Instant coffee (Nescafe) and non-dairy creamer (Coffee- Mate) are commonly consumed beverages all over the world.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of consumption some instant coffee drinks on carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and total testosterone (T.T) of the experimental rats.

Samples of different types of instant coffee were analyzed to identify their active substances.

Effect of instant coffee on (CEA), (T.T) of experimental rats were studied.

Results showed that chemical analysis of caffeine level, chlorogenic, and antioxidant values recorded lower level in Mix (3X1) type than classic type of coffee.

While, acrylamide showed the high percentage in Mix (3x1) type.

Consumption induced significant increase (P<0.05) in.

Glucose, (TC) and (TG) levels in mix 3x1 groups, opposite to the classic groups.

(CEA) was also increased in both types of coffee in comparison with control.

While, (T.T) were significantly decreased at the highest concentration of mix 3x1.

Histopathological, hepatic vacuolation with inflammatory cells, besides congestion and dilatation of blood vessels were detected.

It could be concluded that coffee supplied miserable effect on consumer.
