Thoughts on Instant Coffee (VIA)

coffee that dissolves in water? It just seems weird. Kool-aid is different because it's a sugar, which when put in water the molecules break down and form new bonds with each other. Coffee shouldn't do this. Come to find out, your Starbucks VIA coffee isn't fresh coffee grounds after all. Ask the guy at the counter next time you're in and he'll tell you that VIA coffee is microground coffee that dissolves in hot water....then tell him this..."Actually it's not made of fresh coffee grounds, it's made of dehydrated brewed coffee." In other words it's coffee that has already been brewed and then dried out to form solid crystals...which can then be dissolved in water.

That's gross and so is this
