Is freeze-dried coffee better than regular instant?

Freeze-drying removes water from the brewed coffee while it is frozen, which preserves more aroma and body than spray-drying. The result is usually fuller and less flat, though it still won't match fresh espresso.

How strong is Espresso No.3?

It is a dark roast made to taste like traditional Italian espresso, so expect a bold, bitter cup. Start with one teaspoon per cup and add more if you want it stronger.

Can I make it with milk?

Yes. Its dark, roasty flavor holds up in milk, so it works for lattes, cappuccinos and iced milk drinks. Dissolve it in a little hot water first for a smoother mix.

Does it have caffeine like espresso?

Instant coffee is brewed from coffee, so it contains caffeine, but the exact amount per cup depends on how much you scoop. A heaped teaspoon gives a moderate dose, less than a double shot of fresh espresso.

How should I store it?

Keep the jar sealed and dry, away from heat and light. Instant coffee absorbs moisture and odors, so use a dry spoon and close the lid tightly after each use.
