For some reason I think of it as an older concept. Now Starbucks and coffee chains are popular.

Highlighting carlcook’s advice:

dissolve in cold water, ONLY THEN add hot water. The rationale behind it is that aromatics evaporate too quickly when the instant powder is infused with too/boiling hot water.

    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!

      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.
