I know someone who always uses a teaspoon to measure out instant coffee
rather than just tipping in what they need from the jar. And they don't even change what they do if one teaspoon is of a noticealy different size to another.

In fact, I know a lot of people who do this. Pretty much everyone in fact.

Now that you mention it, I would like a lie-down.

You'd hate the way I make tea then.
I get them to pack each one individually, in a bag.
(username failed moderation, Fri 24 Oct 2014, 14:57, closed)

I saw that once, claiming each bag is just the right amount for a cup of tea.
But I gave up as I couldn't find the mug-sized bags.

Fair enough. Seems fitting too; it's not a 'cup' sort of county.
Though not being a tea drinker myself, my guests are generally limited to whatever was in the little caddy in the last Premier Inn I stayed in... :D

Instant coffee is fucking shit.
It really doesn't matter how you measure it, as the resulting drink will still bear no resemblance to coffee anyway, so who gives a fuck.

If you only have access to hot water, use a press. At home use a stove top espresso maker. I don't see the need to ever have instant.

I use a cafetiere at work and a stove top at home. there really is no excuse for shit coffee.

( Peej, Fri 24 Oct 2014, 20:13, closed)

I have a jura at home. and a stove top always burns the oils and sluts who use stove tops never clean them properly and again the oils give a stale unpleasant sour flavour. TBH I prefer instant when confronted by people who think a stove top is good. Buy
an aero press if you want cheap.

^ A true fact
Set the Delta to come on 5 minutes before the alarm clock so I come down to a kitchen smelling of coffee and a jug ready. Stove top perc for intense café solo, cafetiere for a more rounded intensity and another one to take to Travel Inn and Premier Lodge for proper coffee when I wake up. Oh, and a Tassimo for when people come round who don't know the difference.

Coffee sucks
It stinks. It makes your breath smell like you went down on a corpse. It takes fucking ages to make when all the poor person in the queue behind you wants to buy is a can of coke. Even coffee ice cream is shit.

Fuck off coffee. And take your shitty cousin tea with you.
