    Dear ezralimm--due to the content of your last post (above) your status as a CoffeeSnob has been downgraded to "on probation". ;D

    Havent had the time to roast...

    Lost lots of coffee karma to International Roast already, and decided to stop my bleeding soul by trying out something less disgusting.


    O Great Bean I have Transgressed.

    I hear people have the milk / hot water first debate, makes me laugh.

    You have to be very carefull with those freeze dried dissolvable coffee granules. You dont want to spoil those natural flavours.

    The delicate flavour profile can be lost or harmed without the proper technique.

    Thats how I was taught to do it as well ryjodal, yeah I know its instant but I didnt know any different back then people always did comment that the coffee was better than normal though.

    Dissolve the instant coffee in milk first, then add the boiling water, otherwise you will burn the coffee and it wont taste good, its science.
    I know a guy that can tell if you have out the milk in first, he only drinks it with the hot water first, then the milk.

    Imagine what he could do with that palate if he was drinking decent coffee

    Exam period.

    I am currently surviving on Robert Timms coffee bags.

    They are individual foil packs of hybrid coffee bags.

    Instant + coffee grounds in a bag! Like wth but yeah it works.


    Taste surprisingly acceptable. Almost like a long black.

    $0.25 per pop.

    Some funny posts in this thread. ;D

    I hope he got paid alot. Although the above poster is right, it is good publicity.

    Mind you, if I was a good roaster/barista and ACA approached me, I dont think I could bring myself to do an instant coffee segment!

    I had to laugh out loud over these posts.

    I’m sure that Rob had his tongue in his cheek while doing the tasting and he would have needed a stronger drink to follow to clense the pallet.

    The next time I go to Forsyth’s I will ask for an instant coffee to see the response.

    Geez people dont yous know nuttin about marketing?

    Any publicity is good publicity. In one fell swoop A Current Affair freely publicised (or should that be publicised for free), Rob himself, his business, the coffee industry as a whole (whether it be for instant or fresh who cares) and various brand names.

    Way to go, no one will be complaining, and this was the non current affairs non news feel good story of the evening.

    Everybody wins! ;D

    Ive never seen Rob do the "benevolent / absent minded / nutty professor thing" and he did it well......good marketing in the context of what was being done. And remember, the greatest proportion of the coffee market is instant, the people that drink it take it seriously, and might find it a legitimate if light hearted segment in the show.

    There will be a run on the two "best" instants, from supermarket shelves, starting this morning, for the next few days. Thats reality!

    I know from videos at the WBC that Rob cant make Greek/Turkish coffee ;D

    I wonder if liquid instant is better than freeze dried ??

    I hope he was wearing his white scientist ACA coat : I think going with the disguised voice and back lit to preserve anonymity would have been a better option ;D
