Tag: Instant coffee facts

According to analyses, instant coffee powder can contain anywhere from 20 to over 40 milligrams of caffeine per gram, depending largely on the bean type and roasting level. This means a 1g coffee pouch will contain a moderate, but not insignificant, amount of caffeine that varies by brand.

According to NESCAFÉ's official FAQs, a 2-gram serving of NESCAFÉ Gold instant coffee contains between 50mg and 90mg of caffeine. While labeled as an "instant espresso," it does not contain a specific number of true espresso shots, as it is made from dehydrated coffee rather than being a concentrated liquid extraction.

While many assume decaffeinated coffee is completely devoid of caffeine, regulations only require the removal of at least 97%. This means a cup of NESCAFÉ decaf is not entirely caffeine-free but contains significantly less than its regular counterpart.
