An apportionment device that is placed atop a mug, into which the upended jar of coffee is screwed. This device ascertains the resonance of the interior cavity of the cup or mug, and rations out the perfect bounty of dry coffee.
Data it would need to know: the type of coffee (and perhaps the batch
number); the intended parametric intrusion of milk (and sugar); the qualities of the local water.
The idea behind this is that I've long surmised that it should be possible to reconstruct a cup of instant coffee that matches the qualities of a cup of brewed 'real' coffee, if all the parameters are correct and the planets aligned, etc. Possibly the most important parameter is the concentration of coffee versus water+milk/adjuncts.
Given that neither cups and mugs, nor spoons, are standardised, it can only be sheer folly that persuades people that they're doing anything resembling an act of accuracy in measurement when they make a cup of coffee. This scheme uses acoustic resonance to ensure the correct delivery of the right quantity of coffee.

So, is instant coffee just freeze dried brewed coffee? |

Also required: Pantone reference for exact colour of coffee required. |

Instant coffee is either 'sputtered' or
freeze-dried actually real brewed
coffee.
The sputtering process results in
granulated or powdered coffee, the
freeze-drying (sublimating) process is
more expensive to achieve, but results
in
more aroma being preserved through
the
process, which the granules tend to
lose a
bit more of. But yes, it starts off as a big
industrial-sized brew of actual real
coffee. |

And as if to reinforce everything above,
I've just found a good link - aren't I
good to you all? |

AHhhhh! I am a coffee nut...and I drink instant coffee. But, I am fortunate in that I found an instant coffee that is actually as good or better than fresh brewed. It is made in Mexico and is called "Cafe' Combate". It is marketed all over the world and it has a very reasonable price..even less expensive than Folger's Instant. It leaves no foamy scuzz on the surface when mixed and has true coffee flavor without that "instant coffee" whang. I think the maker is affiliated with another Mexican coffee maker..."Nescafe'". But, Cafe' Combate is really worth trying if you want a great cup of coffee. |
