Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I drink both instant and real.
I drink french-press rocket fuel in the morning, a strong cap at lunchtime on office days, and I wouldn't compromise on either.
But afternoons at home, or in the evening... I dunno, it's just too much drama. I want something in the background that isn't going to make any demands on my attention. It's the equivalent of watching garbage TV at the end of a long day. You don't want hard-hitting incisive social commentary, you just want a couple episodes of Ow, My Balls.
I've found a brand that doesn't taste like toner; it's not real coffee, just Brown Drink. But it's entirely acceptable Brown Drink, and it does what I need it for.
What brand is it?

That is legitimately good instant coffee. Given the price, I'd hope so. I take that camping.
It's Australian, so probably not much use to you, but this
You're right, I can't even access the site outside of Australia. However, if I'm ever in Australia - I'll look it up!
Huh, that's fucked up. Why the hell would a cheap-ass supermarket geoblock?
I’m not in Australia and I’m able to access it!
Fwiw, it's the equivalent to store brand premium instant coffee granules. Costco, walmart or aldi may have something similar.
Oh hey, hay čxʷ q̓ə for the reply! That's good to know what the equivalent quality is. I juuuust discovered a good, high quality instant coffee that is decent. It's called Davidoff. Pricey at anywhere from $15 - $20(!) CAD for 100g.
I'm trying to avoid Nestle products on principle, and I find the Tim Horton's original blend way too high acidity/bitterness but it's okay in a pinch.
I'll take a look at more of the big box stores you mentioned.
Same. French press for work, instant for home where I don't know how long I can keep a given activity going.
