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?

Why not Liofiliza kafo ?

It always surprises me when I hear of couples who use Esperanto in their domestic life. It seems to me that they must either not talk about certain things, or use ad hoc terms, or have a constant headache as to how to name certain things in Esperanto.
The pattern of usage for Esperanto means that there all sorts of things from everyday life, which don't have regular names. Sometimes the naming of an article is obvious, but often not.
Maybe 'instant coffee' is a good example of this difficulty, maybe not. I can't recall ever hearing another Esperantist name this in conversation, but perhaps tujpreta is an established usage.
However nobody could argue that there are Esperanto supermarkets. Even the word for supermarket is somewhat problematic with the variants supervendejo, supermarkto, superbazaro, ĉiovendejo, magazenego and so on all having some claim.
Incidentally, logically, superbazaro is a shopping mall or complex, not an individual supermarket. In a bazaro you pay many times as you shop to individual shopkeepers or stall-holders, there is not one check-out for the whole complex.
EDIT: there are no hits in the Tekstaro for 'tujpret', 7 for 'supervendej' and 4 for 'superbazar' 2 for 'ĉiovendej'. Wells gives solvebla for instant (coffee etc)
