Coffee has long been a part of life for millions. It wakes us up, keeps us moving, and helps us be our best selves. While some prefer fresh bean coffee brewing methods, others opt for instant frozen dried coffee production methods; is one superior to another? And just how is instant freeze dried coffee made anyway?

Freeze drying is a process in which moisture from products is removed by freezing without using heat, thus maintaining their original flavor and nutritional content. Not to be confused with spray drying which uses hot air to evaporate the excess water from a product. Freeze dried products tend to taste and feel less chewy than their spray-dried counterparts.

Instant coffee is typically created from finely ground roasted beans that have been vacuum-dried under low pressure in a special chamber to produce a granule-like consistency, with lower water content than traditional ground coffee. Once this process is completed, the coffee is packaged into plastic bags sealed under low vacuum pressure to prevent oxygen leakage, creating a product with an expected shelf life of three to five years while not losing flavor or aroma.

Make Your Own Freeze Dried Coffee is an excellent option for people on-the-go who love instant coffee, particularly when mixed with milk and sugar. But for those who just prefer their instant brew without added creams or sugars, homemade freeze dried coffee could be perfect! Not only is making instant coffee at home more cost-effective but it gives you complete control over its flavor profile and how much caffeine it contains!

Here’s how you can make instant coffee at home: First, prepare the ground coffee according to your brewing preference. Next, distribute it evenly among trays and put them in the freeze dryer, setting its temperature to -96degF and leaving it for two hours (granules should be light in color and crumble easily when touched by fingers; otherwise repeat). When finished, remove trays from freeze dryer and allow them to cool before placing them into Mason jars or glass Mylar bags equipped with oxygen absorbers for long-term storage.
