Caffeine depends on the drink base and number of espresso shots. Brewed and cold brew coffees are strongest because they steep longer. Figures are approximate milligrams.
Watch: which Starbucks drinks have the most caffeine
| Drink | Size | Caffeine |

For most healthy adults, up to about 400 mg of caffeine a day is generally considered moderate. Some single Venti drinks meet or exceed that.
Tips for a stronger drink
- Ask for Blonde Roast — more caffeine than dark roasts.
- Add an extra shot (~+75 mg each).
