- All of these drinks vary based on the number of espresso shots added.
- One 0.75-fluid-ounce shot of Starbucks espresso has about 75 mg of caffeine.
Whether served hot or cold, lattes, cappuccinos, macchiatos, mochas, americanos, and flat whites all contain espresso, and their caffeine levels will depend on the number of espresso shots added. Depending on the drink you choose, a short or tall version could contain either one or two shots of delicious espresso, so it could have as little as 75 mg of caffeine or upward of 150 mg.
Grande and tall versions of these varieties could contain two shots, bringing the cup to a 150 mg value. While that is still under that 200 mg limit (hooray!), some drinks of these sizes could have three shots, bringing it 25 mg over the daily limit. Just be sure to double check with your barista, and ask to tweak the number of shots if necessary.
Worth noting: the Starbucks website lets you ask for two different types of espresso roast (signature or blonde), as well as a decaf roast and options for a 1/3 to 2/3 decaf roasts. The site doesn't state how this will affect a drink's caffeine count, but it may be worth asking your barista if you are craving espresso but want to keep your caffeine levels low for the day.
