How much caffeine is in AeroPress Travel Drip Coffee?

Each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains approximately 90 mg of caffeine. For comparison, a standard 8 oz cup of brewed drip coffee contains around 95 mg. Actual content varies with dose, water temperature, and contact time.

What temperature should I use for AeroPress Travel Drip Coffee?

Target 85°C (185°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should AeroPress Travel Drip Coffee be extracted?

Extract for 2 minutes steep and press using AeroPress (Inverted or Standard Method), at a ratio of 15g coffee per 220ml water, prepared at Medium-Fine. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my AeroPress Travel Drip Coffee taste bitter?

Bitterness almost always indicates over-extraction. Shorten the contact time, lower the water temperature slightly, or grind coarser. Change one variable at a time so you can tell which one was responsible.

Who should avoid AeroPress Travel Drip Coffee?

Be careful when pressing down to prevent slipping or spills. Paper filters are required (or a metal mesh disk alternative). This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.

Where it sits

Stronger than 264 of the 345 other drinks in the catalogue, and weaker than 64.

That is 90 mg in a 8 oz cup (240ml) serving — a concentration of 37.5 mg per 100 ml. The scale above ranks whole servings, and servings differ in size, so a larger drink can sit further right while being weaker cup for cup.
