"There are two methods for producing instant coffee crystals: freeze-drying and spray-drying. The freeze-drying method preserved the most 'coffee flavour' but it's a more involved procedure. First, the coffee is allowed to sit so the water evaporates naturally, leaving a concentrated coffee solution. This concentrate is then frozen to around -40 Celsius. The remaining water freezes into ice crystals. Sublimation (a natural process similar to evaporation) is used to remove the ice. What's left is dry grains of coffee. The second method is spray-drying. The water is again allowed to evaporate, forming a concentrate. The concentrated coffee is sprayed from a high tower in a large hot-air chamber. As the droplets fall, the remaining water evaporates. Dry crystals of coffee fall to the bottom of the chamber. The high temperatures involved in this method do tend to effect the oils of the coffee and more flavour is lost."

The hot ones make pretty decent iced coffee too if you don't like your coffee being sweet.

I used to hate coffee unless it was really sweet but now I can drink it with almost nothing in it.

I used to keep a pitcher of iced coffee in my fridge but I'm trying to cut back the amount of caffeine I drink.
