The caffeine content in coffee can vary significantly based on factors such as brewing method, grind size, and water temperature. The Caffeine Extraction Rate (CER) is a measure of how much caffeine is extracted from the coffee grounds into the brewed liquid.
The formula to calculate the Caffeine Extraction Rate is:
Amount of caffeine in the final brew (mg) = The amount of caffeine dissolved in the brewed coffee
Total amount of caffeine in the coffee grounds (mg) = The total caffeine content in the coffee beans used
Understanding your Caffeine Extraction Rate can help you optimize your brewing process to achieve the desired caffeine kick.
