We have a Nespresso coffee machine in our kitchen, but I do have instant every now & then.
shareA few times in a pinch
It's not good
Haven't had coffee in years.
shareYes, freeze dried at home. Drip coffee at work though... and Keurig
shareApparently Keurig is supposed to be Dutch for "excellence". It's not...
shareclose enough

Not really. It doesn't even mean "excellent". The name Keurig creates the image of a well-dressed coffee machine that cleans up after itself. This is Madonna's "I'm Sorry" all over again.😫
shareSo what does the word mean ?
shareIt mostly means neat or tidy. In a different context it can have a slightly different meaning as mentioned in the link. The only example I can think of that comes closest to "excellent" is "Keurig gedaan", which means "Well done".
sharethe machine is neat and tidy that i can verify.
shareSo it does clean up after itself???
sharethis is no mess except for the cup and the pod is not recyclable.

Okay, then I take back all I said. It really IS "keurig".
shareWhat I don't like about Keurig is, from my experience, you get a smallish cuppa joe, and if you want to linger over a long morning with coffee, you have to burn at least two of those things, maybe three. I feel guilty for wanting more than one. And I don't like the recyclable angle either, although I'm surrounded by unrecyclable stuff, so I won't get on my high-horse over it.
shareIn a world with Energy Drinks, I'm not sure why people would want to have Instant Coffee. If it's an Economics thing, I totally respect that, if IC is cheaper than Ground. I'm a Melita guy. If I used a reusable filter I'd be even closer to ideal. And grind the coffee into a reusable container, even closer.
sharei drink instant at home. i drink 'real' coffee at work.
i'm fine with instant generally. i know people get very sniffy about it, but i find its taste perfectly acceptable.
the only times i'll turn my nose up at a cup is when it's weak, & i can always control that with instant of course.
You buy a jar of Folger's Crystals, you put it in the cupboard, you forget about it. Then later on when you need it, it's there. It lasts forever. It's freeze-dried. Freeze-dried Crystals.
