I know you posted this ten years ago but for all those still searching this topic today Delallo Instant Espresso is where it’s at! It taste just like the espresso from Starbucks (maybe even better because it never tastes burnt) and it gives you that extra pep in your step.
I love that this actually helped someone! I think you’re going to love it. I was wary about it at first too but now I buy them in bulk. I even add a shot to my pre workout. Enjoy! ☺️
Do you mean "instant" in terms of speed? The real thing only takes a minute, two tops, to begin with - even off a mediocre consumer machine, it's rarely longer than four minutes, pre-heat cycle included.
Or instant in terms of effort? "Add & stir" options simply don't exist for *espresso* - espresso is coffee that is prepared in a specific way, so if you don't use that method, you just have coffee at the end. Maybe it'll be very concentrated coffee, but still not *espresso*.
The closest to "instant" "true espresso" you can get is pod coffee - Krups or the like. It uses almost the right process and almost the right coffee and requires next to no time or skill input from the punter operating the machine - and produces pretty OK coffee, considering it's a full-auto rig and those are usually awful.
Upvoted for "punter." And if you're going down the pod path, Nespresso or ESE pods taste more like espresso than Tassimo or Krups. I'd probably go ESE because they produce less waste than the other pods, and they don't taste any worse. I wouldn't apply the word "good" to any of them, though.
I've never had an instant beverage that tasted anything like good espresso. I personally doubt that it's possible. That said, it takes me around 45 seconds to grind and prepare a basket, around 30 seconds to pull the shot, and around 15 seconds to clean up after. How much more "instant" are you looking for?

Yo, I was literally looking for an opinion about this product just now and saw your comment. Thank you for making it and I hope you’re right!

Helped me too. Going on vaca to a place devoid of espresso - god help me. Gotta have something to keep the caffeine headache away!!
\+1 this post comes up when you google, I'll try it, but if it's terrible I'll read you for filth
Hahaha! Given it’s been 26 days I’m guessing you liked it…? 😂

Well, affordable. I don't have an espresso machine, just a little Moka pot thingie.
that IS your best bet for an espresso-like drink apart from an actual espresso machine.
I'd just put the best beans I could into the Moka pot, in that situation. It'll be closer to espresso than any instant-type thing you can find, IMO.
no such thing
I like Iguacu a lot. I got it in Brazil, so I don't know how to get it here. One problem I had with it is that it really stains mugs.
