I was thinking more of Folgers and Maxwell House. And the [shudder] instant coffees.
For shame, sir! These are beneath consideration.
However...
I don't know what chemicals Nestle puts in it, but Indian Nescafe is really good. Far better than Mexican Nescafe, which is still miles ahead of its American counterparts.
I have heard people swear by Vietnamese instant coffees which have milk powder and sugar added, found them OK too. My tongue can still identify them as coffee though. Unlike American instant coffees.
I'm not joking, when I first came to this country as a poor graduate student, I tried Twinkies and Hostess products, and my tongue simply refused to recognize them as food. To me, they will forever be oily blobs filled with sugar, and no recognizable natural analog. India world is poor country when I grew up, but at least we ate real food. I still don't understand the point of being the richest country in the world and eating super processed food-like substances.
