Myth #1:
Coffee dehydrates you.
āļø While caffeine is mildly diuretic, coffee contributes to your daily fluid intakeāit doesnāt cancel it out.
Myth #2:
Dark roast has more caffeine.
āļø Roast level affects flavor more than caffeine. In fact, light roasts often have slightly more caffeine by volume.
Myth #3:
Cold brew is weaker.
āļø Cold brew can actually pack more caffeine due to its high coffee-to-water ratio during brewing.
šæ Alternatives for Cutting Back
Decaf Coffee

Cold Brew
Because cold brew uses a slow steeping process, itās naturally smoother and lower in acidity, which may make it easier on the stomach. Try our Cold Brew Sachets and dilute with water or milk to control caffeine strength.
