Instant coffee started out as a baked paste of ground coffee, butter and tallow. Unfortunately, the fats went rancid. People have wanted instant coffee for centuries. During the American Civil War, transporting the 12.5 tons of coffee that made up 100,000 soldiers' daily ration was a logistical nightmare. And they still needed to roast, grind, and brew it in the field. Most attempts have had serious drawbacks: - Boiling coffee down to concentrate destroys the flavour. - Dry hot-air dehydration, which is what's used for drying pasta, oxidizes the coffee. - Spray drying, used for dried milk, loses important compounds because molecules in coffee become sticky and clump together at different temperatures. - Freeze drying and flash freezing are expensive and cost several dollars per cup. But we cracked coffee in the end, and it's getting better. New at Works in Progress by @OscarSykes7 and Benjamin Stubbing, the story of how instant coffee became drinkable. worksinprogress.co/issue/a-brief-…
