You are all overcomplicating coffee. All those machines and whatnot.

preferring instant to fresh coffee is the more popular opinion in much of the world, but it's mostly in the same places where people would rather be drinking tea anyway:

I'm Australian, coffee machines are becoming more popular due to the cheaper pod systems but they have mostly been luxury items in the past. Only people I know who don't drink instant are upper middle class or higher.
