Hosting 40 guests next weekend - best instant coffee to buy?

[DaveSimmons]

Have some gig economy worker deliver 20 lukewarm lattes and mochas with everyone's 100-point personal recipe for whip, foam, caf, sweetener, flavoring, sprinkles, ....

Meh, if you'd settle for instant it might be an upgrade to just brew it ahead of time and reheat in the microwave when the time comes... you gotta heat the water anyway with instant.

Nespresso machine for about $200. Brews regular coffee and espresso. Easy to service and self serve.

You'll spend all your time refilling the water in the reservoir and showing people how to use it. I would just brew a pot and then brew additional pots as needed, maybe borrow a coffee machine from a friend so you have one brewing at all times. Not everyone will drink coffee so you'll probably need to brew a few pots but that would be all.

Get some decent coffee and brew it yourself. It is the simplest solution and will provide the best coffee. Have plenty of cream and sugar on hand too. I would have half & half, 2% milk and non-fat milk on hand.

I've been ordering beans from here lately. They roast them to order and ship to your home. Great coffee, I use their whole bean coffee in my espresso machine.

Seriously, freeze dried instant coffee?
You still have to heat water, how is that really any different from just brewing a decent box of real coffee.

What about just picking up a Box of Joe or 2 from Dunkin?

Nescafe Classico is quite good and it's on Amazon. Also great reviews. I drink it a few times a week

Yea, X2, I keep a bottle around in case I forget to get coffee when shopping and need a quick cup, it's not too bad but I do use close to twice the recommended amount for decent strength.

I never had much luck with that. Adding more instant seems to turn it sour. If it isn't right in the first place, more doesn't make it better imo. I like Classico ok though. I always have a jar of instant on hand, and more times than not it's Classico.

lol I do the same thing. Just about twice as much of the regulary prescribed dose of Classico per cup and it tastes acceptable.

Why not just pick up a coffee cambro at starbucks?

 

[snoopy7548]

Probably already mentioned, but just get this thing. Done and done.

Also don't forget, some will want decaf. So, either get two coffee urns or plan on brewing a pot or two or three of decaf in your home coffee maker for those who want it.

NO Decaf. Decaf is a crime against humanity!

I love my nespresso. Got mine for $100 with a frother last black friday. I saw my same machine still being sold for $200+ retail.
