ReportEvery morning you do the Frankenstein walk to the kitchen. Still semi-conscious, you reach up into the cupboard and grab your favorite K-Cup Pod. As you fill your mug, your eyes are fixed on the slow, teasing stream of dark coffee pouring from my Keurig brewer. Soon the energizing elixir is ready to be enjoyed. You may add milk, sugar, then sip. Viola! The caffeine in the K-Cup Pods jolts your senses, and you're ready to take on the world. However, as we have come to find out, when it comes to caffeine in K-cups, not all are created equal. Depending on the brew you’re putting into your Keurig maker, the caffeine amount can vary greatly. Personally, I like a good caffeine jolt to kick-start my day. While some of the bolder blends are a bit too complex for my taste, some of the milder blends just don’t have the deep flavor I like. That’s why when I choose my K-Cup blend, I take a few things into consideration. The Facts about Caffeine in K-CupsThe standard cup of coffee has 120 mg of caffeine in an 8 fl oz cup. However, an 8 oz cup of coffee from a standard 2 oz K-Cup contains between 100-140 mg of caffeine. Most K-Cups consist of 2 tablespoons of ground coffee which equals 2 ounces of coffee. SEE ALSO: Caffeine Content in Coffee, Tea, Beverages, and MoreExtra bold blends have 30% more ground coffee in them (2.6 tablespoons) then regular K-Cups. Some of the higher caffeine yielding blends include:
Which one is right for you? It really depends on how much caffeine you prefer and the type of flavor you like in your coffee. Your best option is to go to your local coffee shop and experiment with different kinds. Once you find the one you like, purchase it in bulk packages of K-Cup Coffee. No matter what your preferences is, there’s no denying that the caffeine in K-Cup Coffee is a huge part of why we love coffee so much. In fact, caffeine is the most widely consumed psychoactive substance in the world. It enhances our alertness and decreases sleepiness: two things we all need in the midst of our busy days. Starbucks has some of the highest caffeine amounts of any coffee chain. These charts were compiled using data from Starbucks in-store leaflets, their website, their app, and from independent laboratory tests. It’s a big job keeping this up to date – there are over 750 variations listed on this page! Caffeine in coffee can vary (due to coffee bean origin and blend used) and may be more or less than the amounts shown.

Note: The caffeine amounts in Teavana retail teas are found here. Starbucks K-CupsStarbucks standard K-Cup coffee pods have on average 130 mg of caffeine per 8 fluid ounce cup. Starbucks 2X (2x caffeine) pods (formerly Starbucks Plus) have 260 mg per 8 fluid ounce cup. The 2X variety contains coffee and additional coffee extracts. Lighter roasts will contain slightly more and darker roasts, slightly less. But, all coffee pods will vary in caffeine so 130 mg and/or 260 mg is the average amount to expect. How Many Shots?The caffeine amounts of the espresso-based drinks show that a Tall Latte (and Cappuccino) has just a single shot of coffee. For a 12 oz cup size – this is quite weak and has considerably less caffeine than a brewed coffee of the same size. Most conscientious coffee vendors serve at least a double-shot in drinks over 8 ounces. Most provide double-shots (by default) in regular takeaway cups. This is because many takeaway cups tend to have more volume than their china or crockery counterparts. Starbucks Caffeine Deception?In 2020 a class-action lawsuit was filed against Starbucks claiming that they are cheating customers out of caffeine. The suit alleges that most customers believe a larger sized cup means more caffeine. However, their espresso-based drinks – both the short and tall as well as the grande and venti – have the same number of shots (and therefore the same amount of caffeine). What people are paying for is more milk and syrups and not more espresso. The suit claims that this is fraud under California law. This practice is typical of many coffee chains that have a set espresso shot formulation when making drinks. Customers should be aware of how many shots are in each size cup. Starbucks does a great job of publishing caffeine information but many people don’t have the app or our website up when standing in line to order.

Tazo Tea CaffeineIn 2017 Starbucks phased out Tazo tea, and replaced with the Teavana brand. For reference purposes the caffeine amounts of Tazo Tea are still listed below. See more about caffeine in black tea here.
How Accurate Are These Amounts?Starbucks makes it clear that “caffeine information is approximate and is based on limited analytical data.” and also that “Values can vary greatly based on the variety of the coffee and the brewing equipment used.” They publish caffeine amounts in their online menu and also the app. Here are a few independent tests that showed some discrepancies from what Starbucks lists. In 2017 BuzzFeed found Starbucks Brewed Coffee to average about 17 mg/ounce or 272 mg per 16 fluid ounces (Grande). This is about 60 mg less than what Starbucks reports. However this was just a single test. Beware: Decaffeinated Drinks Still Contain CaffeineDecaffeinated isn’t the same thing as caffeine-free. A 2006 lab test of Starbucks coffee showed the following:
