About Instant coffee powder

Instant coffee powder is brewed coffee that has been concentrated and dried so it can be reconstituted with water. It is used to make a quick coffee beverage and can also provide coffee flavour in cooking. Its taste and strength vary with the coffee blend, roast, extraction and drying process.

The product is sold as soluble granules or as a finer powder; freeze-dried and spray-dried forms are common. It is usually brown and dry, dissolving in hot water to make a drink. Nutrition comparisons should distinguish dry powder from prepared coffee, and should not assume that every product has identical composition or serving concentration.
