Is Instant Coffee Real Coffee?

是咖啡？

可是为什么没有咖啡渣呢？

不是咖啡？

可是为什么有咖啡的香气呢？

现如今，小伙伴们无论是在家中、办公室或是各种社交场合，喝咖啡已经与现代生活和时尚潮流联系在一起。很多上班族都喜欢在办公室冲泡一杯速溶咖啡，简单方便又解渴提神。但关于速溶咖啡，这些也许是你所不知道的。

Today whether at home, in office or during social occasions, drinking coffee has already been closely associated with modern life and fashion. Many white collars prefer to brew a cup of instant coffee during work, which is quite convenient and refreshing.

速溶咖啡是不是真正的咖啡？

But is instant coffee real coffee?

速溶咖啡的制作原理是采用喷雾技术，对咖啡液进行雾化、干燥。所以一旦遇水，这些速溶粉末就会迅速化没。而其散发出的香气，可以认定是后期添加进去的。这些香气甚至不能称之为咖啡香，而应该叫咖啡添加剂的味道。

因此，速溶咖啡不能算真正的咖啡，这是传统咖啡界普遍看法。因为速溶咖啡本质上是工业化的合成品，充其量只能算做咖啡的代用品。

Instant coffee is, essentially, ground coffee that has been freeze-dried. When rehydrated with hot water, it makes a beverage that is somewhat similar to coffee brewed from ground, roasted beans. But people believe its fragrance is artificially added, which cannot be called coffee aroma, cause it’s just the fragrance of coffee additive.

Thus traditionally, instant coffee isn’t considered as real coffee among coffee industry. It’s only a product of industrial synthetic, a substitute of coffee at best.

适量喝咖啡对身体有益，

喝速溶咖啡也对身体有好处吗？

Moderate coffee is good for health.

But does it also apply to instant coffee?

咖啡提神≠速溶咖啡也提神

日本的一项研究表明，根据人体质的不同，也许一天喝五杯以上速溶咖啡也不能达到提神的效果。这是因为速溶咖啡没有咖啡豆原有的浓度，反而额外加入增加风味的奶油、糖浆、咖啡伴侣等，一份速溶咖啡中，真正的咖啡成分大约只有原磨咖啡的1/4到1/3。咖啡因的浓度被降低之后，速溶咖啡的提神效果也就大打折扣了。就像喝绿茶能够解乏，但市场上的绿茶饮料却没有解乏效果一样。当然不能否认一些神经较为敏感的人即使喝了速溶咖啡也能精神振奋。

Coffee is refreshing≠Instant coffee is also refreshing

A Japanese study indicates: according to different people’s physique, even drink over five cups instant coffee per day may still not refresh. This is because instant coffee contains more cream, syrup, coffee mate etc. rather than the original concentration of coffee beans. A cup of instant coffee only has 1/4 to 1/3 coffee component as the original ground coffee does, which directly affects the refreshing effects. Similar with the refreshing green tea, some green tea beverages on the market cannot recover people from fatigue. But for some sensitive person, it may still useful.

咖啡对健康有益≠速溶咖啡也对健康有好处

根据世界各地对咖啡与人体之间关联的研究可知，饮用咖啡确实对身体健康有益。但速溶咖啡中真正的咖啡成分减少，多酚类物质和咖啡因对人体的作用却有待商榷。

目前，市面上有很多号称几合一的速溶咖啡，为了满足人们的口感需求，往往会加入大量的糖和咖啡伴侣。而咖啡伴侣多含有氢化植物油，氢化植物油中的反式脂肪酸对于人体没有任何积极作用，反而会增加心血管等疾病的风险。

Drinking coffee is health≠Instant coffee is also healthy

Various researches on the relation between drinking coffee and human body show that it is good for physical health. However, the effects of polyphenols and caffeine in instant coffee are still arguable.

Presently there exist some so-called N in One instant coffees on the market, which usually contain massive sugar and coffee mate to meet people’s taste demand. Coffee mate often possess hydrogenated vegetable oil. Its trans fatty acids do not have any positive effect, but will increase the risk of cardiovascular and other diseases.
