✦ Lower caffeine: ~40-60mg per mug ✦ Fewer polyphenols than average ✦ Suits caffeine-sensitive individuals ✦ Almost calorie-free black

Weak black filter coffee has a lower caffeine content (typically 40-60mg per 200ml) and fewer chlorogenic acid polyphenols than average-strength coffee. It suits those sensitive to caffeine or reducing their intake while still benefiting from the polyphenols and ritual of coffee. It is virtually calorie-free when drunk black.

Preparation note

A good transitional option for those reducing caffeine intake. The polyphenol benefits of coffee are dose-dependent; weak coffee provides less than average or strong preparations.
