Need to get the 'right kind' of instant coffee.
Regular 'white man' instant coffee is junk- chemically and taste wise.

I've been using ( sounds like 'using' in the drug sense, doesn't it ! ) 
Mount Hagen brand, organically grown highland coffee for quite while now,
And gave up dairy stuff a while back - so I put Soy Creamer in it - works
for me, and a snap to make.  Flavor and caffeine affects are just fine.
