Overheard a guy at the grocery store say he uses a whisk for his instant coffee.

I was standing in the coffee aisle last Saturday and this dude tells his friend he whisks his Folgers for a full minute before adding water. He said it makes it foamy and tastes way less bitter. I got home and tried it with my $4 can of store brand. Honestly, the foam settled fast but the flavor was smoother. Has anyone else tried weird tools like a whisk or a milk frother on cheap instant?

Oh man, I tried that with a cheap milk frother I got for like eight bucks online. It actually makes the instant coffee taste way less bitter, almost like a real latte if you add a splash of milk after. The foam is thicker and lasts longer than whisking by hand too. Never going back to just stirring it with a spoon now.

Wait, really? I feel like I'm the only one who tried that and it just made my coffee taste like weirdly foamy hot water with a hint of bitterness. @miller.jason maybe I got a dud frother or something, but it just didn't do it for me.
