Brewing CBD Coffee – How?

Written by Megan Lane and John Marchese 

In the past four years, the market for purchasing and selling CBD coffee has been booming. More than 79% of people have voted: The best caffeinated beverage is coffee.

Now imagine sipping on a cup of joe without the anxiety, jitters or crash you’re used to. CBD relieves the unwanted side effects that coffee lovers hate but tolerate on a regular basis.  

The popularity and availability of CBD products have exploded since hemp-derived goods were legalized on a federal level. This chemical compound, also known as cannabidiol, is one of more than 120 cannabinoids found in the hemp plant.

Cannabidiol, AKA, CBD, has therapeutic benefits and there’s scientific evidence supporting the theories behind how CBD reacts with the brain and body. Multiple scientific studies support the theory that consuming CBD products can reduce seizures in individuals with epilepsy.  

CBD Coffee Is Trending In Coffee Culture 

Most people purchase CBD coffee, tinctures and edibles to ease or eliminate the presenting symptoms of many health conditions. There isn’t a ‘high’ after consumption. With CBD, you reap the benefits with minimal psychoactive effects.

The concept of infusing coffee beans with hemp-derived cannabinoids was a game changer. Taking a holistic approach to modern medicine has gained a ton of popularity in the last decade.

In the cannabis industry, the act of infusing pantry goods and everyday products with cannabinoids is far from rare. CBD coffee companies in Austin and other places are primarily making hemp-infused everything because of cannabidiol’s unique medicinal properties. Edibles are a popular choice among cannalovers, and drinks like CBD or D8 coffee are garnering more attention. 

CBD coffee promotes wakefulness. The evidence that states this fact is plentiful. Cannabidiol contains properties which can help you to better focus and concentrate. When infused with coffee beans, there’s a multitude of benefits that can assist people with other issues like distraction, anxiety, depression, indigestion, seizures and more. 

Consuming cannabidiol, the unabbreviated name for CBD, can help you feel like the best version of yourself in every possible way. Recent studies show that almost 50% of people forget to take their prescription pills at least once a month.

Who doesn’t drink coffee in the morning and throughout the day? Brewing a pot is impossible to forget. Have you ever forgotten to make your go-to coffee in the a.m.? 

The person who invented the idea of brewing CBD with small batches of premium coffee beans is a literal genius. And the brands that micro-roast batches in the United States and contribute a portion of the proceeds to helping the homeless are brilliant and compassionate.

You may wonder, ‘What does CBD coffee taste like?’ Perhaps this is surprising, but the flavor isn’t an acquired taste. In fact, CBD-infused coffee tastes much better, according to many hemp consumers. 

Finding your fave cannabinoid isn’t the most simple task. You’ll undergo trial and error, especially since over 100 cannabinoids are in existence. But there’s more than 10,000 reasons you should give CBD or D8 coffee a shot.  

The Top Three Methods For Brewing CBD Coffee

French Press

• Add 4 tablespoons of ground coffee (50 g) to your French press.
• Pour 3 cups (750 g) of hot water (not boiling) over the coffee and stir.
• Cover the press with a lid and the attached plunger. But don’t plunge yet!
• Let the coffee steep in the press for four minutes and then plunge the plunger.
• Sip and enjoy. 

CBD Coffee Drip

• Add 1 or 2 tablespoons (15-25 g) of ground coffee per 8 ounces (236 ml) of water.
• Add your desired tablespoons of medium-coarse ground coffee in the filter basket.
• Fill the brewer with the right equivalent of water to the mark.

CBD Coffee Pour-Over

• We recommend using a fine metal filter rather than a paper filter to allow for more CBD oils to pass through and to preserve the aroma, flavor, and body.
• Add 1 ½ tablespoon (20 g) of medium-coarse ground coffee to the filter.
• With a gooseneck kettle, pour ¼ cup (40 g) of hot water over the grounds and watch the coffee “bloom”.
• Continue pouring water slowly until all grounds are saturated. This should take about 15 seconds. Give the coffee an additional 30 seconds to drip before moving on to the second pour.
• Slowly pour ¾ cup (260 g) of water over the grounds then remove the filter.

We do not recommend infusing our cold brew!

If you want to know how much CBD should be in your coffee, the answer’s dependent on you. Are you seeking euphor entirely on what you like. But some people who have made coffee long ago have suggested certain combinations and amounts that might help you find the right recipe.

Finding the right dose often requires some trial and error. There’s no such thing as the “right” starting dose. But you can start slow until you find your “sweet spot,” the dose that’s perfect for you. 

  is 5 to 7.5 mg per cup of CBD-infused coffee is best. This is because it has been shown that small amounts of the substance give you energy, making it a great addition to your coffee.

Based on experience, anything less than 5 mg can be hard to notice and often won’t get rid of the negative effects of caffeine. 

Some sources also say that the CBD can provide people with adequate levels of fiber, plant protein, vitamins and minerals. This is especially important for those who skip breakfast when they’re on-the-go. 

Drinking a cup of CBD coffee can:

• Serve as a natural antioxidant

• Promote heart and brain health 

• Minimize the chances of getting liver cirrhosis

• Help people sleep better

• Provide natural pain management 

• Subdue headaches and migraines 

• Alleviate stress and sadness

You’re probably thinking, ‘Why should I drink CBD coffee?’ Well, the list of benefits is practically endless. The timeframe for experiencing the relaxation is generally much quicker than medications like Motrin.

D8 coffee and CBD cold brew kick in within 10 minutes for some fortunate people, and the majority of consumers feel the onset 30–60 minutes after consumption.  

How long does CBD coffee last, though? Once your cannabis-infused cup of joe takes effect, the results last for up to six to eight hours. Does anything beat that? Seriously let us know!
