It looks like exactly the same stuff.

看起來是一模一樣的東西。

So why you cannot just, you know, ground the coffee bean and coat it in instant coffee powder?

那麼，為什麼不能把咖啡豆磨碎，然後裹上速溶咖啡粉呢？

Is that anything different?

這有什麼不同嗎？

Great question.

問得好

Ground coffee beans and instant coffee might look similar, but they're quite different.

研磨咖啡豆和速溶咖啡看似相似，實則大相徑庭。

Ground coffee is just roasted beans that have been ground up.

研磨咖啡就是將烘焙過的咖啡豆磨成粉末。

You need to brew it to extract the flavors.

您需要通過釀造來提取其中的味道。

Instant coffee, on the other hand, has already been brewed and then dried, so it dissolves completely in water, giving you an instant brew.

而速溶咖啡則是經過沖泡後再烘乾的，是以能完全溶解在水中，為您提供速溶咖啡。

If you try to dissolve ground coffee beans in water, you'd end up with a gritty mess because they're not made to dissolve like instant coffee.

如果你想把咖啡豆碎末溶解在水裡，你最終會得到一團砂礫，因為它們不像速溶咖啡那樣可以溶解。
