Nitro cold brew coffee generally contains a high amount of caffeine due to the extended steeping and nitrogen infusion process. Specifically:
- Starbucks Nitro Cold Brew has about 215 mg of caffeine in a 12 oz (Tall) serving and 280 mg in a 16 oz (Grande) serving.
- Other sources indicate a standard 16 oz cup of nitro cold brew typically contains around 280 to 300 mg of caffeine, sometimes even more depending on the serving size and brewing method.
- Caffeine content in nitro cold brew is higher than regular cold brew and hot brewed coffee due to the method of cold steeping and nitrogen infusion, which enhances caffeine extraction.
- Canned nitro cold brew products have varying caffeine based on size and flavor, e.g., Starbucks canned nitro cold brew contains approximately 235 mg of caffeine per 11 oz can.
In summary, an average 16 oz serving of nitro cold brew contains roughly 280-300 mg of caffeine, making it notably stronger in caffeine content compared to many other coffee drinks.
