    It's ready instantly and smells wonderful

    I love this product. When I'm in a very big hurry and I don't have time to make coffee with my espresso machine, this is a great alternative. Great flavor, and it smells wonderful.

    Good but Pricey

    Good coffee, very close to fresh brewed. Especially good if only need 1 cup, don’t have to brew anything, just boil water. Tastes like brewed, much better than other instants. Caffeine content is about half brewed Starbucks. Not portable, comes in small cans.
