Product Information

If it said for example xxmg of caffeine per heaped teaspoon of coffee approx, that would make sense. How many servings are there in a jar of NESCAFÉ instant coffee? A standard serving of NESCAFÉ instant coffee in a mug plus 200ml of water, is 1.8g or the equivalent of 1 teaspoon. So, a 100g jar will make approximately 55 mugs of your favourite coffee, 200g will make approximately 111 mugs and so on!. How many cups of coffee are in a 100g jar?

So that's great, tell me how much there is of stuff which of course instant coffee granules are going to contain hardly any of, but leave out the most important active ingredient in coffee, the DRUG caffeine, and leave me to guess how much of that each serving contains.They have given thought to warn consumers about the caffeine content present in any product which isn't labeled as coffee or tea, which contains over 150mg of caffeine per litre, assuming that most people will know that tea and coffee contain caffeine so no warning is required, fair enough. Robusta can contain up to twice the caffeine as Arabica, and even among Arabica varietals there is a difference in caffeine content, so I wonder how the NHS can work this out. But as I continued to research, it dawned upon me that I am not wrong, I'm not missing something, it's simply the case that most big brands do not give any precise information or even any indication as to how much caffeine is in their products. How can anyone watch how much they're consuming when they don't know how much of it is in the coffee they're buying?

This also applies to concentrated or dried drinks that will contain more than 150 milligrams per litre of caffeine when reconstituted. It doesn’t apply to tea and coffee drinks if ‘tea’ or ‘coffee’ are in the name of the food. If it's a case of how dangerous a particular drug is, well surely that depends on the individual and how it is used? Marijuana is legal for medical use now in quite a few US states, so surely it must have some medical benefit in certain cases, otherwise, why would medical use be legal? Some US states have even made it completely legal now, medical or recreational, including Washington and Colorado. I then looked at other jars of instant coffee in various different supermarkets and found the same to be the case.A typical cup of decaf coffee has about 2 mg of caffeine, compared to a typical cup of regular coffee, which has about 95 mg of caffeine. How do Kenco Decaffeinated their coffee? Unless I'm expected to drink dishwater-style coffee, surely how much instant coffee I would add to a mug would depend on the size of that mug? The effect you observed is ground coffee sediment. Whilst rare, this effect does occur occasionally, in a similar way that you may have come across with freshly brewed cafetiere coffee, as we extract the coffee in a similar way, albeit on a much larger scale. This effect is natural and completely harmless, and doesn't alter the taste or aroma of the coffee.

There are high caffeine content warnings now when buying energy drinks such as Redbull and Monster, but these contain less caffeine on average than coffee, so why is the info not there for coffee, given that 80% of UK households buy instant coffee, which I'm sure is a much bigger percentage than the amount of UK households that have cans of energy drink in the fridge? Coffee naturally contains the active supplement caffeine. Normal coffee beans contain between 0.8 percent and 2.5 percent caffeine depending on origin and variety. Decaffeinated coffee is not entirely caffeine-free. In European Community (EC) countries, roasted decaffeinated coffee may contain a caffeine residue of 0.1 percent and coffee extract 0.3 percent. There are two commonly used methods to extract caffeineof which we use Dichloromethane method for our Instant coffee. Mugs can vary in size from about 6 ounce to 17 ounce or even bigger, so if I were making a 12 ounce cup of coffee, for instance, I'd probably use double the amount of coffee, and therefore caffeine, than I would if I were making a 6-ounce cup. This involves the UK government too, the NHS, and UFOs. Flying Saucer. Hehe. Image credit Mr Thinktank.It just seems odd to me that this information isn't given, and that there is no legislation to cover it. They also said they can't divulge the Robusta to Arabica percentages in any of their coffees as it's confidential recipe information, fair enough. I tip till it looks about right in the bottom of the mug. TWO HEAPED teaspoons is just right! one level 15ml measuring spoon, consistency is everything. How many cups of instant coffee are in a jar? Where caffeine has been added to a food product (other than a drink) for a physiological purpose, the words ‘Contains caffeine. Not recommended for children or pregnant women’ on the label. They all tell you how much fat there isn't, how much sugar there isn't, how much salt there isn't, but the one thing coffee certainly DOES contain, is caffeine, they completely ignore. Strange?
