What to know about Colombian Brew Coffee Assorted Coffee Premix

A cappuccino sachet that is half sugar

A box of four 20 g instant coffee sachets, one each of Cappuccino, Vanilla Caramel, Nutty Hazelnut and Double Chocolate. Each is a 3 in 1 powder built from milk solids, sugar, soluble coffee powder, dried glucose syrup, maltodextrin and coconut fat, with flavourings, phosphate stabilisers and salt. No percentages are declared. It is bought as a quick, café-style cup at home, at the office or on the road.

One sachet makes a cup with 125 ml of hot water and gives 91 kcal. Per 100 g the powder has 455 kcal, 50 g added sugar, 9.5 g saturated fat and 2.5 g protein, and the protein and fibre figures are approximate because the pack prints both as under 1 g per serve. Sodium is low at 90 mg per 100 g, or 18 mg a sachet.

The pack says it uses real milk, and milk solids do lead the list. The hazelnut, vanilla, caramel and chocolate notes come from nature-identical flavours, not from the foods themselves. Sugar is the second ingredient and glucose syrup and maltodextrin add more sweetness and bulk, so the cup is more sweet creamer than coffee. CleanPlate scores it EC5.

Why Colombian Brew Coffee Assorted Coffee Premix scores EC5

Nutrition is an E because protein and fibre are tiny and no vitamins are declared. Ingredients are a C, with phosphate stabilisers and unnamed flavourings costing points. Risk is a 5, led by 51 g free sugar per 100 g.

01 Nutrition density: why E

Protein is about 2.5 g per 100 g and fibre about 2.5 g, both approximate because the pack prints them as under 1 g per 20 g sachet. Energy comes mostly from sugar, glucose syrup, maltodextrin and fat.

No vitamins or minerals are declared, so nothing adds to the grade and it sits at the bottom.

Scored on protein, fibre and twelve vitamins and minerals, against the Codex and FSSAI "source" and "high" levels, per 100 g and per 100 kcal. Protein also has to supply at least 12.5% of the calories to count, and 25% for full credit.

02 Ingredient integrity: why C

Milk solids, sugar and soluble coffee lead the list, then glucose syrup, maltodextrin and coconut fat. No percentages are declared for any of them.

Flavourings with no class stated cost ingredient points, as do the stabilisers sodium phosphates (339) and potassium phosphates (340). No hydrogenated fat is listed, so the declared 0 g trans fat stands. No label promise is hollow, so the grade rests on the additives and the refined base.

Scored on how processed the ingredients are, which additives are used and why, and whether the label keeps its promises.

03 Load risk: why 5

Sugar drives the grade. Free sugar counts as 51.2 g per 100 g, because the glucose syrup's sugar is not in the added-sugar line. One 20 g sachet carries about 10 g of added sugar.

Saturated fat is 9.5 g per 100 g, nearly twice the 5 g high line, and energy is 455 kcal per 100 g. Sodium is low at 90 mg per 100 g and adds little.

Scored on free sugar, sodium, saturated fat and trans fat, each weighed by how strong the evidence of harm is.

Red flags

  • Red flag: High added sugar (50g per 100g)

Does Colombian Brew Coffee Assorted Coffee Premix live up to its claims?

The real milk claim holds, since milk solids lead the list. The hazelnut, vanilla, caramel and chocolate notes are nature-identical flavours, and the retailer page lists fewer ingredients than the pack does.

  • On the pack

    “We Use Real Milk”

    Holds

    Milk solids are the first ingredient. They are also the main source of the small amount of protein in the powder.

  • On the pack

    “Nutty Hazelnut”

    Partly true

    The back of the pack says the flavour is nature-identical. No hazelnut, vanilla, caramel or chocolate is listed as an ingredient, and the same goes for Vanilla Caramel and Double Chocolate.

  • On the pack

    “3 in 1”

    Holds

    The list shows coffee, sugar and a creamy base of milk solids and coconut fat together in one powder.

  • Retail listing

    “Four ingredients on retailer page”

    Be careful

    The retailer page shows only milk solids, sugar, soluble coffee and glucose syrup, but the pack lists nine ingredients, including coconut fat, flavourings, phosphate stabilisers and salt.

What's in Colombian Brew Coffee Assorted Coffee Premix?

Milk solids, sugar and soluble coffee lead the list, followed by glucose syrup, maltodextrin and coconut fat. Watch the sugar, the saturated fat and the phosphate stabilisers.

The ingredient list, read for you

Milk solids come first, then sugar and soluble coffee powder, so the powder is a creamy sweet base with coffee in third place. Dried glucose syrup and maltodextrin add sweetness and body, and coconut fat gives the froth and creaminess. Flavourings give the four flavours, the stabilisers (339 and 340 phosphates) keep the powder mixing smoothly, and salt finishes it.

Ingredients to watch

  • Added sugarConcern

    50 g added sugar per 100 g, about 10 g per sachet, and free sugar counts as 51.2 g because of the glucose syrup. Maltodextrin adds more fast carbohydrate.

  • Saturated fatConcern

    9.5 g per 100 g, from milk solids and coconut fat, so 1.9 g per sachet. That is nearly twice the 5 g high line.

  • Phosphate stabilisersWorth watching

    Sodium phosphates (339) and potassium phosphates (340) are listed, and each costs ingredient points.

  • Flavourings, class not statedWorth watching

    The pack says the flavours are nature-identical, but the list gives only flavourings. That costs ingredient points.

  • SodiumFine

    90 mg per 100 g, only 18 mg in a sachet.

What it doesn’t have

  • No vitamins or minerals are declared on the panel.
  • No percentages are given for any ingredient, so the share of milk and coffee is unknown.

Who should eat Colombian Brew Coffee Assorted Coffee Premix?

An occasional sweet drink at most for adults, and best avoided for children and teens. Anyone pregnant or with a heart condition should check how often it suits them.

  • Most adultsRarely

    10 g added sugar and 1.9 g saturated fat in one 20 g sachet.

  • Children and teensAvoid

    About half the powder is sugar, and it is a coffee drink.

  • PregnancyCheck with your doctor

    It contains coffee, and the caffeine amount is not declared.

  • Heart conditionsRarely

    9.5 g saturated fat per 100 g, nearly twice the 5 g high line.
