I want to talk about coffee.
Jimmy the Squid:
I would if I could (by which I mean, if I could be bothered).

I drink a fair amount of coffee and I always have it black. I find instant coffee pretty much undrinkable (in the sense that when I drink it I go 'eurghh' and never finish a cup).
So, there you go.

I have wondered if instant coffee was the inspiration behind Douglas Adams when he made Arthur Dent describe the drink from the vending machine as "almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea".

I'm not a coffee drinker myself so I don't know firsthand, but I would liken the situation to microwave foods or sugar-free snacks. For example, I love fresh seafood but Gorton's frozen fish sticks literally make me gag. It would be an exaggeration to say they're worse than something that is literally poisonous, but it is not an exaggeration at all to say they are barely edible and I would rather eat paper. Any food that I would literally prefer paper to I feel merits the adjective "terrible."
Barmymoo:
I have never found coffee to have any kind of waking-me-up effect, except for when I drank an entire mug of espresso.
Slightly off topic, I went out for breakfast with someone who does not like coffee or tea or hot chocolate, so she ordered a mug of hot water. Weird.
