I can drink some pre ground cheap stuff from a grocery store and some high quality medium roast from a local roaster and be satisfied with either.
But the real question... can you handle instant coffee? That's the one thing I can't finish. After a few sips I start to struggle... that and decaf.
@ward I don't particularly mind instant coffee, even though as a Dravidian I prefer my "filter kapee". The only instant coffee I like is Davidoff... and only when brewed with a large mug of water + 1 stick of cinnamon + 1 cardamom + 1 tablespoon (actually a little less) of coffee.

But I much prefer a hot cup of pour over coffee. Instant coffee is... well... instant coffee...
If someone comes along with a theory that cannot, in principle, tell the difference between natural language and systems that are not natural language, then it is not a contribution to cognition, physics, to anything.

You got me there. I can do instant coffee, but I certainly won't be happy about it...last time I had it was at a hotel in the pacific north west. That trip ended up being a bit of a disaster...
