I had a friend that used to do the same thing with his instant at work...really meticulously stirring for at least 2-3 minutes, claiming it improved the flavour. After observing this about twenty times, I said "yknow what's even better? REAL coffee. You're drinking nescafe, you idiot...it doesn't really GET that much better".
The lesson is, of course - if you want your INSTANT to taste better, get better instant.
I have an espresso machine, but I know there's instant out there that doesn't require special preparation methods to taste great, I buy it...and look at the cauldron stirrers, rightfully so, like they're nuts;)
