How Much Caffeine’s in Your Coffee?

There are many misconceptions about coffee and caffeine content, so here’s a simple explanation of how much is in your favourite cup, from a single espresso to a filter coffee. (Brace yourself for some serious myth-busting in between.)

What Is Caffeine?

Caffeine (or 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine for the chemistry wizards among you) is a natural stimulant found in plants – namely the tea, coffee and cocoa variety.

Caffeine Myths

We’ve broken down a couple of widely held myths…

Grind

Myth 1

“The darker the roast, the higher the level of caffeine”

The caffeine in a coffee bean is the same whether it’s a light or dark roast. The roast level alters the flavour profile of your brew, but doesn’t remove caffeine.

Myth 2

“Decaffeinated drinks have zero caffeine”
