  • Instant coffee is a great addition to take on your hiking, backpacking, and camping trips. It's lightweight, easy to pack, and can start your day on the right track. I tried 6 types of instant coffee to find out which one was the best. The one that came out on top definitely surprised me.

    HERE'S THE SECRET: If you want to remove some of the bitterness of instant coffee and make it more palatable, first pour a tad of COLD water into the cup and mix it with the spoonful of coffee. THEN pour in the hot water. This takes a lot of the bitterness out.

    Nescafe was always my favorite instant coffee. To me it tastes the closest to fresh brewed so it is a good substitute if you are in a hurry.

    My favorite is "Elite" but I haven't expanded my horizons much, so I'm watching these videos for another to try. Thanks for the review!

    For people who are accustom to stronger cups of coffee, I have found with instant, I have to mix it 2-3 times the prescribed mixing quantities on the label... Cafe Bustelo I find better than decent if I mix it 2.5x stronger in boiling water then allow it to cool some. But, I recall Cafe Via packets revolutionizing my coffee while mountaineering life quality back in the day.

    Thanks for the great video. I’ve never tried any of the Bustelo coffees but I thought they used robusta coffee beans and not arabica. Maybe that’s why the tea is different. Not sure since I have never tried robusta coffee.

    The ground Cafe Bustelo is actually really really quite nice so when I saw they had an instant option I was so excited but to my suprise it was so awful. I definitely recommend the ground espresso over the instant.

    Nescafe Classico is always in my cabinet for when I just need a quick cup. Add a little cold water and mix the grounds before adding the hot water. I think it makes a smoother cup.

  • @sparker7768
    @sparker7768 Рік тому +3

    Thanks for doing this so I don't have to 😄 I also take my daily, freshly ground coffee black because I enjoy the flavor. I had the exact same reaction to Folgers when I was away from home 😖; if that's all thats around, I'd opt for tea.

    • @outsidewithanna

    Best I've found so far is Nescafe Amero Americano, that's pretty good, on short trips though I still pack the Aeropress.

    Maxim is a Korean brand and is one of my favorites if you can find it. South Korea makes better instant coffee because they are a new coffee market and instant is less of a barrier of entry because you don't need to purchase some type of brewing method to try it. Jacobs is also good.

    Nothing wrong with the Nescafé clasico! I honestly drink it at home when I want something comforting - and I usually otherwise drink fancier pour over coffee

    I bought a 3 oz jar of Nescafe Clasico a few weeks ago. I used to buy bottled Ice Coffee, (I prefer iced to hot). It is almost as good as the bottled iced coffee that I used to spend seven bucks on.

    I keep a jar of Cafe Bustelo instant coffee in my office. It's alright for a quick cup of afternoon coffee. Serviceable but not great.

    Starbucks Pike Place is what you used in this test. That's their middle of the road general blend which I despise. You might try one of the other Starbucks instant packs as a potential contender. Thanks for a great video.

    The answer is a titanium French press (ultra lightweight and you get your brewed coffee on the trail)

    I use instant coffee to make coffee ice cream and use cafe bustelo bcuz it’s best smelling coffee I ever whiffed, and makes superb coffee ice cream. No coffee taste all that different from others that I can tell.

  • @OWK000
    @OWK000 Рік тому +1

    I have had Nescafe. . . If that's the best instant around, drink tea from bags. OR. You CAN make real coffee backpacking or camping. You need an Aeropress or a stainless steel french press of some kind. You can get double walled or vacuum insulated or Stanley makes the single wall Stanley Adventure All-In-One Boil + Brew French Press which is actually backpacking good because you boil water in the same pot you make the french press in and it's cheaper than the double wall french presses.

    • @outsidewithanna

    I'm furious because I just now found out that Cafe Bustelo has sugar and carbohydrates when it should be 0g. And by not having a nutrition value label on the product that literally says it all.

    How can you not pronounce Nescafe correctly? I would think on the trail the individual packets would have an advantage over even a plastic jar just in terms of packability.

    Plot twist: Fine/Espresso grounds Do Not Need To Be Filtered. They sink to the bottom of the cup.
    No need for freeze dried instant

  • @terryplunger9170
    @terryplunger9170 14 днів тому

    yeah in my opinion instant coffee takes just a tea spoon of coffee to 6 to 8 oz cup of water stir till desulved then nuke the cup add flavoring to taste and walla your done , regular coffee cost way more and you need a coffee maker and it takes up alot of time . when instant coffee taste just as good if not better just sayin
