Instant (dry) iced coffee

[Anonymous]

Are there any good instant iced coffees out there?

I’m looking for something for travel, so not a liquid or concentrate. Not sweetened. I usually just brew and chill regular strong coffee and then pour over ice, but this won’t be possible while traveling. I found some Nescafé type granules but are they any good? Any similar recommendations to try?

Starbucks used to make some that were basically powder packaged in stick form that were decent but its been a long time since I bought them (also for travel) so jot sure if they're still around.

Dunkin makes a powder for instant iced coffee. I have no idea how good it is, but if you're just trying to launch into your day, maybe it's fine?

There used to be packets of instant Cafe Bustelo, but I think they were meant to be dissolved in hot water

I like the Mt. Hagan brand instant coffee for travel. I find the Starbucks instant coffee to be gross. Ive never tried iced though so it's possible you need to add hot water.

I love blue bottle instant espresso and their Nola packets. You can buy both in individual servings. So, so good

I've made iced coffee used the Cafe Bustelo instant espresso and they have been pretty decent. By the time you add creamer/milk and somesort of flavor, they aren't half bad.

These Trader Joe’s cold brew bags aren’t single serve, but they make about a pitcher of iced coffee using big tea bags of coffee grounds. Pretty decent.

My college aged daughter is SUPER picky about her iced coffee. She insists, and makes amazing coffees with Medaglia D'Oro. I buy it in bulk on Amazon (prices have gone up).

Not sure how it does as an ice coffee, but Starbucks instant coffee that comes in individual packets works for me for travel where there is no coffee maker.

McDonald's black ice coffee is surprisingly good.

Just be aware that Vietnamese coffee is partially or entirely robusta, not arabica. Robusta has twice as much caffeine as arabica.
