Tag: Instant coffee measurements

According to a standard conversion chart, 8 fluid ounces of water is equal to 48 teaspoons. However, this simple calculation does not apply to instant coffee because it is a dry ingredient measured by weight, not liquid volume, creating confusion for many home brewers.

According to NESCAFÉ's official guidelines, a standard serving for a mug of instant coffee is one heaped teaspoon, which typically equates to 1.8g to 3g of granules, depending on the product. However, the perfect amount is a matter of personal preference, and can be easily customized for a stronger or milder flavor.
