Coffee Selection Impact
Roast Level Effects
- Light roasts: Higher caffeine content, faster absorption
- Medium roasts: Balanced caffeine and flavor compounds
- Dark roasts: Lower acidity, smoother consumption
Origin Considerations
- Single-origin coffees provide consistent effects
- Blend variations may alter performance outcomes
- Seasonal changes affect caffeine levels
- Processing methods influence absorption rates
Check our medium roast collection for optimal balance between caffeine content and digestibility.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
Problem: Jitters or Anxiety
- Solution: Reduce initial dose by 25%
- Alternative: Switch to slower-absorbing preparation method
- Timeline: Results visible within 2-3 days
Problem: Afternoon Energy Crash
- Solution: Implement Phase 2 timing protocol
