You are all overcomplicating coffee. All those machines and whatnot.

How do... how do you think the coffee becomes instant? Do you suspect that a coffee grinder, filter, and hot water is more complicated and machine laden than the process that turns beans into soluble powder?

Do you saw your own wood? Do you mill your own flour?

If I did, those would also be simpler and less mechanized processes than the industrial ones.

Guess it's a lot of work for you and not too much, comparatively, for some massive scale corporation. Though I have found that I like it either from grounds or freshly ground.

I looked it up. Basically they make coffee the normal way (hot water) and then sublimate the water away.

Precisely. More complicated, more machines. You just outsourced the overcomplication.

Exactly. I outsource the complication.
