No. With fresh coffee you need something to help it brew and filter out the ground beans. There are a number of good stove top style ones (especially good for Espresso), filter coffee makers, electric percolators or French press/cafetiere.

Instant coffee is essentially dried coffee and not beans. The beans won't dissolve.

Ground coffee does not dissolve, that's the first thing. Instant coffee is made by a complex process of extracting the parts that dissolve from the beans, using water to dissolve that out and then drying it again to get solid instant coffee. If you put ground coffee in a mug and add boiling water, you will get grounds in the bottom. You also need about twice as much as with instant because you've got the whole bean, not extract of bean.

There are various ways of doing this. You can make coffee in a pan and be careful pouring it out so you don't get gritty bits in your mug. Or pour it out through a very fine sieve. Or buy a cafetiere and make coffee in that. What a cafetiere does is that you have a glass pot with a lid that has a fine sieve attached. You put the coffee in the pot, add hot water, put the lid on with the sieve pulled up, leave it for a few minutes to brew, then slowly push down the plunger. The sieve pushes the grounds down to the bottom, and now you can pour out the coffee. Or (though this is the expensive answer) buy a coffee machine!

If you just grind the beans finer, you'll get a sludge in the bottom. Turkish coffee is like this, made very strong in small cups.

instant coffee dissolves, real coffee does not. you pour hot water over the ground beans and brew it like tea, then run the whole mix through a filter and then you have coffee. you should really just buy a coffee pot tough. you add water and a paper filter, the machine does the rest.

I hope this is a bad attempt at trolling,because you can't be that daft!
