How much caffeine is in Sumatra Lintong Coffee?

Each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains approximately 86 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 Sumatra Lintong 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 Sumatra Lintong Coffee be extracted?

Extract for 2:45-4:00 depending on method using French Press, 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 Sumatra Lintong 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 Sumatra Lintong 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 245 of the 345 other drinks in the catalogue, and weaker than 98.

That is 86 mg in a 8 oz cup (240ml) serving — a concentration of 35.8 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.
