Is the coffee higher in caffeine?

I do not think the caffeine is higher because after you make the concentrate, you will dilute it with water 3 parts to 1 part coffee. I do, however, find it to be less acidic and that is a plus for me. Just be sure to follow the directions regarding the grind. Too fine a grind will clog the filter for proper draining. I hope this helps you decide.

Another perspective on this question is that caffeine is very heat-sensitive. Caffeine may be extracted from the grounds more efficiently with heat, but it also degrades rapidly and gives overcooked coffee that nasty bitterness. Cold brew may have more caffeine in the long run, simply because the caffeine isn't breaking down nearly as fast as when it is extracted the usual hot-water way.

I don't think so and see no reason why cold brewing would increase the caffeine. I have been using it for 4 months and I have not noticed anything that would indicate the caffeine was higher. It is SUBSTANTIALLY lower in acid and tastes great.

You have control of caffeine content. The more concentrate you use, the higher the caffeine content. You will have to experiment.

I'm no chemist and haven't tested caffeine levels, but for equal levels of coffee flavor, it seems to be the same. The Toddy makes stronger coffee, so you don't need as much cold brewed coffee extract in a latte...but if you make it taste the same, I would guess the caffeine level is what you're used to. I don't notice a difference

No, I believe it actually has a slightly lower caffeine level. It still delivers the kick I need in the morning, though, but not quite as sharply. :-)

It pretty much depends on how long you cold brew. After about 3 hours the caffeine levels (per ounce) are roughly equal. With hot (roughly boiling temperature) water you can achieve effectively 100% caffeine extraction in about 1 minute. This is why drip coffee contains so much caffeine (120-150mg per 8oz cup) and espresso has considerably less (on the order of 80-90mg/oz due to the shorter time to brew - about 20-30 seconds)With cold water the extraction takes much longer, but is effectively 100% by 2-3 hours depending on how coarse/fine the grounds are. For the Toddy, I generally give it no less than 12, and sometimes up to 72 hours to brew, so I would expect 100% caffeine extraction at any rate. Enjoy!

There are several theoretical answers to this question. I checked with some professional nutrition journals and the closest I came to an answer was a study published in the Pakistan Nutrition Journal. Higher water temperature increases the solubility of caffeine markedly. The time factor would increase the amount of caffeine dissolved also. The two effects may cancel out each other to make no significant difference between cold and hot brewed coffee. The time effect isn't as dramatic as the temperature effect, this leads me to think there is slightly less caffeine in the cold brew. I have been using the cold brew for both regular and decaffeinated. I don't feel a big difference between my cold brew and hot brew regular coffee. The cold brew gives a better product as there is little to no bitter after taste. There is no sure way to know unless a real study is done. Hope this helps.

Yes. That's the best part of it. Also, great flavor. I add it to my coffee when I want more caffeine.

No. I bought it because I liked the flavor. Some of the other flavors do have caffeine. (Black Cherry, ect.)

I have read that Starbucks coffees have less caffeine than your average cup of coffee at a convenience store.

I don't know the answer. I know that it contains coffee and caffeine, but does not say the source of either.

Scientifically I canot say yes or no, however, it it provides temproary alertness which is similar to dringking coffee so I guess is it contains caffiene.

No. In fact I have noticed that the coffee tastes better than the drip machines. Try it and see how your coffee tastes!

I don't know the specifics to your question, but this is a coffee chicory blend and this lowers the caffeine content. I hope that helps.

it does because it is a pure coffee bean so it naturally has caffeine in it. however, i don't think it has much because I can't handle very much caffeine but I have zero problems with this particular product and i even take it before bed sometimes.

I do not think so....It does not make me feel like I drank some coffee and I'm not a caffeine drinker.....maybe one soft drink at supper.

The amount of caffeine is not listed on the package. You might want to contact cho-wa.com to find out by calling customer service.

I believe it has some caffeine naturally. I have not been jittery from these, though.

No... there is no caffeine. It has powdered milk & soy milk & non-dairy creamer

100mg caffeine - just talked to the company today. It's a little more than a cup of coffee:)

This particular roast (Columbian Peaks) DOES have the caffeine...look for the green label Eight O'Clock for decaffeinated beans! Eight O'Clock The Original Decaf Whole Bean Coffee, 24 Ounce

I do not know the caffeine content but I do know this is a great strong coffee. Two mugs in the morning and I stop as it has me going strong. I get this coffee every month because I enjoy it so much.
