Beverage
Instant
Instant coffee is brewed coffee dried into granules or powder that dissolves in water. Freeze-dried usually holds aroma better than basic spray-dried. Handy for travel, offices, and recipes needing soluble coffee. Dissolve fully before judging strength. Instant can boost dry rubs and baking without liquid. Keep sealed against moisture.
