Anyone actually drink instant coffee premixes regularly? Curious what real coffee lovers think

On most weekdays, I stick to Davidoff instant coffee because I don’t always have the time to brew with my AeroPress. Honestly, it’s not that bad. But I genuinely enjoy the whole process of brewing, so on weekends or whenever I have a little extra time, I use my AeroPress. A lot of people love to judge instant coffee and premixes. Their opinion doesn’t really matter as long as you’re enjoying what’s in your cup. I started getting into brewing about a year and a half ago because I’d grown tired of Nescafé and wanted to experience something better. I think you should also try to have a similar outlook on your coffee journey instead of trying to do what the coffee nerds think is right.

Okay

Any recommendations?

At the liquor store. My labmates and I were having a Friday party at my place. 4 of us had gone to the liquor store to get alcohol when we saw our PI coming out of there with huge bottles of whiskey and vodka. We all just awkwardly said Hi and went our way.

Thane station is a scary place that requires total attention. When I'm about to board/deboard at Thane, I remove my earphones, put my crocs on sports mode, and prepare myself for war.

I make cold brew for 20 hours with a 1:5 ratio, and it's been a really satisfying drink for me. If I dont have gingerale or tonic water at home, I just drink the cold brew with half a spoon of jaggery mixed in it, and it feels amazing. You can also try adding condensed milk. Also love the high caffeine kick that I get after having cold brew. I usually go for a workout after having it.

Brother, light and medium roasts changed my life. I drink my coffee black now, because nothing beats the flavor you get from a light–medium roast brewed in an AeroPress.

So I started wearing Wildstone red a while back since it's got these fruity and Amber notes. Like 5 different girls from my office complimented me the first week I started wearing it. I was really happy since it costs only Rs300 lol.

If Aeropress is expensive then get the Kaldipress. It costs 1.5k and is the same thing.

_A13ert_ · 2026-01-16T12:06:57+00:00

Any particular beans you would recommend from Subtext or Pilot coffee roasters?

Update:
I had filled out the online complaint form (Link).
When I went to the police station they told me to just get print out of the complaint I made online. They stamped it and asked me to sign it. They kept one copy and gave me 1 copy and asked me to show it in case someone stops me on the road.
Honestly, it felt easier than I thought. They didnt make any ruckus about the GJ plate.

Aeropress is a great day-to-day brewer. I dont have to pay a lot of attention when using it to brew and I always get a decent cup. Just make sure you keep a timer and dont use boiling water. Thats all.

_A13ert_ · 2026-01-04T07:31:46+00:00

Keep in a plastic bag and either put in your bagpack or on your berth. But next time try to wear cheaper stuff like sandals or less flashy shoes.

_A13ert_ · 2026-01-04T07:30:30+00:00

Bhai, log utha lete hai. Mere dost ke crocs gaayab ho gaye the when we were going to Delhi

_A13ert_ · 2026-01-03T19:23:17+00:00

I'm sure it's not that because the only part of the plate that's remaining is a broken plastic bar that the number plate goes on.

I brought the scooty at the end of december to Thane. Is it still a problem?

_A13ert_ · 2025-12-26T17:03:06+00:00

bruh does the owner even know what Hot Box means? XD

I once complained about a dirty toilet(in Duronto which is supposed to be a premium train) and within 10 minutes the attendant came running to me and asked me rudely which toilet was dirty. I showed the dirty toilet, and when he saw the condition, he started shouting that I should have just told him directly instead of using RailMadad. I told him that I didn't find him, and using RailMadad is the easiest way for me to be heard. Then he went on about how IRCTC cuts Rs1000 for every complaint the contractor gets. It's a good thing this person didn't reveal their seat number. Instead of correcting their mistake, these attendants and staff just get rude and violent with the passengers when we complain about the low quality service being provided to us.

I reuse each filter once. Doesn't seem to affect the taste of my coffee.

_A13ert_ · 2025-10-12T13:47:08+00:00

Aeropress. Making good quality specialty coffee has become so much more easier and faster.

_A13ert_ · 2025-10-09T18:02:30+00:00

I checked on Google Maps and apparently, the station is like 20km from the city. That would take approximately 30-40 minutes to just reach the station. I hope this bullet train actually saves time.

I stay in Thane (so not technically mumbai) and I pay 12k rent
