“12 Step” “LessKaffeine-Nation” (Caffeine Management) Plan

 

Did you know different coffees have different caffeine levels? And without being able to test the actual level, you can't know what's what about how much caffeine you're getting--even in "dekaff"?!

 

Take heart though! Our R&D is on this problem! Stay tuned! Meanwhile, why not start with our 

 

12 Step” “LessKaffeine-Nation” (Caffeine Management) Plan

 

Week 1

 

Switch to 100% Arabica beans, since coffee not labeled “100 % Arabica beans” contains “Robusta” beans which have more caffeine than Arabica

 

(For both coffee pleasure and reduced caffeine, darker roasts and/or blends are better since darker roasts burn off more caffeine—a reversal of the common misconception that darker is “stronger” in levels of caffeine.

 

In fact caffeine is tasteless! The stronger flavor of dark roast—including espresso--is that of the higher longer temperatures infusing a greater degree of “carmelization” of sugars chemically inherent in coffee beans.

 

BUT espresso can have greater amounts of caffeine because most espressos blend in Robusta beans, which again have higher caffeine content than Arabica beans.) 

 

Week 2

 

Try headache-free “Slightly LessKaff”—Blend 10% dekaff into 90% Kaff

 

Week 3

 

“LessKaff”--1/3 less caffeine, blend one measure  dekaff with 2 measures kaff

 

Week 4

 

Hafkaff—equal measures of Kaff and Dekaff.

 

Week Five-Week 12

 

Either stay with HaffKaff or go to “90-10”—90% dekaff, 10% kaff.
