I drink the instant stuff, usually supermarket own brands or occasionally a well known brand if it's on offer. Having tasted some of the high falutin stuff I don't think I'm missing out.

What's Burning? wrote:It has been long thought that recurrent kidney stone formers should avoid the intake of coffee and tea, as they both contain varying amounts of oxalate. It was also thought that the use of caffeinated beverages would lead to a relative degree of dehydration and increased kidney stone production. It has now been shown that the amount of oxalate in coffee and tea is actually relatively low and that caffeine affects a particular hormone in the kidney (antidiuretic hormone) in such a way that it leads to production of a more dilute urine thereby decreasing the risk of kidney stone formation. The data currently suggest that drinking a single 8 oz. cup of coffee per day can decrease a patient's risk of kidney stones by approximately 10%, while with tea, the rate drops by 8%.Something i never want to exprience again.

I know I could get up 15mins earlier and make my own at home. But why bother if I can pay someone to do it for me.
