Send me a PM if you want advice on what to buy or how to use it. I would need to know what type of stove you have: gas, electric, induction, etc.Awesome, I will! Thanks! I'm a professional brewer but I don't drink that much alcohol nor do I really Homebrew any more but I'm obsessed with coffee and love tinkering with different methods.
NESCAFÉ Rich, double filter, instant.
NESCAFÉ Taster's Choice, instant, decaffeinated.
I've been meaning to ask someone about instant. I hear it's very popular in South America and Europe and many brands will make a great cup. I'll have to look for these.
I do enjoy them, but then again, I'm not hard to please.
My parents are from Mexico and grew up on Nescafe and drank it for many years. Then I turned them to auto drip using foldgers. Now they only like coffee that uses 100% Arabica Colombian coffee like Dunkin donuts or Eight o'clock coffee. They now consider instant disgusting and Folgers to be drinkable. Once you try the good stuff it's hard to go back.I've been meaning to ask someone about instant. I hear it's very popular in South America and Europe and many brands will make a great cup.

Yes unless a posted ROAST DATE not best before date is posted on the bag there is no way you would know before brewing. Pilot Roasters in Toronto fed ex my beans day after roast. Millions of people are happy drinking stale roasted coffee. I was very satisfied with drinking stale roasted until I tried FRESH. My roaster sells five pound bags which I purchase and put into mason jars and freeze. Properly packaged no deterioration in quality or flavour is compromised.I prescribe to the following:
I roast year round but when in a pinch I can get locally roasted coffee from my grocery store (also local)... and yes I am that guy checking the roast dates on the bag.
- Green Coffee stays fresh for years.
- Once roasted, it's best to use within 5~10 days.
- Once ground, it's best to use within 15~30 minutes.
If you like a flavored coffee that tastes fantastic and turns heads, try Seattle’s best hazelnut.
