Summary

This instant coffee product contains only two ingredients: instant coffee and natural flavor. While the presence of natural flavor can be a concern due to its lack of transparency, the overall ingredient list is minimal and clean. The product is processed at a low level, which supports a higher score, but the inclusion of natural flavor slightly reduces its rating compared to a completely unflavored coffee.
