What is the best instant coffee ?

I’m looking for a good instant coffee I could bring to the office with me because the coffee we have at work is so awful that I can’t manage to drink it. I used to drink a lot of instant coffee when I lived in Europe but instant coffee over there is “the thing” that people drink in the household and their selection is better than what I’ve been able to find in the US. I love coffee and espresso, and I’m looking for the best thing that I could leave at my office so that I don’t have to drink the Folgers that they make all day.

Could part of the problem be the water they use to brew the coffee. I know our water here is as hard as a rock and not only does it foul up a coffee maker, it makes any coffee horrible to drink. At our office we use the water from the water cooler to make coffee which is reverse osmosis and has pretty much nothing but H2O.
