Instant coffee

Instant coffee, also known as soluble coffee or coffee powder, is a dehydrated, soluble form of coffee that dissolves easily in hot water to produce a drink similar to traditional coffee prepared from freshly ground coffee beans. Unlike making coffee from whole or ground beans, which requires filtering water through the ground coffee to obtain the brew, instant coffee is obtained through a dehydration and freeze-drying process.

Although instant coffee may not completely satisfy the most demanding palates, it is a convenient option for those who want a quick and easy cup of coffee without the more elaborate preparation process that ground coffee requires.
