Frequently Asked Questions About Malt coffee powder
What is Malt coffee powder made from?
Malt coffee powder is typically made from roasted malted barley, not coffee beans. It is a processed powder made by roasting and grinding the malt, then mixed with water to make a coffee-like drink.
Does Malt coffee powder contain caffeine?
No. Malt coffee powder is caffeine-free because it is made from roasted malt rather than coffee beans. Its roasted flavor resembles coffee, but it does not provide the caffeine boost of brewed coffee.
How do you prepare Malt coffee powder?
Stir Malt coffee powder into hot water until it dissolves. Follow the serving directions on the package, and mix as you add the powder to help prevent lumps.
Can Malt coffee powder replace regular coffee?
Malt coffee powder can replace coffee as a warm, roasted-tasting drink, but it is not a like-for-like caffeine substitute. It is caffeine-free and has a grain-based, malty flavor rather than coffee’s bean-derived taste.
What does Malt coffee powder taste like?
Malt coffee powder tastes roasted and grain-like, often with a mild sweetness and less bitterness than coffee. The exact flavor varies with the malt’s roast and any other ingredients in the particular product.
Does Malt coffee powder dissolve in cold water?
It may dissolve less easily in cold water than in hot water. For an iced drink, first stir Malt coffee powder into a small amount of hot water, then add cold water or milk and ice.
Can you drink Malt coffee powder at night?
Yes, Malt coffee powder can be a suitable evening drink for people avoiding caffeine, since it is caffeine-free. Adding sugar or a sweetened creamer will make the drink sweeter, but does not add caffeine.
Can children drink Malt coffee powder?
Children can have Malt coffee powder as an occasional drink, but it is not nutritionally necessary. Because it is commonly made from barley malt, it is not suitable for children who need to avoid gluten.
Can Malt coffee powder be used in baking?
Yes, Malt coffee powder can add a roasted, malty note to baked goods such as cakes and cookies. Start with a small amount so its flavor complements rather than overwhelms the other ingredients.
How should you store Malt coffee powder after opening?
Keep Malt coffee powder tightly sealed in a cool, dry place after opening. Moisture can make the powder clump and dull its aroma, so use a dry spoon and close the package promptly.

What is Malt coffee powder?
Malt coffee powder is made from roasted malted grains, commonly barley, and dissolved in hot water or milk to make a coffee-style drink. It is caffeine-free, with a toasted, malty flavour that is generally milder and slightly sweeter than coffee. Similar drinks have long been enjoyed as coffee alternatives in parts of Europe.
Serve it hot at breakfast or as an evening drink; milk softens its roasted notes, while water gives a lighter cup. The powder is mostly carbohydrate, with 8 g of fibre per 100 g. For a less sweet-tasting drink, try it without added sugar, or pair it with milk for a creamier finish.
