Instant coffee quickly dissolves in water and a longer shelf life compared to other coffee formats. With instant coffee you also save the coffee cleanup as there are no coffee grounds left after making your cup of joe. You also don't need to spend money on coffee machines and at least one study has found that it has a lower environmental footprint than other preparation methods in addition to creating less carbon emissions due to its light weight and packaging.
With all of these benefits, it's not a surprise that more people these days opt for premium instant coffee brands for their every day use. But, what is so special about instant coffee?
What is the difference between instant coffee and ground coffee?
Ground coffee and instant coffee are not the same. Ground coffee is made from coffee beans that have been roasted and ground for brewing (with a grinder). Instant coffee is a coffee extract derived from coffee beans that have been roasted, brewed and then dehydrated.
To brew ground coffee beans you have to brew and filter the coffee to enjoy the coffee beverage, while instant coffee fully dissolves in water to create a cup of joe.
