I was preparing another round of coffee with the French press, when I saw these two sachets of "Culture Blends", which I bought from the convenience store near our place last week. No one seemed interested in it so I thought that I'd give it a go to find out if it is any good, or not.
Coffee Time ☕️☕️☕️
I chose the one on the right (the English Style Roast), which is a 2-in-1 brewed coffee in a bag. I said to myself that I might change brands into this type of coffee if it is any better than the regular "instant" coffee. For me, anything brewed has always delivered better quality than the instant variety type, but this one is a different animal altogether; it had the words instant and brewed together in one sentence, which got me confused. LOL.
It's 7:30 A.M. already and I'm also on my third cup of #coffee. I woke up early to catch up on Discord with the groups I belong to and looked at some "crypto" news, of course. Going back to making my coffee, it was really easy-peasy.
Step-by-step
In the remote possibility that you aren't familiar with this, here is a step-by-step process of making instant coffee. 😁
| 1.Open the pack | 2.Take out the bag |

| 3.Add hot water | 4.Press bag with teaspoon |

The last step, the most important one: 5.Savor the taste and aroma immediately.
First Impression
Surprisingly, the English Style Roast from Culture Blends had a full, rich taste that I can actually taste in my mouth. Similar to the more expensive ones that I get from the expensive coffee shops down the street, this had a little kick to it; very interesting.
The sugar level was just right. Not too sweet like the usual instant coffee that can be bought at the same price points. I can also taste a hint of earthy/nutty flavors in it. The smell and aroma wasn't that striking, but enough to fill the room and announce that you are having coffee. It actually paired well with my "burnt" flavored homemade peanut butter; and that was kinda fun to play around with.
I almost forgot that this was instant coffee, not! But, yeah, this was really great. I might buy some more of these and see if the coffee connoisseurs in the house would like to change brands and get this instead of our usual. If not, I will just buy and drink it all up myself in my early morning online updates and news hunting sessions.
Breakfast
As usual, I had my favorite peanut butter sandwich together with my coffee for breakfast. The homemade peanut butter that the vegetable vendor lady sold to me was a little overcooked, not really burnt, but just right. Shall we say that it had it's own personality, which set it apart from the other store-bought ones that we've had.
To Conclude
This was a nice and simple #vegan breakfast that I had today. I have some avocado, but saved it for later when I prepare lunch. So, that's it for my short but satisfying breakfast coffee write-up. I hope that you also had a wonderful morning that sets the tone for the rest of the day. It's a Friday so I'm expecting some traffic when I go out later, but that is part of #life; modern day problems that the people from old times did not have.
I still haven't finished with my coffee, and I'm already thinking of what I will be having when I drop by the coffee shop later. 😆
Love and peace!
