Honestly pretty good. Nice taste, B-Corp Certified, vehemently independent, and it keeps me awake without feeling panicky.

      It’s the kind of coffee a barista might serve you at a corporate chain coffee shop.

          There was a trendy foamed coffee drink (“dalgona coffee”, iirc) a few years ago that as far as I know can only be made with instant.

          They do sometimes sell tins/bags of their own brand of instant coffee at Starbucks.

            Yes, but I’ve never seen one that serves it as a menu item.

      They don’t drink much coffee in the UK (mostly tea), so their coffee tends to be subpar. This is marketed as Starbucks-like coffee.

        There’s lots of fantastic coffee roasters in the UK. But yeah a lot of people also drink instant (gross)

    I don’t think it’s British. I have lived here my whole life, and I still haven’t heard of any UK based coffee plantations! Need a few more years of global warming before that happens.
