Instant coffee vs Freshly brewed drip coffee

[PearlSoap]

I bought a coffee machine recently but the problem I have with it is that I HATE the taste. Can I go back to instant coffee but enjoy the same HEALTH benefits as freshly brewed coffee?

bro coffee is proven to be choc-a-bloc full of antixoxidants AND it lowers risk of type II diabetes (ongoing studies on this as we speak).

Not sure what you meant by your comment, but yeah.

In comparison to calorie restriction and exercise, coffee doesn't even come close to making a difference.


Don worry bout it

We just can't believe you prefer instant to drip.

i prefer instant.... drip has a filter, which takes out some of those antioxidants, and the fat and fiber of coffee.... the amounts are miniscule but thats where the flavor is at!

I'm just surprised he was able to make a forum response without linking it to trans fats. I'm sure he's working on that response as we speak.

This forum has become so rife with sarcasm and trolls that it becomes impossible to get a straight serious answer. Thanks anyway guys

[SOJA]

Try a french press. It tastes better than drip.

Actually Trader Joes 100% Colombian instant is pretty good.

[almightyares]

Instant coffee was shown to have the same effects as filtered coffee does against type II diabetes, if that tells you anything.

Instant coffee is good, when I dont have enough time, I use instant, and I like it.

Thanks bro, instant it is!

The fact that you prefer instant coffee invalidates your opinion and tastes on everything from now on.

Hate to say it, but I used to prefer instant too.
The old lady bought a coffee machine that when programmed to go off at a certain time grinds the beans, drops em in the filter, and brews. What a difference.

Coffee = Good


Instant, brewed, drip, french

Strongly disagree. Instant coffee tastes like sh*t. Nescafe is only bearable.

Kona and Jamaican Blue Mountain out of a French press are wonderful.

For drip coffee Chock Full o' Nuts regular and New York Roast.

Try Eight O'Clock brand. It's cheap and was favored in a nation wide taste test.
After hearing this I got it, tastes rich and awesome, not bitter like most coffee.

Dunkin Donuts is also good.

Don't buy Starbucks, most people dislike it.

All types are different. I don't like most French Roasts, smell like body odor when you grind it, and doesn't taste much better, usually tastes burnt.

I feel what you guys are saying and that fresh coffee FOR YOU tastes better but here is my opinion

1. I like to measure how much caffiene I am having. I may just want a coffee for the taste (scenario 1). I may just want a coffee to wake me up in the morning (scenario 2). Or I may just want a coffee pre workout (scenario 3). The strength of all three scenarios are in ascending order with regards to stimulant intake. Fresh coffee is not as accurate. I don't like to play around.

2. Instant is convenient (for me). Yeah I hear you on the timer drip machines etc but for me, I just need a kettle (to boil water) and a cup to drink from. That's it. There is no worrying about timers, no washing out filters and jugs, no worrying about where to keep the ground coffee or coffee beans, if they are spoling or going bad, if they are in the fridge of freezer etc. I do not love coffee that much to make it my second baby.

3. I do not like the idea of becoming a "coffee drinker". Instant coffee for me ensures I have flexbility. With a coffee machine I will be more inclined to drink coffee more often as I would be thinking "I have invested in one, and it is so amazing (apparently) that I NEED TO USE IT!" I want to limit my tolerance to stimulants so I can drink coffee (and still get a kick from it) well into my 50-60's, God willing. Sometimes, I may just want to enjoy some black tea with milk. I like the idea of being able to nicely 'cycle off' coffee. Drinking it every single day of my life no matter what? No thank you. I do not like to become reliable on something like that.

4. Lastly, instant coffee (strangely enough) has a crisper, fresher feel to it when I drink it. My body seems to love it. I hate the tobacco look-a-like that ground coffee in a coffee machine filter looks like. I feel instant coffee is fresher and much cleaner.

So instant it is for me anyway! Dunno bout you guys!

Lulz, yeah they are doing it wrong. They would be successful if you ran it, huh?
