Caffeine
Definition
Caffeine is an alkaloid extracted with water. Arabica beans hold roughly 1.2% by dry mass; robusta about twice that. Brew method and contact time change how much ends up in the cup. Population guidelines (FDA ~400 mg/day, EFSA 3 mg/kg, pregnancy often 200 mg) are not medical advice. These calculators estimate milligrams from dose and a simple extraction factor — they do not assay your beans.
