Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore?
For some reason I think of it as an older concept. Now Starbucks and coffee chains are popular.

It's a bit more common in the UK. Everybody's got 230v electric kettles practically in every room (/s) so having coffee that just takes hot water has extra appeal. I'm also lead to believe that their instant coffee is a bit better quality than what is common in the US.

UK here, and yeah, this is my experience.
I'll drink instant most days (right now in fact) and proper coffee when we have guests or if I'm not pushed for time.
Quality of instant varies wildly, but there's at least a few versions that are very decent indeed IMO.
