Coffee, powder, instant

Instant coffee powder is dried coffee extract intended to be dissolved in water. The figures here describe the dry powder, not a prepared drink. Per 100g, it provides 320 kJ of energy, 15g of protein, 330mg of magnesium and 3780mg of potassium. It also contains some carbohydrate, with only trace amounts of fat.

Potassium contributes to normal nerve and muscle function, while magnesium supports muscle function and energy metabolism. The amount of these nutrients in a cup depends on how much powder is used. Adding milk or sugar changes the nutrient content of the prepared drink. Full nutritional figures for the powder are given in the tables below.
