Why can’t instant coffee be considered coffee?

Why can’t instant coffee be considered coffee?

Instant coffee is the first thing that people in China have come into contact with. Nestle is the most typical representative. In fact, instant coffee can only be said to be an industrialized synthetic beverage. Just like the difference between tea leaves and iced black tea in China, instant coffee is a "cup of milk tea" mixed with coffee extract, flavoring, milk, preservatives, saccharin, additives, etc., and is no longer coffee in the original sense! Real coffee includes freshly ground coffee, drip coffee, etc.

In foreign countries, coffee has a history of hundreds of years and has deep cultural roots. They make a pot of coffee every day and share it with family members. It has become a part of daily life, just like eating breakfast with milk. And this pot of coffee is not the instant coffee that Chinese people talk about with relish. Americans hardly drink instant coffee and don't even know what instant coffee is.

Why can’t instant coffee be considered coffee?

In the process of synthesis, the original nutrition and health care components of instant coffee are destroyed and disappear. Although it tastes like coffee when you drink it, it has lost its rich nutrition, and also lost its profound cultural taste and atmosphere. In addition, the preservatives, pigments, sweeteners and other added ingredients contained in instant coffee are harmful to human health. However, there is only one ingredient in freshly ground coffee and drip coffee: 100% coffee beans. This is why some people in China refuse to drink instant coffee, and at the same time, they equate the harm caused by drinking "instant coffee" with the harm caused by drinking "coffee". This is a deep misunderstanding! So drinking natural and healthy coffee is the most important thing.
