This is a good instant way to make a decaf misto
I bought the decaf. My experience is that this instant coffee is low enough in caffeine and low enough in acid to work perfectly as a night-time hot beverage. 10 ounces of liquid is way too much for my tastes, I pour (by eye) about 6 ounces of Lactaid Skim Milk into a large ceramic mug, empty the packet of decaf into it and pop it right in the microwave using the “Beverage — 1 Cup” setting. I don’t even stir, and I don’t use any water. When the microwave bell chimes, in about a minute, I use one of the little battery-operated milk frother wands sold here on Amazon (I like Aerolatte, but any brand would do I think) to both stir the coffee and froth the milk a little, in one operation of a few seconds. I get something like a misto, with no thought, no effort … I don’t really take my eye off the TV (which I can see from the kitchen). Not hitting PAUSE on the remote while I spend time grinding decaf beans, pulling decaf shots, and steaming milk has saved my marriage. This technique does not quite match the taste of my full coffee ritual, but it is close and perfectly acceptable for an average night at home, very relaxing cup, very low in calories, no fat.. BTW, I don’t add any sugar, but if you do, I think you will need to stir with a real spoon … the frother does OK to stir the coffee, but it failed when I added sugar for a guest who wanted to try this idea out.

Better than most, still not good.
I travel a lot and have high coffee standards. If there’s an instant coffee that even approaches the level of a nice cup that I make at home, I want to try it. While this instant coffee does not have the horrible chemical bitterness and astringency present in most popular instant coffees, it still has that odd “instant coffee” flavor. It’s a hard flavor to describe, but you’ll know it instantly when you try it. At any rate, that is all I could taste – there were no other dominant flavor notes in this. I wouldn’t buy this again – I’d much rather haul around beans, a hand grinder, and my aeropress/travel pourover set-up than drink this. So: it’s a swing and a miss. Mostly.

One Flat Coffee Shard
I bought two flavors. First one I tried (Bronson) was great, but this one (Buena Vista) was a flat, shiny, coffee shard that was difficult to dissolve and became sticky. I called Amazon and my money was refunded (y’all better start calling instead of just letting them keep your money), but I won’t buy this from Amazon again. My guess is that maybe Amazon isnât storing it properly or something, but this is unacceptable. Verve is going to ruin their reputation if they don’t do something about this. Jus’ sayin’…

Amazing Instant Coffee
I wouldnât call myself a coffee snob, per se, but I do enjoy grinding my own beans each morning for a quality cup of coffee. When it came time to go camping this year, I really didnât want to go with the usual Starbucks instant coffee packets, so I purchased these instead. Honestly, Iâve had worse cups of coffee from a barista. This stuff tasted amazing! While it is a bit pricey on a per-cup basis, Iâd gladly pay it again for the massive step up in taste and flavor.

Wow – good stuff
I am a coffee snob but highly impressed with this – big time. It has a very smooth and buttery flavor. A tad pricy but worth it. You will still save 1 to 2 dollars per cup versus going to the local Sbucks. Give it a try!

Coffee-adjacent
I travel a ton for work, and can’t stand Keurig (or worse, those bizarre coffee tea bag situations), so I got this to see if I could do better. I haven’t tried instant coffee in years, so wasn’t sure what to expect. This taste like coffee, but …weird. Overly fruity and vegetal. I’ll probably bring it on trips with me, but won’t re-order.

Great Instant Coffee
Made a great 10 oz cup of coffee! Comes with individual packets for easy preparation or taking on the go. It is on the expensive side for instant coffee but a nice treat to make at home!
