Coffee meet Prebiotics

Why Prebiotic Plant Fibre Belongs in Your Brew

Coffee is comfort: the warmth in your hands, the deep, familiar aroma, the first sip that kicks off the day. Focus when you need it, a pause when you don’t.

Turns out coffee’s been quietly working behind the scenes for you too. Research shows it’s packed with polyphenols—plant compounds with antioxidant properties that support brain function, heart health and longevity. It may help reduce inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, and stimulate the production of dopamine and serotonin. Coffee's looking after you in ways you may not have expected. 

But what if it wasn’t just quietly good for you? What if it was actively working with your body in a way that changed how you felt—beyond energy, beyond taste?  That’s where prebiotics come in. Not an extra step, not a compromise—just coffee, upgraded.


What Are Prebiotics, and Why Should You Care?

Prebiotics are plant fibres that feed the good bacteria in your gut. Unlike probiotics (which introduce new bacteria), prebiotics help the ones already in your system thrive. The result?

  • Smoother digestion – Less bloating, less drama.

  • Stronger immunity – Because gut health and immune health go hand in hand.

  • Better mood – The gut-brain connection is real, and good bacteria can help balance it.

A little prebiotic boost is an easy win. No effort, no overthinking—just an upgrade to what you’re already doing.


Why Coffee is the Perfect Prebiotic Partner

Coffee and prebiotics? Makes more sense than you’d think.

  • It’s consistent – You already drink coffee every day. Now, it does more for you.

  • It’s a stable base – Prebiotics thrive in coffee’s pH. Unlike sodas or juices, it’s a gentler environment for them to do their thing.

  • It actually tastes better – Prebiotic fibres bring natural sweetness, body, and smoothness, rounding out coffee’s edges in all the right ways.


The Fibre Gap—and How Coffee Can Help

Most adults in the UK should be getting 30g of fibre a day. Most don’t (it’s closer to 20g). That’s where prebiotic coffee comes in.

A can of Nolo’s Decaf Cold Brew packs almost 7g of fibre—over 20% of your daily intake. Just by drinking coffee. No sad powders. No weird drinks. Just an easy, seamless way to do better by your gut.


What’s in Nolo’s Prebiotic Blend?

Nolo’s prebiotic blend isn’t a gimmick. It’s three key plant fibres that work together to support your gut—while making your coffee even smoother.

  • Jerusalem Artichoke – Packed with inulin, a powerful prebiotic that feeds good gut bacteria.

  • Oat Fibre – Great for digestion, great for cholesterol, great for keeping you fuller for longer.

  • Citrus Fibre – Gentle on digestion, naturally sweet, and gives Nolo its velvety texture.

Together, they make your cold brew better in every way—taste, texture, and gut benefits, all in one.


A Smarter Way to Brew

Coffee already does a lot. But what if it could do more? What if the thing you drink every morning actually looked after you?

That’s what Nolo’s prebiotic cold brew is about. No caffeine crashes. No unnecessary extras. Just deep, smooth, gut-friendly coffee that keeps up with you.

Because coffee should do more than wake you up. It should have your back.

Let's drink to digestive health.
