A Shot in the Dark: A Comprehensive Guide to Coffee; Thursday, 4th Period [06/06].

"I'm sure even those of us in this class who already appreciate a cup of coffee for its effect on a person well beyond the caffeinated energy boost," said Ignis, from the front of the classroom again, with a nod to the students as a whole, "have had moments where the time to truly enjoy brewing and savoring a cup is just not an option. Which is why today, we're going to turn our attention toward various methods of instant or to-go options one might find in the world at large, or, at the very least, one's local grocery stores.

"Here, I've gathered a few different instant coffees for us to sample, try, and judge. Making them is simple enough, as well, just add hot water and a good spoonful of the powder, stir thoroughly, and then..." There was a pause, and a bit of a wry smile, "well, whether or not we enjoy them is something to still be determined.

"I will also add," he continued, "since I know there's more than a few fellow cooks in the class, that, while instant coffee may not be ideal for a satisfactory cup, there are still some fairly incredible things that can be done with them when it comes to some clever and unique recipehs, especially in baking."

Class Activity: Instant Coffee - Coffee, 06/06.

And now the moments of truth have arrived! With several electric kettles filled and ready to go with hot water, it's time to consider which instant coffees to try and test and evaluate, as well as discuss the concept as a whole. Personally, Ignis will be sticking mostly with the ones that made it onto this list, though the options are bountiful.

This was honestly Senshi's favorite part of the class, going through and getting to taste (and savor) the different options available to decide which ones he liked, which he didn't, and why.

...Perhaps even finding a few things to purchase for his own apartment.

Miguel tried each of them; some he finished quickly with a shrug, and some he took a bit more time on. But look, very little coffee was bad coffee.
