I am interested in finding out how far removed it is from real ground coffee and how it is processed. Thank you

I thought you just boiled the kettle, then added hot water to a spoonful of it in a cup, giving coffee instantly.

for good instant coffee do not use boiling water. wait half a minute till it has gone off the boil
