upvoted_answer: Making instant coffee is the same process as making a cup of coffee from grinding your own beans - at least the first part of it before the drying.
  
  How is instant coffee made
  
  So if I want a mild cup of coffee, I use less coffee grind. There are other variables that can be played with along with the amount of grind: extraction time, extraction temperature, bean roast level.
  
  You can probably make your cup of instant less mild by adding an extra spoon or so of instant. Simulating (?) more coffee grind.
