*LIGHTNING STRIKE*
Hey everybody, thanks for joining me.
Today I am going to go over the heart and soul of what my channel is all about.
I'm going to go over a majority of coffees, teas and energy drinks, and their caffeine count.
And before I forget, if you like what you hear be sure to click the like button and

We have a lot to go over, so no fun, no games, no non-sense, let's get right to it... okay,
maybe a little non-sense.
In general when researching coffee, you'll find that 8 ounces of coffee has about 80
to 120 milligrams of caffeine in it.
Now, I'm from the east coast and the biggest chain we have is Dunkin Donuts.
In Rhode Island, you can actually buy a large iced coffee, leave, walk down the street and
hit another Dunkin Donuts before you're even done with the first iced coffee!
Now I know a lot of you, who aren't from around here, are going to say,
"Oh, this guy is exaggerating a little bit,"
but no, I'm not!
It's true.
Don't believe me? Go ahead and Google it.
Type in Dunkin Donuts, Mineral Spring Ave, Rhode Island, and you'll see.
*BOOM* I told you so.
In Massachusetts, there is actually a rotary where 3 out of the 4 exits have a Dunkin Donuts on them.
Then again, they were founded in 1950 in Quincy, Massachusetts, therefore they are biggest closest to home.
And as of today they have a little over 11,000 stores worldwide.
Therefore, let's start with them and get right into it.
Now get ready for some information overload, there is going to be a lot!
Here we have all of the sizes of the Dunkin Donuts hot coffee.
A small... heh, heh, who drinks that small of a cup... anyway, a small is 10 ounces and
it has 150 milligrams of caffeine.
The medium size is 14 ounces which has 210 milligrams of caffeine.
The large is 20 ounces which has 300 milligrams of caffeine and if you decide to go for
The Great One, that is 24 ounces and has 359 milligrams of caffeine in it.
If you use dairy products you are looking at about 15 to 35 milligrams less
from small to extra large.
Here, we have all the sizes for their iced coffee.
A small is 16 ounces and has 198 milligrams of caffeine.
A medium is 24 ounces and 297 milligrams of caffeine.
The large is 32 ounces which comes in at 396 milligrams of caffeine.
If you use dairy products you can subtract 20 to 40 milligrams from small to large and
if you drink the cold brew, you can also subtract another 25 to 50 milligrams from small to large.
Next, on to Starbucks.
Starbucks opened in Seattle in 1971 and they started out just selling whole coffee beans.
It wasn't until 1986 that they started to sell espresso.
Since then they have continued to expand, not only their stores, but with the amount
of drinks that they sold.
As of 2017, had over 27,000 worldwide.
Here we have all the sizes of their hot medium roast.
A tall 12 ounce cup is going to be 235 milligrams of caffeine.
The next size up, the grande is 16 ounces which has 310 milligrams of caffeine.
Lastly, their venti, which is the 20 ounce option, has 410 milligrams of caffeine.
If you go with the dark roast, you can subtract 25 to 60 milligrams from tall to venti.
If you use any sort of dairy products in your drinks you can subtract about 20 to 50 milligrams
from tall to venti.
Here we have all the sizes for their iced coffee.
A tall is 12 ounces and has 120 milligrams of caffeine.
The grande is 16 ounces which has 165 milligrams of caffeine.
The venti is 24 ounces and has 235 milligrams of caffeine.
The trenta is 30 ounce option which has 280 milligrams of caffeine.
If you use any sort of dairy in these, you can subtract between 30 to 90 milligrams from
tall to trenta.
Next we have all the sizes for the Tim Hortons hot coffee, or as I like to call it, Timmmmmyyyy.
Their small cup is 10 ounces and has 140 milligrams of caffeine.
Their medium is 15 ounces which has 205 milligrams.
Their large is 20 ounces which has 270 milligrams of caffeine.
Their extra large is 24 ounces which has 330 milligrams of caffeine.

A small is 16 ounces and has 130 milligrams of caffeine.
A medium is 20 ounces and has 170 milligrams of caffeine.
A large is 32 ounces and has 285 milligrams of caffeine.
