from a cafe, no joke. We were both shocked how good it was.
