How to Turn Ground Coffee Beans Into Instant Coffee Powder

Instant coffee makes it very easy to enjoy a quick cup without the need for equipment to brew a whole pot. Most companies make instant coffee by freeze-drying it or dehydrating it in other ways. It is also possible to make it by grinding coffee beans into a fine powder. Starbucks has done this with its Via Ready-Brew instant coffees. Many people say that it tastes much more like regular fresh coffee this way.

Things You'll Need

  • Coffee grinder
  • Fine sieve
  • Regular ground coffee beans
  • Coffee scoop, 1.5 tbsp.

Instructions

  1. Scoop one scoop of ground coffee beans into the cup of the coffee grinder. One scoop is good for one cup of coffee, so increase this number if you wish to make more cups.

  2. Start the grinder and grind the coffee for about 30 seconds. Grind the coffee to as fine a powder as it will grind to. It will eventually begin clumping together a bit. Check the coffee, and repeat for another 30 seconds if necessary.

  3. Pour the coffee out of the grinder through the sieve, and all that should be left in the sieve are chunks of the finest powder. You will most likely be left with about half of the original scoop of beans.

  4. Discard or regrind the thicker powder, and pour the micro-powder chunks into your cup. Pour 1 cup of hot water over the fine coffee powder and stir to dissolve the powder.
