Tuja kafo?

Judging by the offerings of Google translate it looks like 'instantana kafo' would be admissible under rule 15.

Curiously, however, NPIV doesn't register 'instantana'.

The problem with Kaf-pulvoro is that could be just finely ground beans. But perhaps pulvora kafo would be OK.

Does Vikipedio have an article on coffee?

google translation gives the translation from English as "momenteto kafo" I'd go with that even though esperanto is not my expertise

The Swedish word is "snabbkaffe", rapidkafo. That is quite close to tuja kafo.

“Tujpreta kafo” may be a good translation of “instant coffee”.

I'd probably just go with "tujkafo" (based off of "tujmesaĝilo" = "instant messenger")

But I don't drink coffee.

Ooh, that's a very handy word! Thanks for finding it for me!

But suppose you had to translate dialogue in a novel or film.

- Would you like a coffee? I'm afraid we only have instant.

- Instant will be fine.

Tujaĵo?

I normally say "tujpreta kafo"

If I were looking for a rule 15 usage it would probably be "neskafeo", since Nescafe is well-known in many countries for this product. But in Esperanto settings everyone seems to call it tujpreta kafo.
