In this study, the use of green corrosion inhibitors extracted from coffee husks was investigated on mild steel materials in acidic medium. Phenolic compounds from coffee husks were extracted using acetone solvent, characterised and investigated for their corrosion inhibiting properties. The FTIR and 1H-NMR technique were carried out to characterise the present phenolic compounds extracted from purified coffee husks. The corrosion inhibition efficiency of phenolic compounds from coffee husks extract on mild steel in 1.0 M HCl was evaluated by using weight loss method. The obtained results showed that corrosion rates decreased with the increase of inhibitor concentration, temperature and immersion time. The  optimum inhibition efficiency of 86.5% at 25 oC was obtained with a concentration of 400 mg/L (400 ppm) of coffee husks extract in two hours of experiment. The observed inhibition efficiency was attributed to the physical adsorption mechanism of phenolic compounds on mild steel surface through charged ion formation from protonation of lone pairs of oxygen in phenol or ionic dissociation of carboxylic acid functional group that formed a charged layer over mild steel surface. Furthermore, it was pointed out that the adsorption process obeyed the Langmuir adsorption  isotherm model at all investigated temperatures between 25 and 40 oC.
