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

No. I never liked Coffee.

I have a jar I bought because I wanted to make some coffee at home for a quick caffeine kick and I didn’t have a coffee maker. It does not taste good. I don’t know how much of that is actual taste difference with freshly brewed vs me knowing it is instant coffee. I’m curious how well I would notice a difference if it was a blind taste test. There was an episode of Penn & Teller BS called The Best where they served people fast food that they made up to look nice in a high class restaurant and told the customers it was gourmet. The customers would rave about it. So I know a part of how well something tastes is psychological. I’m almost surprised with the big trend towards individual gourmet coffee makers that they still sell instant. I remember as a kid my dad drinking it once in awhile but I assume it was because using a percolator took a long time. But modern coffee makers are pretty quick.

Any kind of coffee, except the crap they make at Starbucks.

It is bad. Bad and expensive. It's okay when blended into a coffee ice cream shake. Otherwise not.

I am not a fan either. Overpriced.

Yes, but at work only. Actually, it's instant espresso, which is much better than instant coffee and easy to make, too, and has so much more flavor than regular instant coffee. My job doesn't supply free coffee, and there's a "coffee club" of some people who share a coffee maker, but I don't like adhering to a schedule of when I'm supposed to make the coffee, wash the pot, etc.

btw...OP: how in the hell did you rack up almost THIRTY THOUSAND posts on this site already???
