Which coffee is better - ground or instant: dismantling a popular myth
Many coffee lovers constantly argue about which natural type of coffee is better.
If we talk about ground grains and the instant version, the difference between such products is minimal.
Coffee lovers claim that the main advantage of the ground bean version is its aroma and refined balance of taste.
But the essence of the grain can only be discerned in the first minutes after grinding – the smell can continue to linger for the first day.
Why the difference between ground and instant coffee is minimal
Oxygen is coffee's main enemy - this is one of the reasons why the product is sold in vacuum packaging with a tight membrane.
If you want to preserve the smell, then an opened pack of coffee should be drunk within a maximum of two days.
But there are manufacturers who pack coffee in regular bags and indicate a long shelf life.
We also pay attention to the grind size, which affects the taste of the drink in the cup.
