How much caffeine is in Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Kochere Natural?

Each 8 oz cup (240 ml) serving contains approximately 95 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 Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Kochere Natural?

Target 93°C (199°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Kochere Natural be extracted?

Extract for 4–5 min using Pour-Over or AeroPress, at a ratio of 60g per litre water, prepared at Medium (Filter). Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Kochere Natural 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 Ethiopia Yirgacheffe Kochere Natural?

Caffeine sensitivity: moderate-high; one cup per day if caffeine-sensitive. Sleep: avoid after 2 pm. Pregnancy: limit to one cup per day per EFSA 2015 guidance. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.
