I’m gonna shock you Melburnians here but I like instant coffee.
I drink it everyday
Yeah I really like instant coffee and I also like Starbucks, I don’t care.
I love starbucks. The coffee is really good and they have good customer service and amenities. In the US they are so reliable and welcoming so I always look for one when I travel.
And you can stay in there (until they close down for the night), but they’re open late which I appreciate.
Love my Moccona French style
Yeah home made real coffee isn’t worth the effort. I lived on that cheap home brand stuff for a couple of years. Annoying it doesn’t seem to be around anymore, but the big jar of moccona on special are fine.
While we’re at can we laugh at the word barista and coffee artists in general? Sure, its a skill like any other, but lmao. My first part time job was in a cafe. I wasn’t a barista, just a short order cook basically. The pretentious single origin cold pressed $8 stuff for those with a pallette makes is a lot like the “vinyl revival”, it’s all fucking overpriced hipster marketing with no substance.
I always joke that my local barista works at Coles express.
There’s nothing wrong with taking pride in your work etc and being good at things but calling casual bartenders rock stars? hahahah. yeah, nah.
I’m inclined to disagree. There is definitely a difference between an espresso from a proper machine versus instant.
If push comes to shove I can tolerate instant but unwillingly.
Yeah there’s a big difference, I love good coffee, but after years of using a stovetop percolator I changed to instant after a neighbour used to make it for me and I realised it wasn’t as bad as I thought. It’s not the same and I still enjoy making real coffee when friends visit, but instant is just more convenient and cheaper. Horses for courses, I think people gatekeeping anything is annoying though.
It’s come a long way from the catering cans of International Rust that I’ve unfortunately partaken in, that’s for sure. It all depends on whether I’m drinking for pleasure or need. It is after all a drug, and if instant is my only option then I’ll gladly partake rather than go without.
I love instant coffee!!
Though the Cafe Aurora stuff I bought smells like chemicals; usually I get the homebrand stuff but they were out of stock lol
I get the big arse jar of Vittoria or Moccona when it’s half price.
They do have some great ads - https://youtu.be/w8LeCJtKjEI
I like this one https://youtu.be/97bjWCQjUm8
I’ll raise you instant decaf
Edit: It’s also generic brand
Woah. The Clayton’s of the coffee world.
I tried it and I don’t understand how it can be called coffee when it tastes like hot bad weetbix juice.
I also like instant coffee but I like drip coffee better.
Never been able to tolerate drip coffee since the offerings at the Grill Room (now the West End Cafe) at Monash. Eurrrgh.
It’s good if you make your own, have nice fresh ground beans and do not let it sit for hours. Make fresh a few times a day and it’s good. I generally buy a 4 cup size max.
get a Bru or an aeropress. I can’t stand the smell of coffee, so no machine for His Lordship but between the bru and the instapress he’s snootin’ it up.
Snootingly sipping my machine made coffee while reading this post.
Instant has its place. When I want a second coffee at work but don’t want to spend the money. The office has those instant coffee bags and they’re not bad.

Here you are on an interstate adventure and I’m yet to haul ass out of bed! How long does the trip take? Is the weather nice?

I’m definitely interested… the price is definitely an incentive!

I was gonna unwind by finishing The Bear s2 but after a hectic day, between the shock of the cold at my place and, I suspect, drying clothes in my living room with the heater on which I think messed up the humidity (or maybe there’s something going on with the reverse cycle splitty), I’ve ended up with a sinus headache/cold feeling. Great.
Then I ill advisely chose to watch the SBS doco on the Argos taskforce in Qld (that recently made the news with that childcare worker arrested with thousands of child exploitation images). It’s called The Children In The Pictures. That was a heavy watch. Not graphic or sensational but just… even seeing the very edges of the surface of the forums these people have had to infiltrate. And the kinds of words used in the posts and stuff. I need brain bleach but alas I am catless.

Rewatching Pride & Prejudice (2005) and I still stand by my opinion that Matthew Macfadyen is far more attractive as Arthur Clennam in Little Dorrit.
Agreed

Friend planned their birthday drinks at 6pm at a brewery unknowingly, booked a table. Get there, apologetic brewery owner: sorry all the soccer fans have colonised your table. Place was packed to the rafters. Owner: we’ll give you some free food and drinks I’m sorry. Us: hell yeh easy, thanks. Enjoyed last hour of game with buzzing crowd, got free food and drinks and eventually our spot. Solid W.
