How Much Caffeine is in a Cup of Coffee?

The amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the type of coffee bean, the roast level, the brewing method, and the serving size. Below are general ranges to give you an idea of the caffeine

content in a typical cup of coffee:

 

• An 8-ounce (240-milliliter) cup of coffee can contain anywhere from 30 to 150 milligrams of caffeine.
• A 12-ounce (360-milliliter) cup of coffee can contain anywhere from 30 to 200 milligrams of caffeine.
• A 16-ounce (480-milliliter) cup of coffee can contain anywhere from 60 to 300 milligrams of caffeine.

Keep in mind that these are rough estimates, and the actual caffeine content of your coffee can vary depending on the factors mentioned above. Specialty coffee drinks, such as lattes and mochas, may also contain additional caffeine from ingredients like chocolate and espresso. It is always a good idea to check the label or ask the barista if you are concerned about your caffeine intake.
