What is the difference between drip coffee and instant coffee? Here's what drip coffee tastes best!

Recently, I found that my colleagues who love coffee in the office brought a new thing: drip coffee, and they also claimed that this little thing has become the most popular small bag recently. With a heart of seeking truth (xiang) and being pragmatic (ka) (fei), I really studied it. If you don’t like instant coffee, but you find hand brewing coffee troublesome, you might as well learn about drip coffee. 90% of you will love it.

Instant? I can't tell the difference.

Instant coffee: The active ingredients in coffee are extracted into water and then dried. During the drying process, the natural aroma and essence of coffee will be volatilized in large quantities. Therefore, most of the coffee flavor you taste is simulated by artificial flavors.

The coffee beans in instant coffee are the lowest grade coffee beans in bulk purchase, because these coffee beans are of poor quality and cannot be sold individually. They can only be used for instant processing.

Drip coffee: Made directly from coffee beans, it does not contain additives and is insoluble in water. Put the coffee powder into the filter bag, and then use the cardboard on both sides of the filter bag to hang the filter bag on the cup. Add an appropriate amount of hot water to the cup and discard the filter bag after brewing. Then you can drink the ground coffee just like drip brewing, and the acid, sweetness, bitterness, mellowness and fragrance of the coffee are perfectly reflected.

Summary: drip coffee is the middle ground between instant coffee and freshly ground coffee. If you think instant coffee is not tasty and healthy, but freshly ground coffee is too troublesome (you need to prepare a lot of equipment), then drip coffee is your best choice.
