Which Instant Coffee?

nhn asks: "Being a caffeine-addict, I feel quite miserable not having my favourite coffee, every morning. I can't walk to Starbucks/Gloria Jeans, while I'm at work, since there is an instant coffee machine available (and I dislike filtered coffee). For the record: I hate Nescafe, it simply sucks." What must you drink, after your dreams have evaporated into the waking world? What types of coffee would you recommend to a seasoned coffee afficionado...or even your garden variety caffeine addict?

"Given:

• I'm a fulltime developer.
• I like very strong coffee, my usual cup is espresso machiato.
• My coffee-style: French, or Italian as a second choice.
• I need coffee to keep myself awake for at least 8 hours (you know how it feels like when you have to debug thousand lines of code, don't you?)
• I drink coffee first for the taste, then the caffein, not the other way around."

Re:coffee quality

Thank you for coming. That was truly helpful. Now I can try those other brands that you sugg...oh wait. You offered nothing.

Where I live, the best coffee I can buy in a coffee shop comes from Starbucks. I drink my coffee black and they have the best bean around, compared to the on-overy-block donut shops with their generic-bean swill. Granted, there is a local coffee house that makes free-trade brew that is as good or better than Starbucks, but it depends on the day.

But this is all offtopic. The article is looking for suggestions and you offered nothing but arrogance.
