For some reason I think of it as an older concept. Now Starbucks and coffee chains are popular.

Highlighting carlcook’s advice:

dissolve in cold water, ONLY THEN add hot water. The rationale behind it is that aromatics evaporate too quickly when the instant powder is infused with too/boiling hot water.

    It’s a me thing but it’s fairly common in Europe as well. I’ve had histamine issues since my 20s but they got much worse in my late 30s so I’m careful about which coffees I drink now. Chocolate gets me too so I don’t eat much of it anymore. Both reactions are much worse during allergy season when my histamine is already high, during the winter I tolerate both much better.

      Like, not asking for medical advice but does taking antihistamines help? I’ve just been on monteleukast recently and also started drinking coffee recently. I’m curious if it’s something worth bringing up with my MD next visit. I live in a pollen bowl tho so I’m not sure it has anything to do with the coffee my nasals were just kinda clogged for 10 years before I did anything about it.
