For instance, some say 1-2 teaspoons, so if that's the case, if I put two teaspoons in then that's double the amount of caffeine, and if I use two teaspoons of 100% Robusta then that would be up to quadruple the amount as one teaspoon of 100% Arabica?

We blend Arabica and a handful of Robusta beans together for a rich, yet smooth and rounded taste. Next we golden roast them to reveal the gentle caramel flavours and bring out the distinctive, sophisticated aroma. What brand of coffee has the strongest taste? When I asked them to clarify, what they mean by a “serving”, they clarified that they are referring to a 1.8-gram teaspoon of instant coffee. The above info is all fine if I was asking about warnings on coffee products or safety information, but what I have asked about is the labeling of instant coffee in respect of sharing the caffeine contents per cup/teaspoon, it doesn't seem that the food standards agency have given this much thought. 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? 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.According to caffeine informer, when it comes to 100% Arabica, there is on average 145mg of caffeine in an 8 ounce (227ml) cup of drip/filter coffee, and 107.5mg in the same size cup of cafetiere coffee, and 77mg in a single shot of espresso, and double that of course in a double shot. I don't smoke it by the way (or anything else) in case you were thinking that I was biased in some way. I'm no doctor by the way so please don't take anything I'm saying as medical advice, if you think you should be limiting your caffeine intake then please speak to your doctor. Drinks that contain more than 150 milligrams per litre of caffeine with the words will have ‘High caffeine content. Not recommended for children or pregnant or breast-feeding women’ written on the label. This involves the UK government too, the NHS, and UFOs. Flying Saucer. Hehe. Image credit Mr Thinktank.

Instead, it doesn't tell me anything about caffeine but tells me that there is a trace of salt and fat in a “serving” of coffee.

I then looked at other jars of instant coffee in various different supermarkets and found the same to be the case. 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?

When it comes to speciality coffee from small batch roasters, (like my own The Coffeeworks) we know exactly what coffee it is, most of the time it's 100% Arabica, which makes it easy to work out, and if it's an espresso blend with Robusta, roasters usually tell us what the % is, so we can work it out there or thereabouts. The unmistakable taste and aroma that we all know and love is still as good as ever. Our signature coffee has a medium-dark roast that gives it a full flavour and wonderfully invigorating taste. What is difference between coffee and Nescafe? Confusingly, gold instant coffee blends are different to ‘gold coffee’. Pioneered by an American company called Golden Ratio, gold coffee is a type of ultra-light roasted coffee It’s said to be up to five times less acidic than regular coffee and it comes in pouches, just like tea. What is different about NESCAFÉ Gold? Selling or possessing other naturally occurring drugs could land you in prison, so why is it that one naturally occurring drug is completely illegal in the UK, but another one can be sold in supermarkets within products without any information regarding how much of the drug it actually contains?

The laws regarding food labeling that apply in the UK are based on European Union (EU) legislation, and are governed through the Foods Standards Agency (FSA). Discover remarkably unique instant coffees you can make anytime the moment is right. From regional roasts to full-bodied flavored coffee, explore the rich variety of NESCAFÉ Instant Coffee. Which instant coffee has the most caffeine UK? Espresso has 63 mg of caffeine in 1 ounce (the amount in one shot), according to Department of Agriculture nutrition data. Regular coffee, by contrast, has 12 to 16 mg of caffeine in every ounce, on average. That means that ounce for ounce, espresso has more caffeine. Which coffee is stronger light or dark? 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.

But again, how can they know this without knowing roughly how much coffee is used per cup, since the serving suggestions can be 1-2 teaspoons per cup, one of which is 100% more than the other?But I did discover something very surprising, and this is the apparent disregard by the big coffee brands when it comes to communicating the content of caffeine in instant coffee brands to their customers, and the fact that there appears to be no obligation for them to do so. By the way, if you're ready to leave the instant behind and up your coffee game, see: 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.
