Should I be ashamed that I love this instant coffee mix?!


Question: I know, I know. Instant coffee is for homeless people. Still, a sample envelope came in a gift box, and it was so good I went and got a few tins.

General Foods French Vanilla Cafe. I'm not shilling for them.

Has anyone else tried this?

It's the smoothest, most non-disagreeable coffee -- sorry, "coffee" -- I've ever had.

I've never been much of a coffee drinker (for whatever odd reason, a lot of coffee-maker coffee to my tongue tastes like bitter dirt water).

In addition to your (possibly positive) comments on this brand and flavor, do you know how I can reproduce its flavor and consistency in a cheaper, non-instant-mix way? Is there any comparable flavor, method, or maker?

Thank you.

You can get french vanilla coffeemate creamer next to the milk in the store which will make your coffee delicious too, although I just drink my coffee without flavors, I have tried this once when I had a visitor and I used it all after they left it was flat out good. Try it with the bitter dirty water you make.....it will be very good.

well if you drink coffee it makes you stay awake for a long long time

Heck, no! Look, fast food used as fast food isn't so bad. Instant coffee can be good. Africana is awesome and instant is great on vanilla ice cream. Enjoy! Explain to no man!

there is nothing wrong with drinking instant coffee...that much I know... personally. the filter coffee tastes horrible and instant is much more appealing on the taste buds.

If it isn't illegal or immoral, why should you feel shame? ENJOY! (Just don't tell your coffee snob friends. LOL)

The first time my mom bought it, I loved how it was instant, creamy, and sugary already. You can get them at Wal-Mart for a cheaper price.

Kraft (the biggest food company in the U.S. ; Nestle is the biggest in the world) actually makes this. Did you know they have a buncha different flavors too? Hazelnut and even some that was out shortly because it wasn't selling as much. They are made at the Kraft Maxwell House Coffee, and there's one located in Jacksonville, FL.

dont be ashamed instant is yummy

I like it! ......double strong for sure! In South America we consume tons of instant coffee , I don't know why because most of the countries produce coffee but instant coffee is in most of the pantries down south
Just get some syrups ( all the flavors of the rainbow ) and mix and match to your palate! I love to experiment with my coffee whenever I have the chance to make a big jug at home
