Coffee 101

What Type of Coffee Has the Most Caffeine?

☕️ Coffee fuels many of us daily, but not all coffees are created equal when it comes to caffeine content. Let's explore the key factors that influence caffeine levels and determine which coffees pack the biggest punch.

The Answer: Robusta Coffee!

Robusta beans contain nearly double the caffeine of Arabica beans.

Understanding Coffee Bean Types

Arabica Beans:

Subtle flavor with lower caffeine (80-100 mg per 8 oz)

Mild, nuanced flavor with notes of fruit, chocolate, and caramel


Robusta Beans:

Bold taste with higher caffeine (150-200 mg per 8 oz)

Stronger, more bitter taste that can stand up to added milk and sweeteners

Coffee Roasts and Caffeine Levels

Myth-busting: Dark roasts don't have less caffeine than light roasts. Roasting degree has minimal impact on caffeine content.

Caffeine Content by Coffee Type

 

 Coffee Type Caffeine (mg per 8 oz)
Brewed Arabica 80-100
Brewed Robusta 150-200
Espresso 60-75 (per 1 oz shot)
Cold Brew 153-238
Instant Coffee 27-173
Decaf Coffee 2-12


Brewing Methods and Caffeine Concentration

Espresso:

Concentrated brewing process packs a major caffeine punch (60-75 mg per 1 oz shot)


Cold Brew:

Extended steeping time extracts more caffeine (153-238 mg per 8-12 oz serving)

Finding the Right Balance

Find a flavor profile you enjoy
