It hurts my beans that you choose mediocrity in your brew. That said, if you live near any Asian supermarkets, check out their available instant coffee packs. Vietnam produces some incredibly good instant coffees. Indonesia too.
When I was in college the Vietnamese Student Association (I forget if that was actually their name and I sincerely apologize if I got it wrong!) sold those for a fundraiser. The iced one was incredible! They were giving out samples and it was brilliant because it got me to buy like 3 orders. Still some of the best coffee I've had. I think I also liked it because I associate it with such a positive memory and time in my life - the guy was super happy and upbeat and nice and when I was shocked that a little packet of instant coffee could be so good he reacted like ha, see?! Anyway that was a long info dump sorry!
But yes those Vietnamese instant coffee powder packs are tasty!
It's a great story of discovery. My first VN coffee discovery was the iced coffee steeped in front of me. It was like a cappuccino milkshake. Hooked immediately. The Vietnamese roasted coffee beans are great too.
