@@MohanABKno, but they had two syrup bases a coffee and a cream base, if you google it you'll find that it's just corn syrup and xantham gum to prevent clumping, so just buy those two separately Then get a caramel or other flavor and splash it in (per drink, not with the base) I was referring to the "coffee base" which is instant coffee, but they also had syrup bases which I'm referencing to here
Another tip, get the crystals smaller. I will either put mine into my blender cup and pulverize it into oblivion or into a small baggie and roll a rolling pin over it until it is powdery. Making it finer helps it dissolve faster and smoother.
This is facts. I use one of those little mesh strainers with the handle and put it over my cup, measure my instant coffee into it, then take a spoon and crush it into the cup. Makes a fine powder
The real trick is not to use boiling water, but just hot enough before it boils. Assuming you're using an electric kettle like we do in the UK, you turn it off just before it starts bubbling.
Or if you're in a tea drinking area, just buy yourself a kettle that has an adjustable thermostat. I got one earlier this year from Rosewill that allows me to set the temperature. I love it because my tea comes out tasting properly rather than bitter, and for times like when a recipe calls for a certain temperature, I don't have to bother mixing water until I get the right temp, or waiting for the water to cool.
Personally I have to disagree, or at least, I can't tell the difference, despite what Nescafe say. Instant coffee has already been brewed, you're just adding the water that was removed before packaging it; it's not the same as burning coffee beans or ground coffee. Either way the result is the same other than the temperature of the cup.
I was mindblown at how something so simple as to dissolve the coffee on room temperature water first makes a difference. Thank you for making the video
I took your advice and you have stepped up my instant coffee game. Adding room temp waternto the instant coffee really helps. Then I had hot water and the coffee taste oh soooo goood. I can go on. So thank you!
how to make your instant coffee better: 1-)put more coffee per water 2-)first put cold water so you don't burn the coffee(literally on most of the packages it says use 80-85 degree water)
This video is so unique about instant coffee. I got into fresh coffee grounds after realizing I couldn't have instant anymore... But it's nice to see a more intricate video on instant coffee usage. That glass dome cup is super cool, btw.
@sowhat... it was a health issue with my brain; headaches and dizziness. I think I had a stroke. I looked into it after drinking instant coffee and I guess there were certain chemicals from the crystallization process that effected my brain. I thought it was caffeine but one day, I forgot I couldn't have coffee and bought Starbucks. Later on, I remembered and wondered why I didn't have headaches from it. They use fresh coffee grounds and I realized the headaches came from a homemade cuppa from instant coffee. Since then, I was only buying at Starbucks and eventually bought my own coffee makers and coffee grounds. Luckily, I've healed in time for the dalgona coffee trend. 😀😄
Crazy how I did instant coffee wrong my whole life. :D I tried dissolving it in cold water before using the hot one and the taste has improved dramatically. What a tip!
I bought a jar after many years in order to make a coffee whip. In the past, even Italian imported espresso powders tasted terrible but I'll give it one more try.
This is brilliant! Thanks for the tip about dissolving the coffee using room temperature water, makes a lot of difference. Going to try the third recipe, look delicious. Keep up the great videos 😇
This is so helpful, thank you! This sounds silly but I don’t actually love coffee and that makes me *more* interested in finding good coffee drink recipes. There are a couple of frappes from different cafes that I like, with just a slight hint of coffee flavor that I enjoy, and I’ve been desperately trying to recreate the joy of drinking those at home. P.S. you should make a video of coffee drink recipes for people who don’t like coffee! Lolz.
I don’t have high standards for coffee but all instant coffee I make ends up tasting burnt. Today was the first time I made instant coffee that didn’t taste like dirt! Thank you!
