12.Instant coffee is very popular in the UK.Why do the British drink so much more instant coffee than anyone else?"It's like orange squash(橙汁饮料) and orange juice.They're both called orange but that's pretty much where the similarities end,"says Paul Meikle-Janney,managing director of coffee consultancy,Coffee Community."Instant coffee and fresh coffee are different products.Each has its own place in the market but that place is narrowing when it comes to instant and that is as it should be."
But instant coffee still accounts for 77% of the coffee the British buy to drink at home,according to market research specialists Mintel.In Italy it accounts for just 1%,in France 4% and 7% in the US.The UK market for coffee at home is growing and is now worth more than£1 billion annually.
It's the Americans who are largely believed to have given the UK the stuff.It came during World War Two.For a nation of coffee drinkers it was a temporary solution to not having a freshly brewed(煮) cup of coffee.For a nation of tea drinkers it was something new and exciting.
Instant coffee is refused in cafe culture.But,as figures show,things are different in many British homes.Author Phillip Hensher is a fan,calling it a"little piece of everyday private magic".So what's the appeal?Simple--it's quick and easy.Granules(颗粒),hot water,some milk if that's how you take it,job done."‘No trouble'is the product's main strength but that won't last as freshly-brewed coffee is now much quicker and easier to make it at home."
