Lavazza is decaffeinated ground coffee that must be brewed. It is not instant.

No, it is not an instant coffee, but rather grounds for fresh brewing. And it is excellent.

It is roasted chicory root, not instant coffee. So yes, you have to discard the chicory root after brewing. Some people do consider it a coffee substitute, but we add it to our coffee grind before brewing for flavor.

Gee, it's instant COFFEE, so I believe it is the same; the process is possibly different but it's coffee. Why not check online for the breakdown and let us all know what comparisons you've found?

I am not sure what you mean by instant hot water, if you mean does it have a place where you can get hot water for tea or whatever than no, it doesn't have that. If you want to know if the water is hot when it makes the coffee then, yeah it does and I have mine timed to shutoff in 2 hours.

That would be like putting instant coffee grounds in the coffee pot. ..you could, but why? I just mix a tablespoon or so in hot milk/almond milk or water. Eazy peezy!

Somewhere in between. Better than instant, but, of course, not as good as fresh ground coffee made from good beans and brewed in a French press.

I don't see why not. I have never used instant coffee. Instant coffee just needs hot water so it should work fine. Try it and see if you like the coffee. Good luck!

I've not specifically timed it but it makes a cup in 20-30 seconds I'd guess, which includes the grind and delivery time. I've had multiple people want a cup and I see it as no big deal.

I am a confessed coffee snob. With that in mind...I just got one of these and I LOVE the taste. The Chai tea is EXCELLENT also. The beverages don't taste at all like instant (which I won't touch) or french press...it has a coffee house coffee taste to it. I'd give it a strong recommendation...it's an expensive machine but it's worth it.

It is pure coffee - sure you can drink it - because of the lighter roast it has a higher caffiene content - if you read the book "3000 coffee breaks" the author that did this protocol also brewed the coffee fro drinking

It is. My husband, however likes very bold coffee and he does not find this bold enough for him. I, too, like bold coffee and this is perfect for me. This coffee has a rich distinct flavor all it's own; delightful!

It's a pushbutton, but it's very fast and coffee is best drunk ASAP after brewing. It takes less than 2 minutes to brew.

With all due respect, as a real coffee drinker instant coffee does not even come in my house. You need a fine grind absolutely not the ground coffee for a regular old coffee machine; water just runs through the grains rather than sit on it and slowly drip through. It's needs to be fine (not Turkish coffee fine but close). You can buy any coffee you like, Joe's brand or Starbucks, whatever. I buy the Seattle Mountain brand Colombian Supremo at Costco. It's a 100% Arabica bean. Excellent. Also comes in decaf if you so desire. Grind at Costco machines at "fine" setting, I believe 4 steps away from the left. I'm pretty picky about my coffee because I drink only 3 small cups a day so it has to be good! Good luck. Also' I vacuum pack and freeze my coffee as as I get home since I'm the only coffee drinker in this house. I make bags of approx. 250gr (about 8 oz) and keep in freezer. I keep the "in use" coffee in airtight container.

It's 'instant' in the sense that it is prepared via Keurig coffee making machine which is essentially instant, pressed coffee.

Haven't tried instant, but seeing the fine filter in the K-Cup, I'd guess that it wouldn't work that good as I don't believe all the instant would dissolve fast enough to give you a good cup of coffee. Best to just put the instant in your cup and use the Keurig as a hot water dispenser.
