This method of making coffee is very handy. I make this when I’m late to work or excessively feeling lazy (which is most days).
The simplicity of this method cannot be underestimated. While making espresso or brewing from a Moka takes time and energy and also maintenance like cleaning the equipment.
And we all fall behind in other activities of our lives that many of us for one reason or another just don’t have the time, money, or resources to make coffee every day.
That’s why unlike most coffee enthusiasts I recommend people to try out instant coffee and it’s most accessible and economical, at least in the beginning.
So go ahead and make a great cup of coffee using instant coffee!
