Caffeine · Free sugars
- Per serving: at least 64 mg caffeine (serving: 1 glass (160 ml coffee)). Source: about 160 ml brewed per serving × USDA FDC SR Legacy #171890 (brewed coffee, 40 mg/100 g) This brew uses more coffee per ml than standard brewed coffee, so the real amount is likely higher..
- Scaling: making more servings does not change the caffeine in each serving; what counts is how many servings you drink in a day. 1 serving: 64 mg · 2 servings: 128 mg · 3 servings: 192 mg · 4 servings: 256 mg (above EFSA 200 mg at once).
- General guideline: EFSA Scientific Opinion on the safety of caffeine (2015): for healthy adults, up to 200 mg in a single dose and up to 400 mg per day do not raise safety concerns. 1 serving = 16 % of 400 mg. EFSA
