theprof1, Taster’s Choice is one of the more expensive and one of the better tasting instant coffees. Clearly, whoever buys coffee at your shul (which I maintain is not every shul, since at least three people in this thread say their shul has fresh brewed coffee) has some rachmanus — he could easily have bought worse instant coffee.
While taste is all a matter of taste, I think you’ll find most coffee drinkers prefer brewed coffee to instant coffee.
