Here is the English translation of your coffee caffeine guide, formatted for clarity and social media use.
Caffeine content in coffee beverages depends heavily on the brewing method, bean variety (*Coffea arabica* vs. *Coffea canephora*), roast level, and serving size. Below are estimated values for standard servings.
### **Base Drinks**
* **Espresso (30 ml):** ~60–80 mg
* **Double Espresso (60 ml):** ~120–160 mg
* **Americano (150–240 ml):** ~60–120 mg
* **Filter / Drip Coffee (240 ml):** ~95–180 mg
* **French Press (240 ml):** ~80–135 mg
* **Cold Brew (240 ml):** ~100–200 mg (often higher due to long extraction)
### **Espresso-Based Milk Drinks**
* **Cappuccino (150–180 ml):** ~60–80 mg
* **Latte (240–300 ml):** ~60–80 mg
* **Flat White (160–200 ml):** ~120–160 mg (usually contains a double shot)
* **Macchiato (40–60 ml):** ~60–80 mg
* **Mocha (240–300 ml):** ~70–100 mg (coffee + chocolate adds a bit of extra caffeine)
### **Other Variations**
* **Turkish Coffee (Cezve, 60–100 ml):** ~80–120 mg (sediment leads to higher extraction)
* **Ristretto (20 ml):** ~50–70 mg (smaller volume but highly concentrated)
* **Lungo (50–60 ml):** ~70–100 mg (longer extraction)
* **Decaf (240 ml):** ~2–15 mg (not zero!)
### **What Matters Most**
1. **Bean Variety:** *Coffea canephora* contains roughly 1.5–2 times more caffeine than *Coffea arabica*.
2. **Grind Size & Extraction Time:** Longer brewing → more caffeine.
3. **Coffee-to-Water Ratio:** More ground coffee → higher concentration.
4. **Serving Size:** This is the key factor for total mg intake, even if the drink is diluted.
### **Quick Takeaways**
* **Cold Brew and Filter Coffee** usually have the highest caffeine content per serving.
* **Espresso** has the highest concentration per ml, but the serving size is small.
* **Milk-based drinks** (Lattes, Cappuccinos) aren't "weaker"—they just have more milk, not less caffeine.
