How much caffeine is in Yemen Matari Coffee?

Each 8 oz cup (240ml) serving contains approximately 80 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 Yemen Matari 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 Yemen Matari 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 Yemen Matari 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 Yemen Matari 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.

That is 80 mg in a 8 oz cup (240ml) serving — a concentration of 33.3 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.
