I have tried 121 types of instant coffee from 9 brands, and these 5 are the best...

If you want to see the five best drinks, you can scroll down to the bottom~

As we all know, the human body is composed of about 70% water.

But some people are like that.

Some people are like this.

And I am like this...

As a low-level office worker who has been single for many years and can only devote himself to work and needs coffee to survive at any time, the biggest function of a semi-automatic Italian coffee machine with complicated processes for me is decoration.

Hand-washing needs to be washed, take-out needs to be waited for, and going downstairs is impossible...

Convenient coffee drippers have become a must-have for those who would die without coffee.

This evaluation adheres to the principles of fairness, impartiality and openness. However, because the taste of coffee is affected by factors such as the amount of water, water speed, temperature during brewing and the time interval between drinking, and is disturbed by the taste of used cat litter, snail noodles next door, and potato chips chewed by the boss, the accuracy of the data is not guaranteed and the subjective taste evaluation is for reference only.

This review focuses on the ear hooks and includes some other products

UCC

The ranking is in no particular order, but since Japan invented drip coffee, we use this old brand as the first. This drip coffee is not only convenient to drink, but also the packaging looks like instant noodles, with retro RGB color matching. There are a total of 18 packs of three flavors, no mixed packs.

UCC's "Craftsman's Coffee" is a basic entry-level model in the ear-hanging world. It can be found in the company's tea room or as a gift from your department leader. It can be found in almost any coffee scene. This is probably because it is relatively cheap.

"Craftsman" in Japanese means a very pro who has superb skills, but when viewed from a Chinese perspective, these two words always give off a hint of the corporate life vibe.

Three and a half

Surge Pack

A well-known coffee brand with a high rating in Xiachufang Market. A large bag contains 30 bags and more than 10 flavors. It is very suitable for people who like to try new things. There are detailed descriptions of flavors, single-origin beans, origin information, roasting degree, etc. on the packaging. Blindly opening a bag and drinking it and comparing is a good way to train your taste buds.

The Italian-style beans named "Black Bear II" are the best-selling ones in his store. They have a mellow taste and nutty aroma, and are dark roasted without a burnt feeling. "Timberline" is the most special among all the flavors, with a rich and fresh fruity aroma that is very popular. I don't like Yunnan Pu'er very much, and I feel that it has a slight taste of marijuana.

Three and a half

Instant Powder

This is another star product of Santonban. It is completely different from ordinary instant coffee. It can be quickly dissolved in a cup without stirring. Pour water into this cute little jar and mix it well before using it as a concentrate.

"123" is the cold brew series, and "456" is the Italian, hand-brewed, and American coffee. Although they are all instant, there is a clear difference in taste when drinking them.

A colleague who never drinks coffee loves Luckin's Black Gold Sparkling American Coffee. I made a cup of sparkling American Coffee with "Comprehensive Extract No. 3" and she immediately fell in love with me.

Put ice cubes and appropriate amount of syrup in a cup and fill it with soda water. Mix the Santonban instant powder with water and pour it into the cup. Stir it slightly.

Fisher

This is a highly rated Taobao store. I have been recommended by others and bought beans from it. This time I bought a bag of milk extract coffee and a mixed bag of 18 flavors. For those who want to taste more flavors, this is the best in our evaluation. There is no repetition and each bag is a surprise. The quiet blue packaging really gives people a good impression, and the information about the beans is also printed in more detail.

Fisheye

Fish Eye Coffee

After having the takeaway of Fisheye Coffee, I decided to try the packaged drip coffee. The pure white color, which is exactly the opposite of the black box of the takeaway, looks very high-end with the cold geometric illustrations. The card inside the box is printed with the introduction of each type of coffee. The quality is not bad, but the disadvantage is obvious: expensive!

Yongpu

Gray dish bag

The shape of the flying saucer is very cute, and you can drink from it by removing the lid. It can be used in any cup as long as the mouth of the cup is not particularly large. The hemispherical filter can theoretically filter the coffee liquid more evenly, but perhaps due to the material problem, the dripping speed is very slow.

Sumida River

The product types are quite rich. The first coffee concentrate I saw was from this brand. The concentrate ingredients do not contain anything other than coffee, but perhaps because it uses ice water, it tastes unusually smooth and acid-free, which is somewhat unlike coffee, with a sense of non-dairy creamer and flavor. The instant coffee is priced rather high, so I don't recommend buying it. The drip coffee and cold brew are average and worth a try.

Blendy

Blendy's coffee has a feature that no other brand has. Its instant powder and drip coffee taste almost the same, and the concentrate is relatively lighter and has lower acidity. The ingredient list of Blendy concentrate clearly states edible spices, lecithin, and xanthan gum. I hope some brands will take this as a warning.

Fish

A crossover product from a certain big company has a heavy overall taste and is roasted to a darker degree. "Blue Mountain flavor" is like the "cantaloupe flavored mooncake" of the coffee world, both are deceptive flavors. Is there Blue Mountain in the mixed pack? Directly deduct one point.

Key

It is the same product as UCC's Artisan Coffee, with the same packaging as instant noodles and affordable price... The taste is nothing special.

Colin

The moment I opened the package and got the real thing, I questioned myself, why did I buy this coquettish and cheap thing? The reflective pheasant purple packaging is out of tune with other brands and is extremely coquettish... Russian purple candy kpokaht should be its good sister.

The sales volume is very high, and it is said to have a good price-performance ratio. It has a strong burnt taste when you take a sip. There is no other difference between the two except that the Italian one is more bitter.

<<:  What exactly is instant coffee? Does it have any effect on the body?

>>:  Drinking "instant coffee" frequently will not only cause gout, but there are three types of people who should not drink it.
