Tag: Caffeine measurement

A single shot of espresso from a major coffee chain can contain approximately 75mg of caffeine. But beyond this specific example, the question of exactly how much coffee is 75mg depends heavily on the preparation method, bean type, and serving size.

While an 8 oz K-cup typically contains between 75 and 150 mg of caffeine, a 12 oz brew will have a different concentration and total amount due to the brewing process. Determining exactly how much caffeine does a 12 oz K-cup have depends on several factors beyond just the size selection, a common point of confusion for many Keurig users.
