How much caffeine does your brewing method have?

Brewing coffee is our daily wake-up call, infusing us with the caffeine necessary to kickstart our day with energy (pardon the pun) and alertness. Interestingly, your brew method plays a big role in both taste and caffeine content.

Coffee Machines February 28th, 2024

FRENCH PRESS – 80 TO 100 MILLIGRAMS PER CUP
The French press method yields the highest caffeine concentration, delivering between 80 to 100mg per cup. This is attributed to the agitation the coffee grounds endure during pressing and the extended steeping time in hot water. However, be cautious not to steep excessively, risking a bitter flavour. If bitterness doesn't deter you, the French press is your go-to.

FILTER COFFEE – 60 TO 100 MILLIGRAMS PER CUP
Filter coffee systems produce 60 to 100mg of caffeine per cup due to their gradual extraction process over an extended period. Remember, finer grounds result in higher caffeine extraction, so adjust grind settings accordingly.

AEROPRESS – 50 TO 70 MILLIGRAMS PER CUP
The AeroPress follows with 50 to 70mg of caffeine per cup, utilizing air pressure to force water through grounds and a sieve. Longer brewing times intensify the brew, but moderation is key to avoid bitterness.

ESPRESSO – 30 TO 50 MILLIGRAMS PER CUP
Surprisingly, espresso ranks lower on the scale, yielding 30 to 50mg per cup. Despite its reputation as a potent pick-me-up, it's intended as a concentrated shot. Consider opting for a double shot if you crave a stronger kick.

In summary, each brewing method caters to different caffeine preferences. Embrace the variety, as each has its unique charm!
