What is the laziest, most anti-elitist way to make coffee? (sh.itjust.works)

I have an idea for a post, some may have seen a comment of mine earlier. I’m looking for the most offensive-to-coffee-snobs approach to making coffee possible. I’m assuming something to do with instant, but from there, I don’t have many ideas.

Someone suggested reconstituting it in milk, that seems fun, any other ideas? I’m fully expecting the end result to be absolutely disgusting, for what it’s worth. I’m looking for the worst abomination possible, but it still needs to technically be coffee. Get creative, have fun with this. Whichever technique gets chosen (or multiple get combined), I’ll credit in the post I make.

buy pre-ground coffee. that's guaranteed to be the worst.

I mean, it probably won’t taste as bad as instant but old stale pre-ground coffee from originally really nice beans gets points in the offensive category for sure.

honestly I'd rather have a decent instant coffee than use beans that have been sitting pre-ground for more than, like, a day!

That’s definitely a hot take, but respect for knowing what you like. I’ve definitely had pre-ground that was way better than any instant I’ve ever tried, but maybe I just haven’t had good instant yet.

I've heard (but can't personally confirm) that it's possible for instant coffee to be quite good.

and actually I take it back, I might not turn my nose up at pre-ground coffee over instant, like if I just want black coffee but the only instant coffee also has sugar and (dehydrated) cream.

tho who am I kidding, my sweet tooth would probably win out in that case..

I’ve heard of specialty roasters doing instant quite well, but I also can’t confirm if they’re any good or not.
