Particle of instant coffee, eg (7)

I believe the answer is:

granule

(Other definitions for granule that I've seen before include "Tiny bit of instant coffee or sugar?" , "Small particle (of e.g. sugar)" , "Small compact particle" , "Piece of sugar or salt" , "Fine particle" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
