Actually I don't actually think it's that much different but some people can taste the difference.

Is there any actually taste any different?

Instant coffee can taste different from freshly brewed coffee for a few reasons.

The brewing process for instant coffee is optimized for speed and convenience which can lead to a less complex flavor profile.

Also the drying process whether spray drying or freeze drying can affect the taste sometimes giving it a slightly different or more muted flavor.

Freshly brewed coffee usually has more of the coffee beans natural oils and aromatics which contribute to a richer flavor but if you don't notice much difference that's totally okay.

Taste is subjective after all.

Okay okay thank you so much.

Ah you give me some kind of validation that is nice.
