Barrie House has adopted a coffee intensity meter as a way to inform customers of the end taste experience of our coffees and help them select an item easier. The intensity of a coffee is determined by the degree of roasting, its body and its bitterness; but bears no relation to the percentage of caffeine in the coffee.
The Barrie House scale ranges from 10 to 3. Below are the intensities associated with some of our coffees:
Colombian Reserve, Costa Rican Tarrazu, Hawaiian Kona Hapa, Mocha Java Coffee, Jamaican Mountain Breeze, Kenya AA, Organic Ethiopian Sidamo-DP
Mexico-Select Fair Trade Organic, Jammin Jamaican, French Vanilla, Salted Caramel (All our flavored coffees)