The last one is like a riff on a Greek coffee frappe (also made with instant coffee), which as the name gives away, is probably the most popular way to drink coffee in Greece
It’s so hilarious to see the world discover frappe in 2023 and call it whipped coffee😂😂 every summer in Greece for damn near 20 years ive been drinking this coffee and some kid with a hand mixer thinks he made a grand discovery
We Indians drink instant coffee every day I think in India instant coffee is the common and this espresso drink and other we rely make it home and we use normal milk it’s simple this is how most of make we buffalo or cow milk we heat it till we feel it good then we take instant coffee packets which is ₹2,₹10,yes most of don’t buy that big boxes here we put that powder into a steel glass add some sugar and then some hot milk then we whisk it by pouring coffee into other glass and repeat until we nice Brue that’s all coffee is ready
Another way to enhance the flavour is by using evaporated milk (unsweetened), or for a Vietnamese style, sweetened condensed milk. I also love blending my coffee with a drop of either lemon or bergamot essential oil, it's simply cold pressed peels. It's great either hot or cold or as thick as a milkshake with xanthan gum (I use the edge of a spoon's handle, a little goes a long way). The cold versions work well with a small pinch of salt. And if your coffee is too acidic, you can add a VERY small pinch of baking soda, like just a millimetre or 2 of the edge of the spoon.
I'll give you an easier and better tasting method: Put the required amount of instant coffee and sugar if you take it, (although it's really not required as the milk will give sufficient sweetness) into a microwavable mug. Top up to half of the mug with milk (preferably whole milk). Put some water on the boil, that will be used to top up. Stir coffee/milk and microwave for 30 seconds on full power. Take out and stir and microwave again for another 30 seconds. Take out and stir again to be microwaved for the last time for another 30 seconds or until nice and foamy on top. Finally top up with water that you've boiled a couple of minutes prior. Stir well and enjoy.
I've been using his tip about dissolving the coffee first in cold water and it makes The difference for me! I use Trader Joe's Instant Coffee and always add a small pinch of salt.
Try Africafe it is so delicious! ad instead of granulated sugar.. I make simple syrup .. 2 kinds.. 1 with regular white and another made from sugar in the raw :-)
idk if youtube is stalking me or what but i recently got instant coffee (im not a coffee drinker so this is pretty new to me ive only drank starbucks) so this is perfectttt and i love cinnamon, brown sugar and a pinch of salt in everything sweet so this is perfect!!! thank u :DD
Nostalgia alert! Growing up we had "Indian Cappuccino" a lot, but we just called it "creamy coffee". We used decaf instant because my parents didn't want caffeinated children bouncing off the walls, and we usually had it as an evening treat. Wish we had one of those hand blenders back then though! I might have to pick up a bottle of instant coffee and relive my childhood. The brown sugar shaken espresso version looks good too, thanks for the inspiration.
It's not hard to make iced coffee with instant coffee. Ive done it for years. It's good. But I only drink it occasionally during the summer. That's the only time I use instant as well. I use a stove top percolator to make the best tasting coffee. Comes out great 100% of the time.
i loooooove the Indian cappuccino this i tried making coffee for the first and it was so bitter soi search for videos about how to make instant coffee i found this video tysm
Absolutely agree on this! I use an electric kettle and for years set it to 100 C and always thought my instant coffee tasted burnt. Began setting it to 90 C recently and even that slight difference makes it taste so much better
I read up somewhere on how coffee oils are actually temperature sensitive... I tried different times on the microwave (never boiling).. and found a perfect temperature for me.
Simplicity......2 TBlsp cold cream or 1/2 &1/2 / add instant coffee of your desired ammount/strength/add 1/4C Boiling water....WHISK with a battery powered froth whisk building a light foam (personnally I dont over do it...or untill your hearts content)....add more hot water to I'll cup with a light spoon stir. NOW ITS WELL MIXED/and the flavor comparison to a simple spoon of coffee and boiling water stirred is night and day, so ENJOY. Fast simple, very good....
The trick to make better instant coffee is to use room temp water first then top off with the hot water... Proceeds to poor the hot water/milk directly over the instant coffee and not follow his own tip.
He did say to follow the tip if your instant coffee taste bitter . So maybe the coffee ge is using in the video doesn't have that bitterness so it will just be a useless step for him .
When I make frappes, I've found it's better for me to dissolve the instant coffee crystals in a but of water before I add everything else and blend. It mellows the bitterness of the coffee a lot.
