What it is

Instant coffee is made from brewed coffee beans that have had the water removed. Microground coffee is finely ground roasted coffee beans. Both are used to make coffee beverages quickly.

Why it's used

These ingredients are used to create coffee-flavored products and beverages. They are often found in powdered drink mixes, specialty coffee beverages, and dessert-like coffee products.

Health notes

Instant and microground coffee are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for their intended use. Caffeine, a natural component of coffee, is a stimulant that can affect alertness and sleep. Regulatory bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated coffee and its components. Evidence on the long-term health effects of coffee consumption is extensive and ongoing, with studies suggesting both potential benefits and risks depending on individual factors and consumption levels.

Allergen info

Coffee itself is not one of the 9 FDA major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
