how to cut coffee weight

[Axel J]

There lots of good instant coffee choices now that compete with Via. The big mistake I was making with them was pouring water that just boiled onto the instant grounds which made the coffee bitter. Now I let the water cool for a minute or two before pouring. It made a huge difference in the quality of taste.

Axel. That’s a good tip. ^^  If I’m using filtered water, I don’t heat to boiling anyway, but it explains why my fancy instant sometimes tastes bitter.

Also, I substitute a hydration tab with caffeine for my afternoon coffee. It doesn’t satisfy the palette like coffee, but is easy to drink while hiking.
