This blend has medium-high caffeine levels. Making this the perfect winter warmer coffee to give you a boost on those cold mornings.

Single espresso (7g): 62mg (15% of daily allowance)
Double espresso (18g): 158mg (40% of daily allowance)
Filter (15g): 132mg (33% of daily allowance)

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

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.
