I just can't stand the smell of Coffee or the taste of it.

I like tea however I only drink one cup a day, but I like it more than sticking coffee.

Really fresh coffee has anti-oxidants, and instant seems to have anti-flavorants... I do waste alot o money on the good stuff, ...maybe if I drank instant, I'd quit coffee altogether! ...but coffee makes me so happy!^)

Really fresh coffee may have antioxidants, but nowhere near as many as even day-old tea. Green tea is best but even black tea has health benefits in this area, if any.

Oh, my, a cup of hot fresh brewed coffee is one of my greatest pleasures. I have made coffee-flavored Liqueur with instant coffee. That's the only time I fool with instant.

I have had it with this thread. It's time to shut it down. Instant coffee was invented by people who hate the real thing. It stinks. End of story. End of rant. End of thread.

You been drinking too much coffee, Misophist? Feel better now after your rant?

I love the real thing - but I still think it's a fun thread!

Maggie drinks real coffee with Baileys instead of milk. And I make coffee ice cream with real coffee. Anything you can do with instant coffee-style-drink you can do better with coffee. You can get a better range of flavours and roasts, too.

Might I add that drinking fairly-traded coffee (discussed here some time ago, I think) is better for the planet than supporting Nestle and the like!

I don't care what it is as long as it looks and tastes vaguely like coffee! As for tea, I can tell you the exact date and time of my last cup! It was 1st April 1998, at 1:10am Russian time (10:10pm British time) in a country camp about 80 miles outside Moscow!
