Our coffees are roasted daily and shipped to you at peak flavour. We aim to deliver all our coffees within 2-7 days of roasting so you get the best flavour for as long as possible.
- For stronger caffeine: Increase coffee dose rather than over-extracting
- For milder caffeine: Choose half caf or decaf, or reduce coffee weight
- Consistent dosing: Use scales for repeatable caffeine levels, but tablespoons work in a pinch
- Time awareness: Remember our recommendation to switch to half caf or decaf from 3pm for better sleep
- 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.
