What it is

Soluble coffee, also known as instant coffee, is a beverage made from dried coffee extract. It is produced by brewing roasted coffee beans and then removing the water through drying processes like spray-drying or freeze-drying.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add soluble coffee to provide a coffee flavor in a convenient, shelf-stable form. It is commonly found in powdered drink mixes, coffee creamers, baked goods, and frozen desserts.

Health notes

Soluble coffee is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It contains caffeine, which can have stimulant effects. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated coffee and caffeine, and their safety at typical consumption levels is supported by scientific evidence. Research on coffee consumption has linked it to various health outcomes, but the evidence is complex and ongoing.

Allergen info

Soluble coffee is not derived from any of the FDA's major allergens. It does not contain gluten.
