    Best instant ☕ coffee on the market!

    I don't have time to make a pot of coffee, so I drink Tim Hortons instant original blend because it has a great flavor. I find Tim Hortons much better than Maxwell House Instant coffee or Nescafe Instant coffee. Doesn't have that plastic flavor like these other two.

    Delicious

    One of the things I miss most when not in Canada, is this coffee.This has all the flavor of Tim's, is not acidic like can happen with instant*, but is still super convenient.*the trick to lower acidity with instant coffee is to add it to a little cold water to melt the crystals that way, then add your hot water after.

    The taste is very good, similar to Tasters Choice.

    This was rated a lot higher than Tasters Choice by a consumer magazine, but my better half said it was not better tasting than Tasters Choice. And this is more expensive than Tasters Choice.
