Nutriplus NutriCoffee Chicory Coffee Hindiba Coffee

A cup of NutriCoffee is instant coffee cut with something roasted that is not coffee: 40 per cent soluble coffee, 60 per cent chicory root or barley and rye. Made to Farmasi's own measure, one 2 g sachet in 175 ml of hot water, it lands milder and rounder than straight instant at the same dose, and it is not decaffeinated. The box holds 16 individually packed sachets, 32 g in total, one cup each.

Milder than straight instant, and still coffee

Each 2 g sachet is 40 per cent instant coffee. The other 60 per cent is roasted material that never carried caffeine: chicory root in one version, barley and rye in the other. The drink lands softer and rounder than the same dose of straight instant coffee, with the coffee character diluted rather than removed. It is not a coffee substitute and it is not decaf. Farmasi publishes no tasting note of its own, so a flavour description on a marketplace listing is a seller's opinion, not a specification.

175 ml, stirred, nothing to filter

Tip one sachet into the cup, pour on 175 ml of hot water and stir until the powder is gone and the liquid runs clear. Both parts of the blend are the soluble type, so there is nothing to brew and nothing to filter. 175 ml is a shorter pour than a standard mug, and the figure is Farmasi's own direction for a 2 g dose, so work to it rather than filling a mug. Milk, a whitener or sugar can go in to taste; the same directions treat all three as optional. The 100 g option on this page is the same soluble blend sold loose rather than in single-cup sachets, so it is spooned to taste; the 2 g figure is the sachet's dose, not a measure for the pack.

Two formats on this page: 2 g sachets and the 100 g pack

The 1, 2 and 4 box options are all the 2 g sachet product, sixteen sachets to a box. The fourth option is two 100 g packs of the chicory blend: the same soluble powder, sold loose instead of portioned into sachets. Loose powder is measured by spoon and Farmasi publishes no scoop size for it, so the 2 g in 175 ml direction above is the sachet's dose and the closest published figure there is; use it as a starting point and adjust to taste. The 100 g option here is the plain chicory coffee, not the chicory-and-collagen jar Farmasi sells under a separate code.

Check the code before you order: one blend contains barley and rye

The NutriCoffee name covers two separate 2 g sachet products. Code 9700791 is the grain blend: instant coffee 40%, instant cereal powder 60% (barley powder 30%, rye powder 30%). Code 9700827 is the chicory blend, declared as soluble chicory 60%, soluble coffee 40%. Barley and rye are gluten grains, so gluten sits in the grain blend itself rather than arriving as a possible trace. Some marketplace listings still describe that version as gluten free. It is not. Match the code printed on the box against the code you ordered. Neither product runs to a long ingredient list, and neither declares added sugar, sweetener, milk powder or collagen. Collagen belongs to a different Farmasi item, the 100 g chicory-and-collagen jar. Inulin occurs naturally in chicory root, but it appears on neither ingredient statement.

There is caffeine in every cup, and no milligram figure for it

Nothing here is decaf. Forty per cent of every sachet is instant coffee, so caffeine is in every cup; the remaining 60 per cent contributes none. What nobody can give you is a number. Farmasi does not publish milligrams per sachet, and the figures circulating on resale sites carry no source. Nor is there a published nutrition panel for either 2 g product, which is why you will find no fibre, vitamin or mineral figure on this page.

Who should leave this box on the shelf

Both versions carry the same cross-contamination advisory: traces of milk, soy and gluten are possible. If you have any of those three allergies, that advisory is your answer. Anyone with coeliac disease should avoid the grain version outright, since barley and rye are in the blend and not merely a possible trace. Every version contains caffeine, so if you are pregnant, breastfeeding or have been told to limit caffeine, ask your doctor rather than a product page.

Frequently asked questions

Is Nutriplus NutriCoffee caffeine-free?

No. Both 2 g versions are 40 per cent instant coffee, so every sachet contains caffeine. It is not a decaf product and should not be bought as a substitute for one. Farmasi does not publish a milligram figure per sachet, so nobody can honestly tell you how much a cup contains.

Is NutriCoffee 2 g gluten-free?

The grain version, code 9700791, is not: barley and rye make up 60 per cent of the blend. The chicory version, code 9700827, contains only soluble chicory and soluble coffee, neither of which is a gluten grain, but the pack still carries an advisory that gluten traces are possible. Anyone with coeliac disease should read that advisory as a no.

How many cups does one box make?

Sixteen. The box holds 16 individually packed sachets of 2 g, 32 g in total, and one sachet makes one 175 ml cup. At a cup a day that is a little over two weeks.

Will it help with weight, blood sugar or digestion?

No such claim is made here. This is a hot drink, not a supplement or a treatment, and pages that present it otherwise should be treated with caution. There is no published nutrition panel for either 2 g version, so a claim of that kind could not be supported even if it were wanted.

What is the difference between the sachets and the 100 g pack?

Portioning, not the drink. The sachets are pre-measured at 2 g a cup; the 100 g pack is the same soluble chicory blend loose, measured by spoon. Farmasi publishes a dose for the sachet and none for the pack, so any cup count quoted for 100 g is an estimate rather than a specification.
