- didibus 6y agoFair point, I have no idea of the real numbers, so I edited to say "some". My point was more to say that there are other beverages and foods with high caffeine contents, so when you take them all into account, there's probably more children being given caffeine then we think.
- olyjohn 6y agoNone of those drinks have anywhere near the caffeine of coffee, though. An energy drink of some kind probably does though.
- jiofih 6y agoThat’s not true. ~100mg in a cup of coffee, 40mg in an espresso shot, the same 40mg in a can of Coca-Cola (and ~60mg in Diet Coke).
- smileybarry 6y agoCaffeine in an espresso shot (and conversely one cappuccino) is ~63-77mg[1], and one can of Coca-Cola & Diet is 32mg & 42mg[2]. [1] Nespresso is 63mg (5g of coffee), "average" espresso is 77mg (7g of coffee) https://www.caffeineinformer.com/caffeine-content/espresso https://www.caffeineinformer.com/caffeine-content/espresso [2] https://www.coca-cola.co.uk/ingredients/caffeine/the-caffeine-in-your-can https://www.coca-cola.co.uk/ingredients/caffeine/the-caffein...
- didibus 6y agoIt would seem some espresso do have the same caffeine as a can of coke, some even clock in less, but ya on average it seems to have about double the amount. That said, most coffee shop serve double espressos as standard, so if you factor that in, it seems on average your cup of cappuccino might have four time the caffeine than a can of coke.
- smileybarry 6y agoThat's true, forgot about that part (and why I take them into account as "2 shots" in my max daily coffees). There's also a couple Nespresso (maybe Keurig and others, too) capsules with double the caffeine content: Kazaar and Napoli.
