3 years later, I still don't like instant coffee. I have a Keurig in my office. I have 3 different coffee makers in my kitchen. If I'm camping, I take Starbucks Via or JFG instant. I think JFG is a regional. There is a tallish building in the Old City neighborhood in Knoxville with a big JFG sign on the top and a cafe (may now be closed) on the ground floor. I do remember a delicious aroma coming from the building back in the 80's and 90's. It's not bad but it's still instant - to be made when brewing from scratch is impossible or nearly so.
