Coffee does contain copper as well as iron, zinc, manganese, cobait, chromium and fluorine.

The difference between instant coffee and ground coffee is that instant coffee is more concentrated and goes through a quick drying process or freeze drying process which creates a powdered coffee extract.

When you add the instant coffee powder to hot water it dissolves and creates a cup of coffee.

Coffee grounds on the other hand are just coffee beans that have been roasted and ground down to make coffee with hot water pouring over it such as through a coffee maker.

Freshly brewed coffee is healthier for you than instant coffee as instant coffee is more processed while brewed coffee is not processed other than roasting the beans and grinding the coffee.

Freshly brewed coffee also tastes better than instant coffee as well.

Although both instant coffee and brewed coffee support a healthy heart and energy levels when you drink them in moderation and instant coffee contains a bit less caffeine than brewed coffee.

Instant coffee is real coffee as instant coffee powder is made from real coffee beans.

The soluble and volatile contents of the beans are extracted.

Then the water is removed so powder or concentrated soluble coffee powder are left over.

It's essentially been dehydrated for our convenience – just add water.

You cannot just add water to ground coffee like you would with instant coffee.

Ground coffee will not turn out the same when just added to water without it being filtered and the water going over the coffee grounds.

You would just end up with grounds in your coffee cup as the coffee grounds would simply sink to the bottom of the cup without extracting the coffee from the coffee grounds.

You can however use a coffee filter and then place it over a cup and put coffee grounds into the coffee filter and pour hot water over the coffee grounds to make coffee without a coffee maker.

Using ground coffee as instant coffee may result in a slightly different flavor profile than traditional instant coffee.

The texture may also be coarser due to the presence of coffee grounds, and there may be some sediment in your cup.

Instant coffee differs from ground coffee because instant is made from dried coffee extract but is more concentrated.

Through a quick drying process or freeze-drying process, a powdered coffee extract is then created.

When you add that to the hot water, it dissolves to create a cup of coffee in a flash.
