Understanding Caffeine Strength
The most important factor affecting caffeine content is the weight of coffee used, not the brewing method. Here's how it works:
- More coffee = More caffeine: Using 30g (6.5 tablespoons) instead of 22g (5 tablespoons) increases caffeine by approximately 36%
- Brewing method matters less: The extraction efficiency varies only slightly between methods
- Personal control: You can easily adjust caffeine levels by changing the coffee dose
Quick Caffeine Reference:
- Light caffeine (under 50mg): Single espresso from any coffee, or any decaf brew
- Moderate caffeine (50-150mg): Double espresso, standard V60, half caf options
- Higher caffeine (150mg+): French press with full dose, or increasing coffee weight in any method
Grind Size Guide:
- Fine (like table salt): For espresso machines - allows proper extraction under pressure
- Medium (like caster sugar): For pour over methods like V60 - balanced extraction
- Coarse (like sea salt): For French press - prevents over-extraction during long steeping
Pro Tips:
- 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.
What we do differently
Why caffeine control matters
-
Healthy Habits
Caffeine clarity helps you stay within recommended daily limits (400mg for most adults), protecting against anxiety, jitters, and cardiovascular stress.
-
Sip Smart and Sleep Smart
Understanding your caffeine intake helps you taper your caffeine consumption which can disrupt sleep cycles, leading to better rest and recovery.
-
Avoid the Energy rollercoaster
Knowing caffeine amounts lets you maintain consistent energy throughout the day without the crash-and-burn cycle of overconsumption.
