...or coffee and sometimes pour boiling water over a bowl with quick cooking minute oats. Then cover the bowl and let stand for 3 to 5 minutes...

re -- coffee
Years ago, I acquired a small jug of freeze-dried coffee.
On those rare occasions coffee sounds good, I place a couple crystals under my tongue and let them dissolve.
.
At the rate I use it, I am good on coffee for the next several lifetimes.

re -- oatmeal
I make a killer version of haggis using cooked ground meat (elk, bison, etcetera) mixed with seasoned oatmeal.
.
I start my oatmeal the evening before.
I stir in the standard required amount of cooking fluid -- I prefer bone broth, but water is fine -- with a splash of vinegar.
If you are doing haggis, add your seasonings.
.
Why vinegar?
Vinegar helps dispell the naturally occurring pesticides -- phytic acid and phytates.
Most plants have those, and most folks are sensitive to them.
Reducing them is claimed to help digestion and gut health.
Gut health is claimed to help mental health through their vagus nerve connection.
.
Next day, my oatmeal concoction is ready to cook... at a tiny fraction of the usual amount of cooking and waiting.
.
I brown my ground meat, add the hot oatmeal, and dig in.
