When you are in a rush in the morning you want to be able to get coffee without the expense, time and still get great tasting coffee. This is why instant coffee was made.
David Strang first patented his idea in 1890 as the Dry Hot Air process. It is also said that Britain started the coffee invention in1771. The first American product of coffee was made in 1853. In 1901 Satori Kato, a Japanese scientist successfully manufactured instant coffee. In 1906 George Constant Washington a British chemist living in Guatemala, developed the first commercially successful process for making instant coffee. Then Nescafe Company introduced it commercially in 1938. Instant coffee became popular very quickly and brewed coffee was then considered old fashion.

Crystal nucleation is the process of formation, the occurrence of crystallization conditions is a natural occurred in the area above the curve is saturated, and is added from outside of the seed crystal. The process of crystal formation occurs in solute than normal conditions. That is how the process of making coffee works.
