Birthday instant coffee

April 12, Saturday

The birthday of instant coffee is celebrated on April 12th, in honor of the date when the process for producing instant coffee was patented. This event is associated with the name of Belgian chemist Georg Wascher, who in 1901 received a patent for the first technology for preparing instant coffee.

Instant coffee was a revolution in the world of beverages, as it greatly simplified the coffee preparation process. Unlike the traditional method of preparing ground coffee, instant coffee can be quickly dissolved in hot water or milk, making it especially convenient for quick and easy preparation.
