Our caffeine levels have been lab tested based on the caffeine per gram of coffee. The above caffeine levels are for the above grams of coffee which are average weights by brew method.
Please note caffeine levels vary from batch to batch as well as with the grind type and brew method. 300-400mg of caffeine is the max RDA, depending on your weight. We recommend swapping to a half-caf or decaf from 3pm.

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.

Us Vs Them
Want to be able to manage your caffeine with your coffee? This is how we compare vs the rest.
caffeine facts you need to know
How does caffeine work?
Caffeine stimulates the central nervous system, increasing alertness and reducing fatigue.
How long does caffeine stay in your system?
It takes 6 hours for 50% of the caffeine in your system to be metabolised and 12 hours for 75%. So a full caf afternoon coffee is still in your system at bedtime.
Caffeine's affect on dopamine release
Caffeine can be a mood booster by blocking adenosine receptors and increasing dopamine signalling.
Caffeine Sensitivity Varies:
Some people are highly sensitive to caffeine and can feel jittery or anxious even with small amounts, while others can tolerate large doses without noticeable effects.
