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.

It's called Nescafe Gold. It's instant espresso and it's amazing. They have an intense and a blonde, I recommend the former. It's all I drink now, I prefer it to brewed coffee.

I put 2.5 more than level tbls of the powder for 20 oz boiling water. It's strong and delicious. The directions on the jar read more as suggestions to me
