Nescafe is the traditional instant coffee but it can be a bit sour/strong if you use too much. Any way it does the trick so if you had a bit of milk and sugar you'll get by.

Maybe switch over to energy drinks if that's your thing, but for the love of God, avoid NOS energy drink.

Just buy a coffee maker with a built in timer.

You'll have a fresh pot of coffee waiting for you when you get up.

Cafe Bustelo is stronger than hell. Fails in the good tasting dept though, it's an acquired taste.

Jet Fuel by Coffee People for the Kureg. The Keureg takes about 30 seconds to heat up and about 30 seconds more for a fresh cup

To me you've already got the best tasting instant (Via). Mns2k has a decent suggestion if you're willing to buy a K-cup machine. My Keurig takes closer to 2 minutes to warm up. However, good K-cups cost $0.72 each (typical Green Mountain brands at $11.99 a box of 18) with tax at my local Bed, Bath, & Beyond. I see for 48 packs of Via for $0.73 each (with shipping) through Amazon. Not a significant price savings over Via unless you end up liking one of the bulk-pack brands ($30 for 80, plus tax or shipping).

You can buy a K-cup insert and just use your own coffee, but you'll have to clean and load it at some other point in the day fortime savings.

I can't speak for anyone else but I preferred the instant effects of meth; or snorting adderall in a bind.
