Unsure what the equivalent ground beans would be to half cup of instant and how have you dealt with the grounds/sludge from the ground beans. Also not too keen on boiling the coffee for an hour as I expect this would make it quite bitter.
I tried it recently replacing the coffee with two shots of good quality barrista made expresso if that helps. I think it was the perfect amount of coffee, but the boiling was overkill as it made it taste a bit burnty (I know thats not a word) :)
