How much caffeine is in Nitro Cascade Cold Brew Coffee?

Each 12 oz glass serving contains approximately 205 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 Nitro Cascade Cold Brew Coffee?

Target 15°C (59°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Nitro Cascade Cold Brew Coffee be extracted?

Extract for 18-24 Hours Immersion using Cold Brew Keg with N2 Charger Tap, at a ratio of 1:8 Brew Ratio (100g coarse coffee to 800ml water), prepared at Extra Coarse (French Press / Rock Salt size). Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Nitro Cascade Cold Brew 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 Nitro Cascade Cold Brew Coffee?

Caution for caffeine-sensitive individuals: 12oz glass contains >200mg caffeine. Avoid late afternoon/evening consumption to protect sleep architecture. Not recommended for people with untreated hypertension. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.

That is 205 mg in a 12 oz glass serving — a concentration of 57.7 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.
