How much caffeine is in Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy Volcanic Coffee?

Each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains approximately 85 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 Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy Volcanic Coffee?

Target 93°C (200°F). Below this range the cup tends toward sourness and thinness from under-extraction; above it, bitterness rises faster than sweetness.

How long should Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy Volcanic Coffee be extracted?

Extract for 3:00 minutes using Hario V60 or Kalita Wave Pour-Over, at a ratio of 1:15 Ratio (16g coffee to 240g water), prepared at Medium. Time and ratio move together: a heavier dose generally wants a shorter contact time.

Why does my Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy Volcanic 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 Hawaiian Kona Extra Fancy Volcanic Coffee?

Ensure the packaging states "100% Kona Coffee" — cheap "Kona Blends" contain only 10% genuine beans. High price point makes it an occasional luxury rather than an everyday option. This is general educational information, not medical advice — consult a qualified healthcare professional about your own circumstances.

That is 85 mg in a 8 oz cup (240ml) serving — a concentration of 35.4 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.
