Coffee
Coffee is low risk in a normal serving and a good everyday choice for most people with gout. A typical 240 g serving is essentially purine-free.
General information, not a substitute for advice from your doctor or dietitian.
This purine value is inferred, not measured directly for this food. See the sources note below for how it was derived.
How much can I eat?
Even a large serving stays well under a day's purines.
Coffee is an easy choice to keep on hand.

Why grade A
Linked to a lower risk of gout, and associated with lower serum urate; genetic (Mendelian randomization) evidence suggests much of the benefit may act through pathways other than lowering urate.
Per 100 g and processing
Per 100 g (for comparison)
Low for gout (< 50 mg/100g).
Low for gout (< 3 g/100g).
Processing: NOVA 1 of 4 (unprocessed or minimally processed). How processing affects the grade.
Diet is part of the picture, not all of it
For most people the body makes the majority of its own uric acid. Food contributes the smaller share. Eating well lowers your risk and helps you feel in control, but for many people diet alone does not bring uric acid down enough to stop flares. Medication often does the heavy lifting. Use these grades to make easier daily choices, and work with your doctor on the full plan.
