The best instant coffees for a quick and casual morning brew

thanks to its convenience, but I didn’t become a loyal instant coffee drinker until this year . At the start of the U.S. coronavirus shutdowns, like many, I went grocery shopping, and the coffee aisle was the last leg of my trip. Scanning floor-to-ceiling shelves of K-cups and vacuum-sealed roasted goodness was too daunting with my head already buzzing with pandemic-induced angst.

At first glance, preparing coffee instantaneously as the world is slowing down may seem counterintuitive. Gathering for coffee is no longer part of our social construct, and coffee-making, much like cooking, has largely become an at-home affair. The upheaval of our daily routines means each of us has had to redefine what joy and nourishment looks like in this moment. And for me, instant coffee and its nonexistent gadgetry checks the pertinent boxes.

Perhaps it’s time to collectively expand our definition of “instant coffee,” in the way that the devastating impact of COVID-19 has forced us to expand our definition of “restaurant” to encompass non-traditional spaces like pop-ups and ghost kitchens. A proper Dalgona coffee would cease to exist were it not for instant coffee. The whipped beverage,, deftly calls attention to instant coffee’s standout feature: versatility.

There’s beauty in my morning ritual of preparing a cup of instant coffee. It begins with the harmonious clinks made by the tiny coffee granules as they tumble into my mug; the sound is softer than cereal hitting a bowl and soothes me like the perfect wind chime. Pouring over hot water prompts that familiar aroma that sashays side to side as I blow before sipping until I’m content. Afterwards, there’s little waste and exactly one dish to clean. Instant coffee is a happy ending.

Like any coffee, you may have to sample a few brands and varieties before discovering the instant coffee that honors your palate. But rest assured, the days of coffee-shaming are finally over, so everyone should feel free to proudly drink their coffee as they please .

NRA's bankruptcy case 'deserves dismissal,' NYAG lawyer says in closing argumentsNRA 'intentionally deceived' its board of directors when it filed for bankruptcy protection in January and its Chapter 11 case should be dismissed, an attorney for NY Attorney Gen. Letitia James argues. Who is Phillip Journey? Was he elected last year? Im a life member and literally in the dark. The only time I get an email or letter is when its time to vote new board members in or they want money. Ive never been sent an email or letter containing election results. As long as Trump is in touch with this Association, any Bankruptcy claims should be deemed a scam. He must have tutored them. They're not 'intentionally deceived.' They've been 'intentionally misled' for a long time, and for good reason. They are not morons. They are ultra-rich.
