In coffee, the phrase 'premium coffee' really is a meaningless descriptor. It may refer to a higher-priced coffee, packaging with improved design credentials or a single-origin coffee – but the beans could still be commodity coffee that has been thoughtlessly roasted.

Instant coffee contains antioxidants and nutrients Its high antioxidant content is believed to be responsible for many of its associated health benefits ( 9 ). Like regular coffee, instant coffee contains many powerful antioxidants ( 10 , 11 ).

Instant coffee is a beverage derived from brewed coffee beans that enables people to quickly prepare hot coffee by adding hot water or milk to coffee solids in powdered or crystallized form and stirring.

Basically it emits out all the flavors. In the heat exchange the hotter the water. The more caffeine it extracts.

Robust taste!! Love this coffee! Don't let the word instant deter you! This is fantastic and you can control how robust you want it!

What that likely means is that the yield in the Starbucks process is much lower (the extraction level is lower). That is by far a more expensive way to go but one that preserves more of the flavor. It may also explain why Starbucks is charging around $1 per packet of the stuff.

There is a small niche sector of the coffee industry where the word premium adds further gravitas to the 'Specialty' descriptor. These are very expensive coffees that are rated extremely highly for quality and taste and are usually very rare. Obviously a high demand and low supply creates a price premium.
