How much caffeine is in a Mountain Mudd Espresso Drink?

Each shot of espresso has approximately 50 mg of caffeine, so a double shot latte still has less caffeine than a cup of brewed coffee.  At Mountain Mudd each specialty coffee beverage is made to order, so we do not automatically add x number of shots to y sized drink.  If you would like a 20 oz. latte with a single shot, or a 12 oz. latte with four shots of espresso; our professional barista will gladly handcraft it for you.

Which method of decaffeination does Mountain Mudd use?

Our roaster uses the SWISS WATER® Process, which is a taste-driven, 100% chemical free decaffeination process that delivers coffee that is 99.9% caffeine-free while protecting the unique origin characteristics and flavor. Most other processes use chemical solvents, like Methylene Chloride or Ethyl Acetate to decaffeinate coffee beans. SWISS WATER® Process uses a diffusion process which allows the gentle displacement of caffeine from green coffee. Green beans are soaked in our Green Coffee Extract (GCE) which is pure water saturated with soluble solids from green coffee.  With time and temperature, the caffeine migrates out of the green beans into the Green Coffee Extract (GCE). The water is filtered, capturing and extracting the caffeine molecules. The flavor and body of the coffee is protected by closely monitoring the solids, caffeine levels and moisture in the coffee. The process takes approximately 10 hours resulting in green beans that are 99.9% caffeine-free. Once the decaffeinated beans are removed from the GCE, they are then dried, finished, bagged and shipped – ready to be roasted by premium and discriminating roasters.

Differences between drinks

Espresso:  Thick, rich, and unadulterated, espresso is created from the pressurized push of water through tightly packed finely ground coffee, using a specialized machine. Espresso is the basis for Latte’s, Mocha’s, Cappuccino’s, and Americano’s.

Café Latte: The most popular espresso drink has espresso, steamed milk, topped with a layer of milk froth (a thick meringue-like foam), and often paired with one of our gourmet flavored syrups.

Mocha: A café latte blended with our chocolate sauce and topped with whipped cream and sprinkles.

Cappuccino: Espresso with steamed milk and lots of foam.  A “Wet” cappuccino has more steamed milk, and a “Dry” cappuccino has mostly dense froth from steamed milk.

Americano: Espresso with hot water, hotter than brewed coffee.

Steamer: Milk of choice steamed to the perfect temperature to caramelize the milk sugars to a sweet intensity and often paired with a shot of gourmet flavored syrup.

Granita: Ice-cold delightful granular slush, can come flavored in Coffee, White Chocolate, Coffee Toffee or…

Italian Soda: Club Soda and gourmet flavored syrup.  Can be “creamed” with half-and-half and topped with whipped cream for a decadently delectable treat.

What are Single Serve Pods

We are hoping to develop pods or K-Cups in the future for home use.
