Coffee is generally permitted during Passover, but it is important to check how the coffee is processed and what ingredients may have been added. Plain unflavored coffee beans or ground coffee are usually acceptable, while flavored or instant coffee products may contain additives that are not suitable for Passover. Many people prefer to purchase coffee that carries a reliable Kosher for Passover certification to avoid any risk of contamination with chametz.
