Ayra: Sweet Brew Instant Coffee (Dark Roast)
What it is
Single origin instant coffee, freeze dried
Ayra is 100 percent Arabica from the highlands of Papua New Guinea, washed, roasted dark, then freeze dried into crystals. Typica and Bourbon varietals. The jar holds 1.9 oz, which is 54 g, and a cup takes one teaspoon.
The part people get wrong
Do not use boiling water

The label asks for water at 160 to 175°F, which is 70 to 80°C. That is well under the water temperature used to brew ground coffee and a long way under boiling. Freeze dried crystals dissolve fine at that heat, and water straight off a rolling boil drives off the aroma the freeze drying was there to keep. If you have no thermometer, boil the kettle and leave it to stand for two to three minutes.
How instant coffee is made
Two methods, and they are not the same
Freeze dried
Brewed coffee is frozen, then the ice is drawn off under vacuum without ever turning back to liquid. Because it never gets hot, the volatile aromatic compounds largely stay where they are. This is the method used for Ayra, and it is why the crystals look like crystals rather than powder.
Spray dried
Brewed coffee is sprayed into hot air and dries into a fine powder. It is faster and cheaper, and the heat costs aroma. Most supermarket instant is made this way.

Good to know
Questions, answered
What water temperature should I use?
160 to 175°F, which is 70 to 80°C. That is the label instruction and it is well below boiling. Boil the kettle and let it stand for two to three minutes if you do not have a thermometer.
Why not boiling water?
Freeze dried crystals dissolve without it, and water straight off the boil drives off the aromatic compounds that freeze drying was used to preserve in the first place.
How many cups are in a jar?
The jar holds 54 g and a cup takes one teaspoon. We have asked the manufacturer for the weight of a level teaspoon so we can give you an exact figure, and we will publish it here.
How much caffeine is in a cup?
We have asked the manufacturer for the caffeine content per cup and will state it here once we have it.
Is it freeze dried or spray dried?
Freeze dried. The section above sets out the difference between the two methods.
Where is the coffee from?
The highlands of Papua New Guinea. It is single origin, and the varietals are Typica and Bourbon.
What does it taste like?
Toasted almond, a light fruit acidity and a soft toffee finish. It is a dark roast, so it is on the fuller and more roasted end rather than the bright end.
Can I make iced coffee with it?
Yes. Dissolve the teaspoon in a small amount of hot water first, then top up with cold milk or water and ice. Dissolving it first is what stops it sitting in granules at the bottom of the glass.
Can I use it in milk instead of water?
The label suggests two scoops, or blending it with your milk of choice, for a richer cup.
How long does it keep once opened?
The label says use it within three months for best quality. Stored in an airtight container, dry and dark, it may keep up to a year.
Is it instant or ground coffee?
Instant. The crystals dissolve in the cup. There is nothing to brew, filter or press.
How does the subscription work?
Subscribe and save takes 5 percent off every order and ships once a month. You can skip or cancel from your account.