If you use any dairy products, you can subtract about 25 to 55 milligrams from small to large.
Timmmmmy!!!
Next is the McDonalds McCafe.
Their small is an 8 ounce cup which has 109 milligrams of caffeine.
Their medium size is 12 ounces which has 145 milligrams of caffeine.
Their large is 24 ounces which has 180 milligrams of caffeine.
Similar to the other ones, if you use dairy, you can subtract about 20 to 40 milligrams
from small to large.
Here we have the sizes for their iced coffees.
A small is 16 ounces which has 133 milligrams of caffeine.
A medium is 24 ounces and has 200 milligrams of caffeine.
Their large is 32 ounces which has 320 milligrams of caffeine.
If you use dairy products you can subtract about 25 to 55 milligrams from small to large.
Now I understand I didn't go over all the Starbucks drinks and all the Dunkin Donuts drinks.
That's because there are far too many of them to go over in this video.
But like I said, feel free to subscribe because I do plan on doing a full video on all the
Dunkin Donuts drinks and another video on all the Starbucks drinks.
As well as when they have new product releases.
So, let's talk iced tea.
I'll start with some iced tea from the big guys, Coke and Pepsi.
Coke has the Gold Peak line.
Their sweet tea, unsweet tea and extra sweet tea all come in at 23 milligrams and it comes
in an 18.5 ounce bottle.
Their Slightly Sweet Tea did drop to 17 milligrams though.
What about their green tea?
That comes in at 20 milligrams.
Pepsi has the Brisk line and this one here is the Lemon which comes in at 14 milligrams,
and actually, all the lipton iced teas; peach, lemon and green, all came in between 24 milligrams
and 26 milligrams.
Pure leaf is also owned by Lipton, a Pepsi company, and their 18.5 ounce bottle come
in with a little bit of a higher caffeine count than the Brisk.
Their sweet tea comes in at 69 milligrams and the unsweetened green tea comes in at
44 milligrams, which is a little bit high for a green tea.
Next we have Snapple.
Their regular flavors all come in a 16 ounce bottle and range between 37 to 38 milligrams of caffeine.
What about the diet? Doesn't matter.
They all have the same amount, between 37 and 38 milligrams of caffeine.
Their green tea (not shown here) has 23 milligrams of caffeine.
McDonalds also has an iced tea, it's their sweet tea.
It comes in a 32 ounce cup and has 100 milligrams of caffeine.
Starbucks also has some iced teas as well.
Their shaken sweet tea comes in at 23 milligrams.
Their shaken black tea has 28 milligrams.
Their shaken green tea comes in at 28 milligrams.
Their Teavana mango black comes in at about 55 milligrams of caffeine.
Last on my list for iced tea is Arizona.
This Arizona can is a 23 ounce can and has about 23 milligrams of caffeine.
For all of the Arizona teas, Arizona claims that there are 15 milligrams per 8 ounces
in their black tea and 7.5 milligrams per 8 ounces in their green tea.
When it comes to soda, I'm going to stick with the 20 ounce bottles because it seems
to be their most common size out there and according to Coke and Pepsi, one of their
best sellers, coming in second to only their 2 liter bottles.
Third places is their 16.9 ounce bottles, which I am actually going to be using for
visual purposes only.
Once again, the bottles that I am showing are for visual purposes only at 16.9 ounces
but the numbers for caffeine count are going to be based on the 20 ounce size.
First we have Coca Cola classic, which comes in at 57 milligrams of caffeine.
Next we have the Coke Zero which comes in at 57 milligrams as well.
It's also a slightly healthier option because it has no sugar and no calories, if you can
even consider soda healthy.
Next we have the Diet Coke which comes in at 76 milligrams of caffeine.
Lastly we have Sprite and Fanta, which actually don't have any caffeine in them.
GET OUT OF HERE!!!!
Next we have Pepsi. Pepsi comes in a 63 milligrams of caffeine.
Diet Pepsi comes in at 59 milligrams.
Next we have the Mountain Dew and Diet Mountain Dew, both come in at 91 milligrams of caffeine,
which isn't a shock to many people because we know it has a lot of caffeine in it.
