French press and percolator coffees contained intermediate diterpene levels, ranging from 86.8 mg/L to 91.2 mg/L for cafestol and 68.7 mg/L to 69.2 mg/L for kahweol.

For comparison, espresso samples contained the highest diterpene levels (up to 2,447 mg/L of cafestol), while boiled coffee also showed high concentrations (939 mg/L).
