I've recently been doing some instant coffee with milk and it is really fucking good. Around February I wanted a bit of a classic snack the way my grandparents would, some sweet bread with instant coffee. So I got myself some. I had forgotten the powdered creamer, so I used milk. I was pleasantly surprised.

Single source African light roast, coarse grind, French Press, no milk, no sugar. That is coffee.

What you have is an ingredient for a custard dessert or a nice addition to a pudding pie.

Of course, I tease, enjoy what you enjoy. I'm kinda partial to diner coffee, even though it's bitter and watery and made with the cheapest crap around.

Edit: I keep instant coffee granules in the house almost at all times. They're really great for baking, adding coffee flavor to desserts, or, my favorite, in chilis and barbeque sauces/rubs. They're faster to use and the nuances of great coffee are going to be lost in the cooking process anyway.

in chilis

Wait, what? Can you elaborate a bit?

Throw it in with your chili spice blend. It compliments beans, meat and tomatoes pretty well. I tend for "just a touch" in chili, but more in steak and BBQ rubs.

Edit: It might work well in curries, too, but I haven't tried that yet.
