1. For stronger caffeine: Increase coffee dose rather than over-extracting
2. For milder caffeine: Choose half caf or decaf, or reduce coffee weight
3. Consistent dosing: Use scales for repeatable caffeine levels, but tablespoons work in a pinch
4. Time awareness: Remember our recommendation to switch to half caf or decaf from 3pm for better sleep
5. Grind fresh: Always grind just before brewing for the best flavour and caffeine extraction

All caffeine levels are lab-tested estimates based on 4.5g per tablespoon. Individual sensitivity varies, and we recommend staying within 300-400mg daily depending on your weight and tolerance.
