Studies on the radiation level and radionuclide concentration in foodstuffs are available in the literature; however, information on the content of radionuclides in coffee is very scarce. Hence, this research was carried out to the determination of gross alpha and gross beta activity concentration for alpha− and beta−emitting radionuclides in coffee. A planned comprehensive study was dedicated to determine the level of gross alpha and beta radioactivity in different Serbian market coffee using a low level gas proportional counter. The values of the gross alpha activity for all measured coffee samples were below the detection limit. The average value of the gross beta activity in coffee was 384 Bq/kg.
