Coffee Savoring Facts and Fixes

By Holly Bentz

All caffeinated coffees are not brewed equally. Gauging daily intake can prove to be a little challenging. Be it the harvest climate, the type of roast, to the ground's coarseness, coffee beverages come in different doses of caffeine.

About the Coffee Cultivation --
Coffee grows in climates in varying temperature and humidity levels. As a result, cultivation conditions such as; soil consistency, impact the amount of caffeine in the plant. Dissimilar to the rich, robust essence of dark roast coffee beans, they are less caffeinated than their lighter roast counterparts. The longer beans are roasted, the more time the caffeine has to burn off.

Robusto and Arabica beans are the most popular coffee plant varieties. Although Robusto is not as aromatic and as expensive as Arabica, Robusto offers more oomph for the buzz. With more caffeine, Robusto out-buzzes Arabica ounce for ounce.

About the Coffee Brew --
Brewing is verisimilar to tanning. The longer coffee is brewed the more caffeinated is steeped. Since Espresso is deeply roasted and rapidly brewed, it contains less caffeine than a slow dripped French roast. For instance, a doppio (Italian for double espresso) is equivalent to an eight-ounce cup of coffee.

Coarser grinds generate tinier surfaces on coffee grains, enabling caffeine to absorb the coffee bean into the brew. For coffee lovers requiring more caffeine, a burr grinder is ideal if you don’t mind the work involved in cleaning the appliance.

Coffee grinding tip: To savor a mellower cup of Joe, purchase a blade grinder.

When it comes to drinking coffee on a regular basis, size really matters. As people age, they become more sensitive to caffeine. Not to mention, coffee can be downright harsh on the central nervous system. Coffee experts suggest that 100 milligrams, one cup of Joe is enough to stimulate a manageable caffeine high.

Coffee flavor savor: To lock in the rich taste of coffee, keep it from exposure to air by storing it in a sealed bag or container in the freezer.
