How much caffeine is in Guatemala Huehuetenango Washed Coffee?

Each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains approximately 92 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 Huehuetenango Washed 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 Huehuetenango Washed Coffee be extracted?

Extract for 4:00-5:00 using Chemex, at a ratio of 60g coffee per Liter, prepared at Medium. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Guatemala Huehuetenango Washed 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 Huehuetenango Washed Coffee?

People sensitive to caffeine, sleep disruption, anxiety, or reflux may prefer a smaller serving or earlier timing. Use individualized guidance for pregnancy, medication interactions, allergies, reflux, or other health concerns. Do not use a beverage as a replacement for prescribed care; preparation strength can change exposure. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.
