Barrie House Intensity Coffee Meter

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:


Intensity meter 10




Intensity meter 9




Intensity meter 8




Intensity meter 7




Intensity meter 6




Intensity meter 5




Intensity meter 4




Intensity meter 3