You are right regarding the fact that you don’t literally burn the coffee with boiling water. However, the effect in taste often is reminiscent of “burnt” flavors. It’s a common phrase in coffee brewing
Thanks! This is a great tip. I never measure the water; I just fill my smallish mug with boiling water and milk. I'll try that little pre-mix next time and see if that improves the taste. I use (brace yourself) Nescafe, always have since about 1964.
I made that middle one last week without knowing it was a legit method lol. I was experimenting with my instant coffee and went “hmmm I wonder what would happen if I dissolved the coffee crystals with a little bit of hot water, then added the milk and topped it off with the rest of the hot water. It did actually taste better than normal, needed more milk tho so I’ll add it next time
I like to get one of those little mesh strainers with the handle and put it over my cup, measure my instant coffee into it, then take a spoon and crush it into the cup. This makes it into a fine powder that is so much easier to blend when I'm making a cold latte. Those little chunks just don't like to dissolve in milk.
Instant coffee reminds me of camping. I'm worried that if I follow your instructions and make it taste better it will ruin camping coffee. Maybe I can have both. Great video. Sub'd.
I'm a coffee snob, and I make home espresso etc. but I still sometimes drink Taster's Choice. It actually doesn't taste half bad, it's strongly caffeinated, easy to make, and tastes fine if you add a little bit of milk. I'm sure artisan instant coffee is very good -- it's all very underrated.
I love Taster's Choice too. The other secret to making it not taste awful is to let it sit for a couple of minutes before you drink it. That kills off the instant coffee smell and gives the crystals a chance to fully dissolve in the hot water.
I'm not looking for a dessert when I drink coffee. I drink black coffee without any additives. And I can tell the difference between real coffee and instant coffee. I will try dissolving the coffee with room temp water first and see if that makes a difference.
I was drinking instant coffee all my life, but not long ago i switched to ground coffee. Ground coffee is much better for health. I noticed it after some time of drinking it regularly
Black Coffee: Don't allow your water boil, but just warm enough to satisfy. Pour only a little bit of water in your cup, swirl around until the sugar and coffee has dissolved, then fill the cup, you will see the creamy foam form. Enjoy.
Where did you get that clear/acrylic latte cup with lid/straw and does it come with a handle? By the way, great coffee ideas to try. I only drink instant coffee (Greek frappe) with ice. The coffee brand names you recommended are a bit pricy for only 3 oz, but I'll look to try it. Nescafe french roast is my current choice that I love. And that's not cheap either.
My fav way of using instant coffee is dalgona or whipped coffee, always enjoyed it and is a lovely application for instant coffee. I remember when I was dumb and thought I could make whipped coffee with freshly ground coffee… lol instant coffee is what makes it. I should try these methods, thanks man :)
I worked at Starbucks for three years so I can tell you that the frappuccinos are made with instant coffee, their "coffee base" tastes terrible, the reason it tastes good are the 3 - 5 ounces of pure corn syrup we also mix in
Thanks for the info! Would you happen to know what on Amazon I could buy to be as close to that corn syrup?
Lol that's another reason to boycott Starbucks!
So Thats why my home coffee tastes better than starbucks.
@@7H07sAndH03s they do have real drip coffee and espresso in the other drinks, it's just the frappucchinos
@@MohanABKno, but they had two syrup bases a coffee and a cream base, if you google it you'll find that it's just corn syrup and xantham gum to prevent clumping, so just buy those two separately

I was referring to the "coffee base" which is instant coffee, but they also had syrup bases which I'm referencing to here

Great idea!
Cold cream ? What's that ? Can you elaborate ?
Cafe Bustelo is my absolute favvvv instant coffee with a teaspoon of hot cocoa and some vanilla extract yummm
Bustelo is just good instant or not.these other ones.... no thx.
@@N11-xr9pi1 Bustelo's regular ground bean blend was my favourite coffee for a while, still is for flavor, but it heavily disagrees with my insides :(
what I love about instant coffee is you can easily make a concentrated shot of coffee, and then add the rest as milk. DELICIOUS
Yea that's why it's called instant coffee
