For low caffeine options I'll do a weak long black. Personally cannot stomach instant in any form. Get indigestion almost instantly.
instant WRECKS my stomach. No idea why. Glad its not just me.
So apparently, instant is made by freeze drying the beans/grinds. When you're drinking it, you're ingesting the grinds which can be quite acidic. I get a similar reaction when I ingest some of the grinds from a turkish coffee.
Right, that makes a bit of sense I guess
My GP at the time told me about this. It's been nearly 20 years and still the only type of coffee that does it to me. I'll take it as facts.
