I read somewhere that they only put sugar in in Italy because they just use robusta beans, and need something the releive the bitterness.
My brother in law does his own roasting. I tried it for a while using a popcorn maker, but it was too time consuming. I had to do something like 6 roasts over an hour to get a weeks worth of coffee. The brother in law has gone out and got himself a proper roaster for around $700. Some people really get into their coffee!
I use a stove top for the morning coffee with some warmed milk, but I'm happy with instant during the day at work. I don't compare it to ground coffee. It's just a different drink.

Go have a real coffee..
Haha! Got a $1.50 one from Shell this morning
They do the job - the wife has a nice little manual machine which even makes soy coffees bearable.
It's supposed to be made from coffee beans that have been eaten and excreted by the Asian palm civet (a weasel-type animal). Fermentation occurs in the animals gut and the result is the richest, most expensive coffee in the world. The Vietnamese one is chemically simulated I believe, but is still incredibly lush. I paid the same for one coffee as I had the night before for dinner for two (including two beers).
