it's fine. and I can have it hot or cold, and using it as an ingredient in anything else is a cinch.
I can enjoy a nice cup of specialist coffee, and have some decent equipment for making it - but I am also lazy in the mornings, and as a student I got used to the taste of the cheapest instant coffee, so that is what I drink the most. It is actually an acquired taste, I hated it the first time I had it.
