The 9 Best Instant Coffees Out There - Eater

"Cometeer is exceptional and produces what is arguably the best instant coffee on the planet. It’s expensive, for one. One serving costs between $2 and almost $4, and the minimum order is four boxes with eight servings each. It’s bulky, for another. Each serving is packaged in a capsule that’s slightly larger than a Nespresso pod. And it requires some care on your part. The coffees are shipped with dry ice and need to be stored in the freezer. But if what you want is an instant coffee that objectively tastes better than the fresh-brewed coffee you can make at home, then you should consider Cometeer. The basics of Cometeer and powdered instant coffee aren’t so different. Both are brewed as a high-extract concentrate that’s something like a coffee sludge. But rather than freeze-drying the coffee, Cometeer flash-freezes the concentrate with liquid nitrogen then packages the ice puck in a capsule that’s flushed with nitrogen to prevent oxidizing." - Oliver Strand
