When was Instant Coffee Invented? Support your answer! There will be a very nice prize for the best answer that is well documented. I'm thinking of maybe a new Bunn Coffee Maker or maybe a Coleman Camping Drip Coffee Maker or something similar. We'll let this run for say up to the end of March so let your friends know. Only members with activated and "active" acounts are invited. By the way, 1938 by a Japanese scientist is not the correct answer. I will be the sole judge and my decision will be final. Of course I reserve the right to "consult" with my staff and possibly accept bribes! So let's have some fun, learn something, and win a very nice prize for our efforts. Send your entries directly to me via PM and they will be concealed pending announcement of the winning entry. Duplicate winning entries will be submitted to a random draw to determine the ultimate winner.

Yes sir you did and we now have two incorrect answers . If nobody gets the correct answer I will go with the most correct answer; ergo the answer closest to the earliest documentation I could locate which of course may still not be the correct answer but is at least a hundred and thirty years earlier than either of the answers I have thus far!

Wow! Getting some really good responses! I can hardly wait to get these out in public for discussion. So far I have entries from: Bro Freddie, Steve Korot, Rainguage, Two Tales, Major Reynolds, Toby Benoit, Faith Britton. One of you has already won; however, that could change in the next five minutes! Isn't this fun? (Oh, the intrigue!)

Instant coffee was made first by God when He Flooded the coffee bushes with water. He allowed Noah and his family to "party" in a boat on a sea of instant coffee but they drank so much that they dropped the sea level and got stuck on a mountain.

Faith, I deleted your post because I do not wish to "mislead" or "advantage" any of the other contestants. I will PM your reply to you so that it will have a record. Please do not delete it. When you get the copy and paste thing figured out you can PM it back to me.
