Instant coffee- the biggest unwanted shoe-in ever. Making proper coffee is just as easy (I am very biased as something in my tasting kit gives the instant muck a nasty taste very unsimilar to proper coffee. Equally, I do keep the stuff as I have two regular guests whose taste is the reverse and don't like the real thing).

Aunt always added a pinch of salt. Never heard of the egg shell (weren't they just kept to psych-up the powdered egg scramble?). I make a batch for the week using a cafettiere nuking two mugs per morning as my ration. Grinding the beans on site from local blender/roaster.

Just away for my second mug.
