⅔ cup old fashioned oats,
1 ⅓ cups water,
2 teaspoons instant coffee,
1 teaspoon cinnamon,
2 tablespoons sugar or equivalent amount of sweetener

Test the oatmeal for thickness. If you would like it a little thicker, keep microwaving at 30 second intervals.
Oatmeal will also thicken a bit upon standing.

Notes
Be careful, the bowl will get very hot!
Use almond milk, or your favorite non-dairy milk, for creamy oatmeal without the dairy.
You can substitute honey or another natural sweetener for the sugar.
If this method is too tedious for you, try this:
Use a very large microwaveable bowl, to allow to the oatmeal to boil up a bit.
Microwave on high for 2 minutes, stir.
Microwave on 30% power for 4 minutes, stir.
If the oatmeal is still too thin, microwave on 30% power for another 1-2 minutes.
Add a little cocoa if you want more of a mocha experience.
