If you take all of those factors together, the highest-caffeine coffee is going to be light-roasted, finely ground Robusta (as in Turkish-ground or espresso-ground) coffee, that is been steeped in either a drip filter coffeemaker or French press for five minutes or longer. Drip coffee ranks at the lower end, whereas cups made with French presses are almost twice the amount of coffee in drip. If we are comparing coffee drinks, then drip is a better choice; however, espresso has more caffeine per volume compared to coffee that is been brewed (drip). While an espresso drink has more caffeine per ounce (80mg in a 2oz serving), there is a much larger standard consumption unit for drip coffee (the cup vs. the shot) (e.g., a 12-ounce standard mug).

How much caffeine is in a normal cup of coffee?

An espresso usually contains only 50 milligrams in the shot, whereas a cup of drip coffee easily contains 200 milligrams of caffeine. For reference, a 12-ounce can of caffeinated soda usually contains 30-40 milligrams of caffeine, an 8-ounce cup of green or black tea 30-50 milligrams, and an 8-ounce cup of coffee closer to 80-100 milligrams. For example, an 8-ounce cup of green tea contains about 28 milligrams of caffeine, whereas a similar serving size of black tea contains about 47 milligrams of caffeine. A single shot of espresso, and drinks made with espresso, contains 75 mg, and an 8-oz cup of decaf coffee contains around 15 mg of caffeine.

How Much Caffeine In A smaller (ten-ounce) decaf

A smaller (ten-ounce) decaf contains 53 mg of caffeine, and a larger (24-ounce) cup contains 128 mg. That is nearly the same amount of caffeine found in a typical coffee. An espresso from McDonalds contains 71 mg of caffeine per serving, whereas a decaf contains 8-14 mg per cup. So, whereas a regular cup of brewed coffee has about 95 mg of caffeine, a decaf cup has much less caffeine, usually about 2 mg (although much lower amounts can go up to 7 mg). You do the math, about 95mg of caffeine makes up about one-fourth of the recommended caffeine intake for a day.

The short answer is that a medium cup of steeped coffee contains about 95 milligrams of caffeine, whereas any espresso-based drink or drink has 63 milligrams of caffeine in just one espresso shot, and 125 milligrams in just one double espresso shot. In general though, it is true that a cup of ordinary drip coffee, arabica with a medium roast, would contain about 120 milligrams of caffeine while a 30ml espresso shot, which has an espresso roast and arabica beans, would have around 120 milligrams of caffeine. With a French press brewing method using stronger coffee beans, one cup of coffee could have much more caffeine than a cup that is been brewed moderately, so you might want to just try using less grinding when you are making coffee. A 16-ounce cup of decaf from Starbucks still has around 12.5 milligrams of caffeine, whereas Starbucks decaf espresso has a wider range - between 3 and 15.8 milligrams per serving.
