High Lakes Coffee is versatile for various brewing methods including pour-over, AeroPress, and espresso. Brew a small amount for pre-race, adjusting strength based on your tolerance. The light roast shines in manual methods where you can control extraction for consistent caffeination without stomach upset.

Yes! This light roast is a great entry point for athletes new to coffee as a performance aid. Its gentle acidity and notes of dried fruit make it approachable and stomach-friendly. Start with small doses (about 100mg caffeine) 45-60 minutes before training to assess tolerance.

The caffeine in High Lakes Coffee can enhance alertness, reduce perceived exertion during swim/bike/run, and improve focus. Many triathletes notice better sustained power on the bike and sharpened concentration on the run. However, timing matters—consume 30-60 minutes pre-event with fluid for optimal benefits.

We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee on all whole or ground coffee (as long as the package remains unopened). If the flavor profile doesn't match your preferences or you experience brewing issues with our recommendations, we'll gladly refund or exchange. Customer satisfaction is our priority!

For best results, store unopened bags in a cool, dark place away from heat and light. Once opened, keep in an airtight container at room temperature for 2-3 weeks, or refrigerate for up to 1 month (but let it come to room temperature before brewing). Whole beans last longer than ground—just grind what you need before each brew.

Absolutely! For sprints: one small espresso or 6-8oz pour-over pre-race. Olympic distance: the same morning amount. Half Ironman: add small top-ups during bike if needed. Full Ironman: spread smaller doses throughout. This coffee's clean profile makes it easier on the stomach than energy drinks or gels.
