A single shot of Cuban coffee often packs a caffeine punch, generally containing a similar amount of caffeine as a standard espresso, around 40–80 milligrams [1, 2]. The intense concentration, brewing method, and serving style all contribute to its strength.

According to the ingredient list found on bottles and cans, Materva Yerba Mate Soda contains caffeine, derived directly from its yerba mate extract. This fact confirms that the beloved Cuban soda is not caffeine-free, despite its unique herbal flavor profile.
