Next step after instant coffee?

QUESTION:

I drink instant coffee. I know it is not the best but it is convenient. What would you suggest over instant?


ANSWER:

I know that instant coffee is a lot more popular in Europe than it is in North America. But coincidentally there is a lot of talk over here right now on this topic because Starbucks has just introduced its own instant coffee. Quite a change in direction!

That said, plenty of people like the idea of making the move from instant to gourmet brewed coffee.

If the convenience angle is important to you, you might want to look at one of the single serve coffee brewers. I know these are popular in Europe. In fact, the Senseo coffee pod brewers were launched in Europe before they came to the US or Canada.
