The Great Coffee Debate: Instant vs. Brewed

So today I was making my morning coffee and got into a little debate with myself - should I stick to my trusty instant coffee or take the extra five minutes for a proper brewed cup? Instant is super convenient and budget-friendly, but brewed coffee just feels like a little treat, you know? Plus, the smell alone makes waking up a bit easier.

Does anyone else have a coffee ritual that doubles as a mini self-care moment? Or are you team instant, all the way? Would love to hear your coffee habits and any hacks to keep it affordable but enjoyable!
