Instant coffee can sometimes be looked down upon, partly due to its history.

速溶咖啡有時會被人看不起，部分原因在於它的歷史。

When it first became popular, instant coffee was seen as lower quality compared to freshly brewed coffee, mainly because early versions had a more bitter, less nuanced taste.

在速溶咖啡剛開始流行時，人們認為它的品質不如現煮咖啡，主要是因為早期的速溶咖啡味道更苦，不夠細膩。

Over time, as coffee culture evolved, the focus shifted towards artisanal and specialty coffees with complex flavors, making instant coffee seem less sophisticated by comparison.

隨著時間的推移，隨著咖啡文化的發展，人們把注意力轉移到口味複雜的手工咖啡和特色咖啡上，相比之下，速溶咖啡就顯得不那麼精緻了。
