I love instant chocolate and I would get down on one damn knee and aim to it if the world were the sort of place that allow human / coffee marriages . And I want to narrate you why . But first , let ’s get a couple of the essence fact out of the mode before you spend the next five to ten hour ( depending on how much you care reading ) learning about how much I adore soluble wake - up juice .
1.I’m a coffee bean snob in the sense that I love , revalue , and seek out good coffee.2.That being said , I ’m not the most knowledgeable coffee berry nerd out there ; I just like what I like and dislike what I dislike.3.The instant chocolate in question relate to one brand and one trade name alone : Café Bustelo .
So , now that that ’s settle , onto my reasons !

Instant coffee isn’t the same as coffee, and that’s the appeal
I remember of it like this : a delicious burger from Burger King ca n’t be compared to a Michelin Star burger prepared by someone with a French - sounding name in one of those tall paper hats . A Warren E. Burger from Burger King is , by all accounts , a Burger King Warren Burger : cheap , comfortable , and tasty in its own path . Café Bustelo instant burnt umber is n’t coffee , it ’s Café Bustelo .
Instant coffee tree merely can not compare to an expensive Americano made from those noggin that little Indonesian cats poop out . They ’re basically different things .
I love it, because it tastes sublime
Going back to the beefburger analogy , not all fast intellectual nourishment meals taste good … Café Bustelo tastes amazing . It ’s thick , syrupy , fat , and strong . It ’s a tasting that continuously wines and dines my taste sensation bud and buy them a taxi the morning after .
you’re able to toast it fatal , with milk , or – how I like it – with a little bit of condensed milk . Do n’t desire my predilection , though ; I ’d drink a improbable glass of condensed Milk River every single day if it was socially acceptable .
And , all-fired it , whyshouldn’tyou love something because it tastes good ? !

Instant coffee is hugely dependable
As I previously stated , I ’m a deep brown snob and – as a coffee snot – I ’m always taste new cups all over New York . I ’ve had good coffee and I ’ve had java that make me wonder if the beans were overcharge out of a back bowling alley dumpster . With instant umber , there is no test and error , no sense of vexation that you wo n’t be slaked with the money you just spend .
You confound two scoop of the stuff into a mug , append boiling hot water , coiffe it up with milk and sugar ( or fresh , sweet forbidden condensed Milk River ) and salute it . It ’s almost like being marry : you wake up with the same soul every single 24-hour interval and can guarantee they wo n’t wake up one good morning and be like : “ Let ’s open this relationship and spend $ 300 on Governor ’s Ball ! ”
It’s cheap as dirt! Delicious, delicious dirt.
To further preface the elbow room I purchase and expend , I am of the chosen masses who tend to be … uh , relatively thrifty ? I ’m a Jew with a capital J for “ Just do n’t care expend excess cash . ” But since I fuck eat on and drinking , when I do expend , my money goes towards restaurants and frothy drinks .
One thing ( existent unit of measurement ) of Café Bustelo costs $ 6 . The bit of cup that can be procured from that one affair ? Maybe two 12 . I ai n’t no mathematician , but that ’s a passably cost effective mode to sip your morning Joe .
turn up me awry , math !

It’s easy on the soul
I ’m not a perfectionist – if fact , I intend I ’m an imperfectionist . Ask any of my editor , they ’ll vouch for me . So imagine how I sense when I wake up every morning and make a cup of chocolate that I know I ’ll have a go at it . There ’s no fiddling around , no weighing bonce , no valuate water , no patiently waiting . There is no art to instant coffee bean and that ’s what keeps me going every twenty-four hour period .
If you do n’t think me , buy yourself some Café Bustelo for yourself and make some coffee .
And hey : tell ‘ em Jeremy institutionalise ya .
