Why spoon estimates vary
Instant coffee can be coarse freeze-dried granules, fine powder, or a compacted spoonful from the jar. Those textures leave different amounts of air in the spoon, so tablespoon weights are approximate.
For drinks, the estimate is usually close enough. For recipes, concentrates, or repeatable batches, measure grams first and use tablespoons as the practical kitchen translation.
