Until two years ago I was a double espresso drinker made from a little Italian coffee maker that I put on the hob.
However, I realised that caffeine gave me headaches so the only coffee I drink now is filtered decaffeinated. Even my Earl Grey is decaffeinated. I miss the taste and kick of real coffee, but I don't miss the headaches.
I don't drink instant coffee but as you say it is very popular in the UK. I think this is because we tend to like big mugs of hot drinks and a big mug of real coffee would have us bouncing off the ceiling.
