How much caffeine is in Kenya AA Blackcurrant Filter Coffee?

Each 8 oz filter cup (240ml) 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 Kenya AA Blackcurrant Filter Coffee?

Target 94°C (201°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Kenya AA Blackcurrant Filter Coffee be extracted?

Extract for 3:00-3:30 using V60 Pour-Over, at a ratio of 62g/L (20g coffee to 320g water), prepared at Medium-fine. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Kenya AA Blackcurrant Filter 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 Kenya AA Blackcurrant Filter Coffee?

High perceived acidity and caffeine may not suit every drinker. Use a smaller dose or another style if the cup feels too intense. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.

That is 95 mg in a 8 oz filter cup (240ml) serving — a concentration of 39.6 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.
