Always glad to hear about any form of coffee being elevated. I’ll have to try some of these newer options. That being said, a quality instant being better than a folgers preground drip is a pretty low bar. It’s easier than ever to make a good pour over. There are good travel and at work options even. A good thermos also goes a long way. Personally I just don’t find myself often wishing I had some good instant coffee I could whip l up. With a small amount of planning you can usually do better.
