Coffee is one of the most popular ones, with fans all over the world. Thanks to the caffeine it contains, we gain a lot of energy and strength to act in the morning, as well as improve concentration. The amount of caffeine in a cup of coffee can vary. What to look for?
How much caffeine does coffee have? The content depends on the beans, roasting style, preparation and serving size
Just a few sips of coffee can get you back on your feet quickly. This is all due to the caffeine it contains, which has an energizing and stimulating effect. The amount of this substance in one cup varies depending on the type of coffee beans, roast (lighter roasts contain more caffeine than darker ones), type of coffee, and portion size. The portal provided the estimated caffeine content in popular types of coffee.
- 200 ml of black coffee contains approximately 80-140 mg.
- cappuccino contains approximately 40 mg.
Moreover, this compound can also be found in other types of popular drinks and sweets that we consume every day.
- a cup of black tea – approx. 50 mg.
- a cup of green tea – approx. 30 mg.
- energy drink – approx. 90 mg.
- carbonated drink – 30–50 mg.

Permissible dose of caffeine. This is the daily limit for a healthy person
When drinking coffee, you should also exercise moderation and carefully observe how much caffeine goes into your drink. Otherwise, we will be exposed to the unpleasant consequences of an overdose. In an interview, cardiologist Sławomir Powierża admitted that drinking 2-3 cups of coffee a day is considered a safe amount. The permissible dose of caffeine is therefore between 300 and 400 mg. Excessive caffeine consumption can cause:
- insomnia,
- anxiety,
- trouble concentrating,
- fast heart rate,
- upset stomach,
- nausea,
- headache,
- depressed mood.
Unfortunately, there is also a lethal dose of caffeine. According to the website, it amounts to approx 180 mg/l. It was determined by testing the blood of patients who died from an overdose. For comparison, it is worth knowing that just one cup of filtered coffee increases the caffeine level by 2-4 mg/l.
