Stir Tchibo instant coffee granules into a cup of hot water until dissolved. A medium teaspoon is about 2 g; use more or less to adjust the strength to your taste. You do not need a coffee machine.
Yes, Tchibo instant coffee contains caffeine. The amount varies with the product and how much coffee you use, so there is no single figure that applies to every cup; check the specific pack if it provides caffeine information.
Yes, Tchibo instant coffee can dissolve in cold water, but it takes more stirring than with hot water. For iced coffee, first dissolve the granules in a little warm water, then add cold water or milk and ice.
No, Tchibo instant coffee is soluble coffee granules, not ground beans. It dissolves in water, so there are no grounds to filter or leave in the cup; ground coffee needs brewing and usually filtering.
No, Tchibo instant coffee is meant to be dissolved directly in water, not brewed in a drip machine or espresso machine. Add the granules to your cup and pour in hot water instead.
Keep Tchibo instant coffee tightly sealed in a cool, dry place after opening. Moisture can make the granules clump and dissolve poorly, so avoid storing the jar beside a kettle, sink, or other source of steam.
Yes, you can make Tchibo instant coffee with milk. Dissolve the granules in a little hot water first, then add warmed milk; this helps prevent undissolved granules and gives you control over how milky the drink tastes.
It can: the caffeine in Tchibo instant coffee may make it harder to fall asleep or stay asleep, especially if you are sensitive to caffeine. Choose a caffeine-free drink or have your coffee earlier if it affects your sleep.
Dissolve Tchibo instant coffee in a small amount of hot water, then pour it over cold milk or water and ice. Dissolving the granules before adding ice gives a smoother drink than stirring them straight into a very cold glass.
No, Tchibo instant coffee by itself does not automatically cause weight gain. Plain coffee contributes little energy, while additions such as sugar, flavored syrup, or cream can substantially increase what is in the finished drink.

Tchibo instant coffee is made from brewed coffee extract that has been dried into granules, so it dissolves readily in hot water. It is a convenient option when you want coffee without brewing equipment, whether at home, at work or while travelling.
Stir the granules into hot water and adjust the strength to taste; milk or a sweetener can be added, though it is also commonly served black. In places where filter coffee is a daily staple, it offers a quick alternative, while elsewhere it can be used as an easy base for iced coffee. Plain coffee is low in calories and provides caffeine. For a lighter cup, keep added sugar and cream modest.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
