Looking for good, bulk instant coffee

[axlesandantennas]

I want good instant coffee.

I drink good coffee at home. Out in the woods? I want that brew looking like a natural disaster and need a winch to pull out the spoon!

They're shelf stable for so long because they contain this menagerie of chemical additives.

"Water, Milk Protein Concentrate†, Calcium Caseinate†, Contains less than 1% of High Oleic Sunflower Oil, Natural and Artificial flavors, Inulin, Cellulose Gel and Cellulose Gum, Salt, Sucralose, Acesulfame Potassium, Carrageenan, Tripotassium Phosphate, Dipotassium Phosphate, Sodium Hexametaphosphate, Vitamin and Mineral Blend (Dl-alpha-tocopheryl Acetate [Vitamin E], Zinc Glycinate Chelate, Ferric Orthophosphate, Vitamin A Palmitate, Niacinamide, Phytonadione [Vitamin K1], Potassium Iodide, Cholecalciferol [Vitamin D3], Copper Gluconate, Calcium D-Pantothenate, Manganese Sulfate, Sodium Selenite, Biotin, Sodium Molybdate, Folic Acid, Thiamine Mononitrate [Vitamin B1], Cyanocobalamin [Vitamin B12], Pyridoxine Hydrochloride [Vitamin B6], Riboflavin [Vitamin B2], Chromium Polynicotinate), Magnesium Phosphate, Sodium Ascorbate, Choline Chloride."

When we're going out for a few days we just put some heavy cream into a glass milk bottle and keep that in the fridge.

i worked overseas a lot and pretty much always saw nescafe instant where ever i went. spent a lot of time on a dutch crane barge and they had nescafe instant served with canned condensed milk. it was also the first time i ever saw nutella. if nescafe is good enough for the dutch...its good enough for me

Fresh milk products are always preferable, of course. I keep a favorite quart glass bottle from the local dairy here in Maine in my fridge when traveling and refill it when I find fresh.

However, going out for a few days and being gone for several months as I often do, many weeks of which are often far from any fresh milk are two very different things.
