What kinds of coffee can you buy on Pesach?☕️

one of the most common questions we get asked to the OU is what is the story with coffee for pesak so it depends on what type of coffee the OU guide to pesak or OU guide to Passover contains two sections one is those products that require an op and OU kosha Passover symbol and the other section are those that are acceptable for PESA with just a plain OU we recommend Consulting the directory unflavored raw regular caffeinated coffee beans are acceptable for PES once flavors are added the flavors can be problematic from a Kus perspective and therefore we cannot recommend any flavored coffee beans for PESA decaf beans are problematic because they use ethy acetate which is an alcohol derivative sometimes that can be from KET or from a kidne source in terms of instant coffee those are much more complicated often times there's multiex which is added as a flow agent to the instant coffees which can simply be either kidne or humet recommend visiting our website www.wor.org or using the osher app and we'll list all the various instant coffees that are available for pesak
