Before Adding Hot Water: A Simple Trick May Improve Instant Coffee’s Taste

A simple step before pouring hot water may help improve the flavour of instant coffee and reduce its bitterness, according to a British press report.

The suggestion focuses on how the drink is prepared, pointing to a possible way to make a cup more pleasant to drink.

The brief account, however, does not explain what the step involves or how it should be carried out. It therefore offers too little detail for readers to try the method reliably.

The reported benefit is also tentative: the trick may improve the taste, rather than guarantee a less bitter cup.
