Instant coffee loses some of the bean’s flavor and aroma as it goes through its production process, meaning it can be a diluted version of a full-on coffee roast. You can whip up a bit more body and attitude from your mug of instant by adding just a little cold water to the granules first, stirred into a thick paste before topping up with freshly boiled water for a full cup brew. Sugar, cream and coffee flavoring can also be used to give your instant a bit more of a flavor bite.\r
