We sometimes get a bit lazy and just stir up a cup of instant coffee. No coffee snobs here. Plus it saves cleaning the French press or tossing a thousand k-cups every year into the landfill. But is instant as healthy for us as regular coffee? Coffee offers some real health benefits, both mental and physical. Health.com sat down with several pots of coffee and some scientists and did a comparison. Short answer? Both are good but regular coffee is better for you. When drinking instant, go with freeze-dried. So mostly good news. And maybe it’s time for us to buy a Mr. Coffee drip coffee maker since we gave our ancient percolator away.
