Определение и Значение "instant coffee"

What is "instant coffee"?

Instant coffee is a type of coffee that has been processed and brewed into a concentrated form, and then dried and packaged for later use. It is made by extracting the soluble coffee compounds from roasted coffee beans, and then drying the resulting liquid into a powder or granulated form. Instant coffee is convenient, quick to make, and has a long shelf life. It is a popular choice for those who want a quick and easy cup of coffee without the need for brewing equipment or a coffee shop. The flavor of instant coffee can vary depending on the brand and quality, but it is generally milder and less complex than freshly brewed coffee. Some instant coffee brands are now offering specialty-grade instant coffee that has a more complex flavor profile, similar to freshly brewed coffee. Instant coffee can be enjoyed on its own or added to hot water, milk, or other beverages for a quick and easy coffee fix.
