Description

Instant espresso is a type of soluble coffee that offers the intensity and characteristic flavor of traditional espresso coffee, but in a quick and practical way. It is obtained from roasted and ground espresso beans, which are then dehydrated to turn them into a powder or granules soluble in hot water.

Instant espresso has its origin in the development of methods to prepare coffee quickly without losing the concentrated flavor of Italian espresso. Although traditional espresso comes from Italy, instant espresso has become popular globally, especially in contexts where speed and convenience are necessary.

Its notable properties include its high concentration of caffeine, which offers an immediate energy boost, and its ability to dissolve easily, which facilitates its use in cooking recipes and beverages. It is ideal for preparing instant coffees, desserts like tiramisu, ice creams, and other dishes where that deep and aromatic espresso flavor is sought without the need for a specialized machine.

In different Latin American countries, instant espresso can also be found under names such as instant espresso coffee, soluble espresso coffee, or simply strong instant coffee. However, the term "instant espresso" is widely recognized and used in recipes to ensure the intense flavor that this ingredient provides.
