3.5
Jot earns mixed reviews: many say it’s convenient, versatile, and delivers a strong, smooth caffeine hit—especially for iced lattes and quick black coffee—while others find the flavor bitter, burnt, or too acidic and not on par with premium brews. Reviews also praise the sleek bottle and ease for travel, but cite issues with sourness in hot drinks, uneven strength, awkward dripping stoppers, and contentious subscription/returns experiences.

I thought the coffee was very high quality and it was extremely convenient. The bottle is nicely designed and I liked the unboxing. I'm not sure it's something I would buy for everyday use but I enjoyed it.
Feedback
The stopper didn't go all the way in which made me worry about spills. So I think that's a bit of a design thing. Otherwise, for everyday use I would probably want a much larger bottle since I would go through a number of these smaller bottles pretty quickly.
Super convenient and decent taste for the convenience. I drink my coffee black. I find their 1 Tbs to 8oz a bit too weak, 1.5 Tbs to 8oz is my preference. The resulting cup is a little flat but still SO much better than most instant freeze-dried, and at a comparable price point. I’ve tried instant-adjacent coffee from incredible producers across the globe and I would recommend Jot for this price point. I have not tried it iced yet but think it would shine that way. Unboxing and shipping were decent and it would have make a nice gift. Bonus— the empty bottle are wonderful for splitting a big order of olive oil among friends! :)

Coffee is not any better than another. The issue is they do not honor their return policy when you wish return any product. Opened or not.

Jot is extremely convenient and the cleanest way to make coffee. A month's of coffee is stored in 2 bottles that barely take up any fridge space. I don't have to worry about waking up my partner in the morning when I grind my beans. Unlike coffee, you can't add more beans to make a strong cup. Increasing Jot to water ratio changes the taste profile significantly. The taste is fine, not incredible. It's a premium instant coffee but not coffee shop or perfect French Press quality. Cometeer is much better. Given the price $1.70 a cup I'd say it's a reasonable alternative to Nespresso, if you don't want to buy the machine. Nespresso still makes a noise for those sharing living spaces when your partner is working.

The coffee always drips from the bottle no matter how careful you are. They have to send the bottles with better pouring lids. The taste is not quite there yet, hope.the formula improves.
