After the coffee is roasted, brewed, and processed to remove water and other components, instant coffee is formed. Depending on the needs and preferences, instant coffee offers convenience, ease of use, and affordability, making it increasingly popular.
Currently, there are two main methods to produce instant coffee on the market: spray instant coffee and freeze-dried instant coffee. In this article, we will discuss spray-dried coffee.

With the development of technology and the diversification of market demands, spray instant coffee has become the top choice for many people. Through professional processing and production, spray-dried instant coffee provides many people with new, exciting experiences and meets their desire for a cup of coffee.
Currently, there are various instant coffee products on the market, such as 3in1, 2in1, etc.
To ensure the quality of the final product and maintain the coffee flavor, the production process needs to be meticulous and strict:
Step 1: Selection and Roasting of Coffee Beans
Coffee beans are carefully selected from Robusta, Arabica, or Culi Robusta/ Arabica beans, pre-processed, and roasted at the appropriate level to develop the desired flavor.
Step 2: Coarse Grinding
After roasting, the coffee is coarsely ground to prepare for the extraction process.
Step 3: Extraction
The extraction process is carried out with hot water (this is the main difference from the freeze-drying method) to separate the soluble substances and active ingredients from the coffee. This process is conducted in a vacuum extraction machine to maintain the boiling temperature below 100 degrees Celsius, preserving the quality of the coffee.
Step 4: Concentration
The extract is then concentrated to a density of 30-40% in a vacuum concentrator. This process saves energy and time while retaining the original coffee flavor.
Step 5: Spray Drying
The concentrated coffee extract is pumped into the top of a cyclone and sprayed into a fine mist in the drying tower. The hot air in the tower dries the mist and transforms it into instant coffee. The final product has a very low moisture content, only 1-2%, and retains the characteristic brown color.
Spray instant coffee retains the rich, delicious flavor of pure coffee. It dissolves perfectly in water and is used in various coffee beverages. This product does not require special storage, making it a convenient and cost-effective choice.
