Weak black filter coffee has a lower caffeine content (typically 40-60mg per 200ml) and fewer chlorogenic acid polyphenols than average-strength coffee. It suits those sensitive to caffeine or reducing their intake while still benefiting from the polyphenols and ritual of coffee. It is virtually calorie-free when drunk black.
A good transitional option for those reducing caffeine intake. The polyphenol benefits of coffee are dose-dependent; weak coffee provides less than average or strong preparations.

* % Daily Value is the proportion of an adult
EU Nutrient Reference Value (NRV) supplied by 100g of this food.
NRVs are the labelling standard — the same basis as the “%RI” figures printed on
food packaging — so these percentages are directly comparable with a shop label.
They are a single adult figure and do not vary by age or sex, which is why they
sometimes differ from UK dietary reference values: the NRV for vitamin C is 80mg
where the UK RNI is 40mg. When Nutriofia assesses your own intake in the
reports and trackers, it uses the age- and sex-specific UK values instead.
Fibre is shown without a percentage. Our fibre values use the UK
Englyst NSP method, while the published 30g daily goal is an AOAC figure — the two
are measured differently and a single percentage would mislead.
