Can you use instant coffee instead of espresso?

Yes, instant coffee can be used as a substitute. To achieve a similar strength and flavor, dissolve 1-2 teaspoons of high-quality instant coffee in 2-3 tablespoons (30-45 ml) of hot water. Stir well until the coffee granules are fully dissolved, creating a concentrated coffee base that closely mimics the richness of espresso. Adjust the amount of instant coffee based on your desired strength, use more for a bolder flavor or less for a milder taste. This option is quick and convenient for those without an espresso machine.
