Ground coffee is is used to make instant coffee.
We make coffee by pouring hot water over/through the grounds.
Instant coffee uses the same principals, but on a large scale to produce coffee concentrate (really really strong coffee). Then, that concentrate is dehydrated and broken down into smaller granules.
Instant coffee is just redhydrated, so it completely dissolves. The grounds used to make it were already discarded before it made it to the store shelves.
