I asked, and they replied (quickly, I have to say) to say that they class one cup as one heaped teaspoon. So I’ve recently been told to cut caffeine out of my diet by my doctor as caffeine can affect the prostate gland. While caffeine isn’t a terrible stimulant it still has adverse effects on the body and for some people knowing and regulating their caffeine intake is more important than others, and either way everyone has a right to know what is going into their body.

But what about clear labeling with regards to caffeine per serving, in a way that is easy to measure, such as xxmg per heaped teaspoon? A cup of instant coffee can be prepared quickly and easily, without brewing, since this has already been done in the factory.

I'm no doctor by the way so please don't take anything I'm saying as medical advice, if you think you should be limiting your caffeine intake then please speak to your doctor.
