Is Colombian instant coffee black? The difference between instant coffee and ordinary coffee powder

Customers often come to the Qianjie store to ask about our coffee powder, and then silently say, "what's the difference between your coffee powder and instant coffee powder?"

In order to make customers understand quickly, I usually tell him easily, "there will be coffee grounds left when our coffee powder comes out. Instant coffee is just like brewing milk."

What is theorized is written in the article. There are several differences between ground coffee and instant coffee, but the most important thing is that instant coffee has been brewed and dehydrated. Ground coffee is not brewed, just ground coffee beans.

Coffee powder is real coffee beans, instant coffee is not. The main difference between them is their composition. In essence, instant coffee and ground coffee are both coffee, yes. Ground coffee is a pile of coffee beans ground to a certain size. After the coffee cherries are picked and dried, the coffee beans are separated from them, and they have been roasted to a certain extent. Then grind them to a specific size according to the requirements of the coffee company. But this is where the process stops. The ground coffee is then packaged and shipped to market.

Instant coffee is also ground coffee, it has been brewed into real, drinkable coffee. Only the liquid is then cooled and dried (through various processes), leaving only the solids in the coffee. The most common process is to spray the brewed coffee in a large tower in which hot air circulates. This dries up the coffee particles and they gather at the bottom of the tower.

2. Instant coffee dissolves in liquid

Instant coffee usually dissolves directly into compliments or liquids, and most instant coffee is a mixture of coffee and milk powder, sugar and spices. The coffee powder is made of a large number of water-insoluble fibers, it will not disappear in the drink, our aim is to extract substances from the coffee powder.

3. The difference of caffeine content

Ground coffee usually contains more caffeine than instant coffee, which has something to do with two very important things that happen when brewing coffee.

Caffeine works by extracting it from your actual coffee beans or coffee powder. This happens when the bean is heated and the liquid pulls it out. This means that hot water in contact with coffee actually absorbs caffeine from coffee beans. The longer the coffee stays in the water, the more caffeine will be extracted.

For instant coffee, you can't control it. The amount of caffeine extracted depends entirely on the coffee company that produces instant coffee.

4. the quality of instant coffee is generally worse than that of coffee powder, but of course it will be cheaper, just like blue mountain coffee with a little bit of blue mountain coffee

5. Almost all instant coffee is Robusta coffee beans.

He brings a large amount of caffeine to instant coffee, and the taste is so rich that it can withstand a lot of milk and sugar or extra flavor. no, no, no. A lot of coffee will be lost when making instant coffee, and the use of cheap and high-yield robusta coffee will greatly reduce the cost of making instant coffee. If you just want to drink coffee with a rich taste and a high pure thickness, you can choose Mantenin coffee, which will definitely be much better than instant coffee. An ordinary instant coffee sentence would not be made with Arabica coffee beans of such high quality as Rosa.

6. The brewing time of ground coffee is often much longer than that of instant coffee.

Instant coffee only needs to add hot water, but the way to make coffee powder will be more troublesome, you need to clean the utensils and throw away the coffee grounds.
