Honestly pretty good. Nice taste, B-Corp Certified, vehemently independent, and it keeps me awake without feeling panicky.

      It’s the kind of coffee a barista might serve you at a corporate chain coffee shop.

        You know a coffee shoo that serves instant coffee?

          There was a trendy foamed coffee drink (“dalgona coffee”, iirc) a few years ago that as far as I know can only be made with instant.

          They do sometimes sell tins/bags of their own brand of instant coffee at Starbucks.

            Yes, but I’ve never seen one that serves it as a menu item.

      I was going to say grade 12… but there are probably a fair share of Barista PhDs in this economy.

      Slightly more expensive but can’t tell the difference, at least according to the barista alternative milks.

      I heard it’s something related about it being easier to male foam.

      They don’t drink much coffee in the UK (mostly tea), so their coffee tends to be subpar. This is marketed as Starbucks-like coffee.

        There’s lots of fantastic coffee roasters in the UK. But yeah a lot of people also drink instant (gross)

          Maybe by your standards, which is fine. But it’s still whole beans, freshly ground and steeped. Better than this:
