According to the EFSA (European Food Safety Authority), a maximum intake of 400 mg of caffeine per day is considered safe for adults. This is equivalent to approximately 5 cups of filter coffee.

No, decaf is not 100% caffeine-free. A cup of decaf coffee usually still contains 2-5 mg of caffeine, depending on the method used to remove the caffeine.

No, that is a misunderstanding! Lightly roasted coffee beans often contain more caffeine per gram than dark roasted beans, because the longer roasting time does not increase caffeine, but actually breaks it down slightly.

The best time to drink coffee is between 9:30 and 10:30 am. At that moment, your natural cortisol level begins to drop, making caffeine more effective.

Yes, immediately after waking up your cortisol level is at its highest, which makes coffee less effective and causes your body to build up a tolerance to it more quickly. It’s better to wait 30 to 60 minutes before drinking your first cup.

For a percolator, it is best to use a medium-coarse grind. Coffee that is ground too finely can make the coffee taste bitter and clog the percolator, while coffee that is too coarsely ground will result in a weak brew.

A medium to dark roasted coffee is ideal for a percolator. These roasts provide a full, rich flavour that suits the extraction method of the percolator perfectly.

A good guideline is 1 part ground coffee to 10 parts water. For example: for a 6-cup percolator, use approximately 30-35 grams of coffee and 300-350 ml of water.

No, but make sure that the coffee is not ground too finely. Some brands offer coffee specially ground for percolators, but you can also buy beans and grind them yourself to a medium-coarse consistency.

That depends on the model. Stainless steel percolators often work on induction, while aluminium models are usually not compatible. Check if the bottom is magnetic or use an induction adapter.

Store coffee beans in an airtight and lightproof container in a cool, dark place. A vacuum container or a special coffee canister with a valve works best to preserve freshness.
