At least instant coffee makes sense in an economical way: it saves steps and time. what i don't get are filter coffee machines, the coffee they make is always horrendous.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

I do. I left my pour-over coffee maker at the office, so I make do with instant coffee. It's... ok, if I drown it in almond milk.
I just go to coffee shops. I live in Seattle ffs (though I prefer the smaller and local shops, their food and coffee is more unique and tastes better, and they usually treat their employees way better than starbucks)
Try Korean instant coffee, it's about the best I've had. Check the ingredients carefully if you have food sensitivities, there's often surprise 🌽 in the creamer and sometimes corn syrup powder as sweetener.
If you count k-cups ….
Or occasionally as an ingredient for baking
We discuss below that k cups have grinds and a filter. Instant coffee dissolves.
Sometimes. I keep it on hand. I usually do a French press or pour over coffee maker. But sometimes, just some hot instant coffee in theocrowave is good because I'm too tired to wait for the water to boil
I use it, because I have fibromyalgia. So it's easier sometimes to just press the button on the kettle to makes some coffee. When I'm doing well, I always make Turkish coffee, since it feels like it makes me clearer way faster than other coffee does.
Life is sad, and there are fewer options, when you drink decaf. It's all I can get at work, while the big, sophiscated coffee machine, with all it's flashy buttons, is dedicated to grinding life giving caffeinated beans to the masses.
We keep a little on hand for coffeemergencies. Say the power's out and we don't have any ground, and we either don't want to start the generator just for the coffee grinder or are out of fuel or something. Or we're camping and didn't grind enough before we left. All this assuming we're out of The Good Tea because that'll do in a pinch. I've used it twice.
Does everyone have a Starbucks in their home? Is everyone on large incomes?
The answer to both is no and no. Buying coffee is expensive and retail is at least a long way away for nearly all people. Instant is instant and cheap it will always have a place.
I don't normally drink coffee at all, but my parents still have a coffee maker, so they at least do.
No, it's disgusting, taste like socks' water
U dont want your sockwater?
slurp
Is there really anyone left who -would drink it?
Instant coffee, instant sex ... not pleasant, but over with quik. Now - get back to work. Slacker.
