About SplitShot
SplitShot was created from a shared passion for coffee and a desire to find balance. Founded by two friends and self-confessed "coffee addicts," the goal was to reduce daily caffeine intake without sacrificing the rich, full-bodied taste they had grown accustomed to. This led to the creation of a unique blend that offers the best of both worlds—smooth, satisfying coffee with just the right amount of kick. SplitShot proves that less caffeine doesn't mean less flavor.

The Science behind SplitShot
We use the gold standard decaffeination process called the "Swiss Water Process". Unlike traditional decaffeination methods that use chemical solvents, the Swiss Water® Process is entirely chemical-free. This method uses pure water, temperature, and time to gently remove caffeine from coffee beans, while preserving the beans' distinct flavor profiles.
Caffeine works by blocking adenosine receptors in the brain. Adenosine is a neurotransmitter that promotes sleep by accumulating in the brain throughout the day, creating a "sleep pressure" that makes you feel tired. By blocking adenosine, caffeine delays the onset of sleepiness, making it harder to fall asleep.
Caffeine increases dopamine levels in the brain, providing a sense of alertness and pleasure. However, over time, this can lead to a tolerance effect, where more caffeine is needed to achieve the same focus-enhancing effects. Reducing caffeine allows the brain to regulate dopamine more naturally, leading to better baseline focus without the need for constant stimulation.
Caffeine increases the release of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter that prepares the body for action, contributing to the "fight or flight" response. While this can boost alertness, it also heightens feelings of anxiety and stress. Reducing caffeine intake helps to lower norepinephrine levels, promoting a calmer, more relaxed state of mind.
Regular caffeine consumption leads to tolerance, meaning the body requires more caffeine to achieve the same energy-boosting effect. Over time, this can lead to dependency, where normal energy levels become reliant on caffeine intake. Reducing caffeine allows the body to reset its tolerance, leading to more consistent energy without needing constant stimulation.
