                                According to the USDA, an 8-ounce cup of instant coffee typically contains about 63 mg of caffeine, whereas a standard 8-ounce cup of brewed coffee can have 95 mg or more. This difference confirms that there is not as much caffeine in instant coffee as regular coffee, and the discrepancy is largely due to how each is produced.
