Abstract

Coffee must be rated as one of the most important commodities in the commercial world due to the statistics or output and consumption. There are various brands and kinds of coffee produced by the different growers and roasters. Now to sell the brands, the various concerns base their advertising upon the flavor and price of the coffee. It is a fact that the flavor of coffee is in some way affected by the caffeine present. One popular brand is advertised as decaffeinated, that is, the caffeine has been removed. Confronted with these facts, it occurred to the author to test various coffees for their caffeine content and make comparisons of the various brands and types. For experimentation the Santos, Mexican, Bogota and Mocha brands were used. Although the results obtained by the author in the experiments may not be absolutely accurate, nevertheless, they can be used for comparison.
