Frequently Asked Questions About Instant coffee drink powder
How do you make instant coffee drink powder?
Mix instant coffee drink powder into hot water and stir until it dissolves, using the serving directions on the package. You can adjust the strength to taste, but adding extra powder also increases the amount of sweetener in many blends.
Does instant coffee drink powder contain caffeine?
Yes, instant coffee drink powder usually contains caffeine because it includes coffee. The amount varies with the blend and serving, so check the package if you are limiting caffeine or find that coffee affects your sleep.
Can you make instant coffee drink powder with cold water?
You can, but instant coffee drink powder may dissolve less smoothly in cold water. Stir it first into a small amount of warm water, then add cold water and ice for a less lumpy iced drink.
What is the difference between instant coffee drink powder and instant coffee?
Instant coffee is generally soluble coffee with no added sweetener, while instant coffee drink powder is often a sweetened coffee mix. Check the ingredient list: the drink powder may include sugar and flavourings, so it is not a like-for-like substitute.
Can you mix instant coffee drink powder with milk?
Yes, instant coffee drink powder can be mixed with milk instead of water. Warm the milk gently and stir in the powder, or dissolve the powder in a little hot water before adding cold milk for an iced drink.
Does instant coffee drink powder have added sugar?
Many instant coffee drink powders are sweetened, so they can contain added sugar. The amount and ingredients differ between products; check the nutrition label and ingredient list rather than assuming every blend is equally sweet.
How should you store instant coffee drink powder after opening?
Keep instant coffee drink powder tightly sealed in a cool, dry place after opening. Moisture can make the powder clump and affect its flavour, so use a dry spoon and avoid storing it near a kettle or other source of steam.
Why does instant coffee drink powder clump instead of dissolving?
Instant coffee drink powder commonly clumps after absorbing moisture, or when it is added straight to a large amount of liquid. Keep it dry and stir it into a small amount of hot water first to make a smooth paste.
Can instant coffee drink powder be used in baking?
Yes, instant coffee drink powder can add coffee flavour to baking, but it also brings sweetness and other ingredients that plain instant coffee may not. Reduce other sugar only after considering the recipe and the powder’s sweetness.
Is instant coffee drink powder the same as a coffee creamer mix?
No, they are not necessarily the same. Instant coffee drink powder is a sweetened coffee beverage mix, while a coffee creamer mix may contain little or no coffee; compare the ingredient lists to see what each product provides.

What is Instant coffee drink powder?
Instant coffee drink powder is a quick-preparation mix for a sweetened coffee-style drink. Stir it into hot water rather than brewing it like ground coffee; depending on the product, it may also be made with milk for a creamier cup.
It suits busy mornings or an afternoon break, and is often served with a biscuit or other small snack. The flavour tends to be sweet and mild rather than strongly roasted. It is mostly carbohydrate, with 92 g per 100 g, so a measured serving helps keep the drink modest in sweetness and energy. Check the pack directions, and skip extra sugar unless you prefer it sweeter.
