I've learned to like instant - I don't think of it as coffee, just as its own thing. And instant espresso (the Nescafe stuff) is actually surprisingly good.
Out of ease/laziness, I've just learned to drink all my coffee black. I love a cappuccino when I'm at a cafe, but can't be bothered at home, especially when I don't have an espresso machine (or the patience/counterspace for one).