The big shock is actually Pepsi Zero, which you would think would be the healthier option
similar to the Coke Zero.
That's not the case.
This Pepsi Zero has 115 milligrams of caffeine in it!
Which is a decent amount more than the Mountain Dew.
Lastly, not a Pepsi product, we have Dr. Pepper and Diet Dr. Pepper, have 68 milligrams of caffeine.
Now, let's move on to energy drinks.
When it comes to Red Bull, they have their 8.4 ounce size which is 80 milligrams of caffeine.
Next, they have their 12 ounce size which has 114 milligrams of caffeine.
This also includes all of their special editions, like coconut, blueberry, cranberry, tropical and more.
If you'd like to find out more about those drinks, check out my Red Bull video.
I'll include a link down below.
Lastly for Red Bull, we have the 16 ounce which is 151 milligrams.
Next we have Monster.
Their 16 ounce can has 160 milligrams of caffeine.
Their low carb can has 140 milligrams of caffeine.
Zero Ultra by Monster, which has zero calories, has 140 milligrams of caffeine.
Not shown here, is Rehab Monster which has 150 milligrams and is sort of their flavored tea brand.
Their coffee brand, Monster Java, is a 15 ounce bottle that has 180 milligrams of caffeine.
Rockstar, 16 ounce can, is on par with the other energy drinks and has 160 milligrams of caffeine.
Next, we'll talk a little bit about tea.
If you make your own tea at home, each company will have a different amount of caffeine per teabag.
One of the more common teas is the Lipton black tea.
One teabag makes about 8 ounces of tea which has 55 milligrams of caffeine.
Bigelow tea has about 30 to 60 milligrams of caffeine, so it's slightly less than Lipton.
One other competitors, Twinnings, also has about 50 milligrams in their black tea.
Next we have the green tea. Lipton green tea has about 35 milligrams of caffeine per 8 ounce cup.
In general, most of the green teas have between 30 to 35 milligrams of caffeine in them.
Lastly, we have white tea. White tea, this one here is Tazo,
but many of the white teas don't have much caffeine at all.
They come in between 12 and 18 milligrams per 8 ounce cup.
So let's talk about homemade coffee for those of you who like to make your own coffee.
An 8 ounce cup of Folgers coffee is going to have about 95 milligrams of caffeine.
When it came to Maxwell House, it was a little bit hard to find the information, and I searched
pretty hard, it was between 80 and 100 milligrams for the original roast.
Next, 8 O'Clock coffee.
They claim that their 5 ounce cup of coffee has between 70 and 155 milligrams of caffeine depending
on how long it is brewed for, making it one of the highest caffeine counts of all the homemade coffees.
Now, I do say ONE of the higher ones, but it's not the highest.
For those true coffee lovers, and true caffeine lovers, the number 1 on the list is Death Wish Coffee.
When it comes to Death Wish coffee, they actually measure their caffeine content, not in 8 ounce
cups, but by one ounce at a time.
Just ONE ounce of Death Wish Coffee contains 59 milligrams of caffeine!
That's right, one ounce, 59!
So, what's that mean for an 8 ounce cup of coffee?
Thats' right, 472 milligrams in an 8 ounce cup.
Death Wish Coffee!
Now, as for Keurig, Keurig has been on the market for several years now and the longer
that it's been out, more companies have been producing for it.
Therefore, the caffeine counts are kid of all over the place with so many different
companies participating, but on average, they range between 75 and 125 milligrams, which
is close to your standard 8 ounce cup of coffee.
PHEW!
So, that's all I got for now.
Now, a lot of you may be asking, "Where did I get all this information from?"
The truth is, I have a photographic memory, therefore everything I've ever read, I've remembered.
*laughing* I can't believe I said that with a straight face.
The truth is that for every company, all the information is public knowledge, so you can
find it on their website.
I went to each companies website and got the accurate information so that you don't have to.
In a few rare cases, I couldn't find any information, such as Maxwell House coffee, but I did go
to several different websites to confirm that information because I always want to provide
you with the most accurate information.
One of those websites is caffeine informer and I'll include a link down below.
