I suppose I am making you all cringe right now :P. Been using the old instant mountain blend for years, yep it is instant....light weight and very taste to coffeeholic....but then again I prefer the irish to the scotch! Make it strong make it scandivian farmer style....what ever you want.....when I am really living large on trail I still do the old standard cowboy coffee methodology-works better for groups as the harmonics are better for getting the grounds to settle prior to decanting ;) PJ the morning thing is not not a problem either, NO @#$%! ;D
