In the army, they call that "Ranger Coffee". In every IMP (Individual Meal Pack) or in the states - MRE, you get 2 small packets of instant coffee, 2 packs each of sugar and whitener.
You keep the instant coffee in the pouch next to your canteen. Dump said packet in mouth, swig water from canteen (which also tastes 'off') and you will wake up in about 3 minutes. Repeat as necessary.
When you crash from that instant coffee binge, you will think that someone drugged you. It seriously fucks you up. Only to be used when you need to be awake right now, and damn the consequences.
Totally rots your guts too. Horrible, horrible shit.
I love my coffee fresh ground, in a press or drip, I dont care. I am trying to wean my fellow workers off the "tinfoil bag" of pre-measured coffee that the coffee service provides. Those bags are full of the floor-sweepings from the Folgers factory.
