Birthday instant coffee

April 12, Friday

Instant Coffee Birthday is celebrated on April 12, in honor of the date when the instant coffee production process was patented. This event is associated with the name of the Belgian chemist George Washer, who in 1901 received a patent for the first technology for making instant coffee.

Instant coffee revolutionized the world of drinks, as it significantly simplified the process of making coffee. Unlike the traditional method of brewing ground coffee, instant coffee could be quickly dissolved in hot water or milk, which made it especially convenient for quick and easy preparation.

The popularity of instant coffee increased significantly in the 20th century due to its ease of storage and speed of preparation, especially in countries with cold winters.
