do you drink instant coffee ??


No. Canada is the land of a million coffee shops.

I grind, filter and pour myself. Not very fond of espresso in general. Filtered / french pressed coffee all the way.

Yes in traveling. The cheap hotels I stay at only have a couple of coffee packets so I bring others myself. A home I don't.

reply

yep , any brand.
how do i like it? cheap, lots of it , and very hot.
all other coffee is not cheap , takes a long time and is never hot enough

If it's the only option for coffee available.

reply

Only if it's all that's available, such as at a friend's house where that friend is not a coffee drinker but keeps instant for guests.

For myself at home, I buy coffee beans, grind them myself and using a drip coffee machine.

I prefer real coffee from beans but I'm quite tolerant of instant even though it doesn't taste as good.

reply

Ha ha, I used to be one of those friends. I go through long periods of not drinking coffee, and during them didn't have anything but instant on hand for that reason. Most of my friends now don't drink coffee but I doubt I'd buy instant for guests anymore because so few people drink it.

I'm currently in a coffee phase and get a decent ground or grind it in the store, and pour-over with a filter. When I stop drinking it I'll probably keep some ground in the freezer.

reply

Only when traveling or camping and even then if it's all that's available.

sounds reasonable.

Not a coffee drinker, so no. πŸ˜‰ I tried coffee when I was just out of high school, I think. I couldn't understand how something that smelled so good could taste so vile. Just never developed a taste for it. I'll stick to tea.

reply

I thought exactly the same thing when I was a kid! It smells delicious, my parents loved it, so I tasted it and ick. Why, why did they love it so much? Eventually I did develop a taste for it, but it's an on/off thing for me. Generally I prefer tea.

I think tea is more popular than it used to be, at least here in the US. But I still get strange looks when I refuse coffee. The place I go for car service offers free coffee, the physical therapy office I went to had free coffee, and I've seen it other places, too. I've yet to find a place that offers free tea, though.

reply

Seems like it's the default beverage in the US, and has been for a long time. Before Starbucks and the rest of them, there were coffee shops, which are really restaurants!

Same here, except now I notice more places do offer tea bags along with coffee. The car dealership I go to has that.

reply

I like both

reply

Which do you drink more often?

reply

reply

Interesting. Citrus green tea is my favorite.

reply

I like green tea with anything - crackers, cheese, green olives, nuts, raisins, dried cranberries and my fav chocolate.
