What is the difference between instant coffee and freshly ground coffee?

To answer this question, we must first talk about where the two types of coffee came from.

As the name suggests, freshly ground coffee is a process that everyone must have seen at least in coffee shops and on TV. Of course, it needs to be ground and brewed. I won't go into details here.

So where does instant coffee come from?

Instant coffee actually needs to be ground and brewed, but we consumers cannot see it. These processes are completed in the factory.

The coffee liquid produced by batches of coffee beans in the factory is sprayed out by atomizing devices similar to atomizing devices, and then the coffee mist is immediately cooled and dehydrated by a cooling system, and then it becomes granules, which are the instant coffee granules we see. As long as it is soaked in water, it becomes coffee without residue that can be drunk directly.

There is another obvious difference between instant coffee and freshly ground coffee. Instant coffee can have different flavors and even different effects, such as slimming coffee. Freshly ground coffee is brewed on site and the flavor is adjusted after brewing.

There is also a saying that instant coffee manufacturers purchase low-quality and cheap coffee beans as raw materials in order to save costs. I personally think this is possible, but after all, I don’t have a deep understanding of it, so I won’t make any rash comments here.

For example, freshly ground coffee is like eating a bowl of ramen noodles made on site at a noodle shop. Instant coffee is like buying a bag of instant noodles and making them at home. If the goal is to eat enough, both are fine. If you are looking for quality and nutrition, you have to eat ramen noodles.

So if the questioner is just looking for a refresher and doesn't care about quality, a cup of instant coffee is enough, because the processing process does not affect the effect of caffeine. If you want high quality, of course you have to spend more money~

The above are just some of my personal opinions. Please don’t criticize me if you don’t agree.
