Hey Brew Crew,
Staring at an intensity number and wondering what it actually means? Let’s clear the air.
Myth buster: higher intensity does not mean a bigger caffeine kick. Caffeine comes from the bean itself, not how dark we roast the poor thing.
Intensity is purely about flavour depth, body, and roast punch. High numbers mean deep, dark, roasty chaos. Lower numbers bring out lighter, brighter, fruity magic.
(Pod drinkers: bean and pod ratings work the same way, but grinding fresh beans gives your face an even bigger flavour slap!)
Here is the quick breakdown to find your daily soulmate.
