Over a year ago, our team tried a cup of instant coffee at Civil's Highland Park café and knew immediately: if we were ever going to feature instant coffee on Drops, it had to be Civil.

A blend of 70% anaerobic natural from Guerrero and 30% washed from Oaxaca, built for sweetness and balance. If you think you know instant coffee, think again.

🌎 Origin: Guerrero + Oaxaca, Mexico ⚗️ Process: Anaerobic Natural + Washed 🔥 Roast: Medium 📦 6-pack 📝 Brew with 8 oz. of cold or hot water, stir, & enjoy!

Chloe N. ★★★★★

This 70% blend is rich enough to drink black, which is rare for instant coffee. It dissolves instantly in cold water too, so I've been using it for iced coffee in about thirty seconds.

Amelia E. ★★★★★

The 70% blend hits that perfect middle ground—strong enough to wake me up but smooth enough to drink black. Dissolves instantly in cold water too, which saves me from waiting for the kettle on busy mornings.

Lucy ★★★★★

I’ve been making a cup every morning with just hot water from the kettle, and it dissolves instantly with no clumps or gritty bits. The flavor is noticeably smoother than any other instant I’ve tried—actually tastes like a proper pour-over. It’s become my go-to for a quick, satisfying coffee without fuss.

Timothy Q. ★★★★★

Finally, an instant coffee that doesn't taste like burnt cardboard — I've been drinking it black every morning for a week and the 70% blend gives it a smooth, almost chocolatey finish that dissolves instantly with no gritty sludge at the bottom.

Ryan ★★★★★

Makes a surprisingly rich cup for instant — no weird bitterness or that chalky aftertaste I’ve come to expect from other brands. I just brewed it black and it held its own, which never happens with the stuff I used to grab at the grocery store.

Grace H. ★★★★★

My first morning with this coffee, I was skeptical, but the flavor is so smooth and rich — it actually doesn’t have that bitter aftertaste most instant coffees leave. I just mix it with hot water, no milk needed, and it’s perfect.

Benjamin ★★★★★

I’ve been using this instant coffee on camping trips and it dissolves completely in cold water, no clumps. The flavor is rich and smooth, like a fresh brew, not the usual burnt taste.

Scarlett ★★★★★

The first sip reminded me of a pour-over I'd get at a café, not the tinny taste I usually expect from instant. Dissolved in hot milk without any clumps, and the flavor held up even when it cooled down in my mug.

Sophia ★★★★★

The 70% blend gives it a rich, smooth taste that doesn't turn bitter as it cools, and it dissolves instantly with no clumps. I've been making it with hot milk for a quick morning latte, and it's genuinely better than most café drip coffee I've had.

Evelyn ★★★★☆

I was skeptical about instant coffee, but this 70% blend changed my mind—it’s smooth without any bitter aftertaste. Brews up fast in hot water, which saves my mornings. Just wish the jar were a bit bigger for the price.
