How much caffeine is in Guatemala Antigua Bourbon 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 Guatemala Antigua Bourbon Coffee?

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 Guatemala Antigua Bourbon Coffee be extracted?

Extract for 2:45-4:00 depending on method using Batch Brew, at a ratio of 60g coffee per Liter of water, prepared at Medium-fine. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Guatemala Antigua Bourbon 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 Guatemala Antigua Bourbon Coffee?

Caffeine and serving strength vary with dose, preparation, and individual sensitivity. Use individualized guidance for pregnancy, medication interactions, allergies, reflux, or other health concerns. 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.
