For some strange reason, I really like the taste of instant coffee. Somehow it tastes fresher to me (or close enough to freshly ground coffee) than brewed coffee from grounds that have been ground god knows when.
I usually drink about 2 - 3 cups a day, no more than that. I'll have my usual morning coffee at work between 9AM - 10AM and then another cup around tea time between 2PM - 4PM. I try to limit myself to drinking tea after that.
I'm a big fan of cafe con leche (Enceph, feel free to correct my punctuation / accents needed). My mother used to heat up milk for me, sweeten it with a little sugar, and then add a teaspoon of instant coffee. She said it was "milk-coffee" popular to kids my age. I always thought coffee was a "grown up" thing when I was little, so when she first introduced it to me at the age of 10 it was like being welcomed into the world of "young adults" so to speak.

Damn my mother and her tactics. lol. I was actually a reaaaally mature kid for my age when I was little (something about being responsible for your 4-year old sister's every action probably had something to do with it), but I still blame my own early addiction to coffee for my height difficiency.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
