My morning routine used to always include a cup of pour-over coffee. It set me on the right track each day: I would look forward to smelling the freshly ground beans, pouring hot water into the grounds, and watching meditatively for two minutes as the java dripped into the carafe. But one morning in late January, I slept past my alarm and rushed to get ready for work. With no time to make coffee my usual way, I grabbed a sample of Laird Instafuel instant coffee and added water, my caffeine craving outweighing my inner coffee snob.
