The caffeine content of coffee can vary considerably depending on several factors, including the type, the brewing method, and the brand.

 

Here’s a small chart showing caffeine content that will give you an idea of how much caffeine there may be in your drink. 

Lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos and Americanos 

 

If you’re a coffee drinker, you probably know that the two most popular species of plant for producing coffee beans are Coffea arabica (known as Arabica) and Coffea canephora (known as Robusta). 

A 2016 study found that Robusta coffee beans typically contain around twice as much caffeine as Arabica beans. 

Caffeine per kg of dry coffee:

Arabica - 34.1–38.5 g  

Robusta - 68.6–81.6 g 

 

Statistics
