FWIW, I understand freeze-drying. My question is more about how instant coffee is prepared versus brewing. When you brew coffee, you run the water through the grounds while filtering them out. When you make instant coffee, the grounds just dissolve into it?

What am I missing here?

Fun instant coffee whip-thing. If you haven’t already seen it, whip a table spoon of sugar, tablespoon of warm/hot water, and a tablespoon of instant coffee. It makes a sticky, delicious coffee yummy thing.

I like to whip it with sugar and heavy cream for a coffee mousse.
