I don't care for coffee, nor does anyone in my family.  I have many friends who love coffee (decaf).  I don't own any type of coffee pot and wouldn't even know how to make a pot of coffee if I had one.

 

Are there any good instant coffees out there that I could offer my gourmet coffee friends ?  (They all have Kureigs or grind their own).  

 

Holidays coming up soon - suggestions appreciated.

Starbucks makes single serve packets...House Blend Medium.   Pretty tasty...good in a pinch and the single serve packet portions are convenient!

My suggestion to you is to go to a box store and buy an inexpensive (less than $20.00) coffee maker and keep it and a can of coffee on hand.

 

I have a can of decaf coffee for any guests that might drink it.

No instant coffees will work. Just buy a small drip maker, whatever filters that maker requires, and a can of decent decaf coffee.

Having had instant coffee many years ago I never thought it could compare to brewed.  But was I surprised that when Starbucks came out with their Via packs I thought they made as good of a cup of coffee as brewed.  That could be a good option for your guests as you can make one cup as needed with boiling water.

I'm a coffee drinker.

 

My MIL (bless her) used to keep nice instant coffee on hand for my visits, and those of her coffee drinking friends. 

 

She called it "Stir Coffee" still didn't make it taste decent, nice try.

You can  buy a cheap coffee pot - Kohl's has some for $19.99.  You can buy a small can of coffee and make it when you need it.  

 

Dunkin Donuts and Panera sell coffee in a box.  You can buy that if you're having guests.   I don't know How many cups are in the box.

The cursor goes under the bar on the left hand side - in case you were wondering.
