How Much Caffeine Is in Your Starbucks Espresso & Cream? ☕️
Uncover the Buzz: Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso & Cream
Hey Coffee Lovers!
Ever grabbed a Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso & Cream on the go and wondered how much caffeine you’re really getting? We broke it down so you know exactly what’s fueling your day – whether it’s your work grind, a study session, or that afternoon pick-me-up.
What’s Inside the Can?
The Starbucks Doubleshot Espresso & Cream (6.5 fl oz / 192 ml) packs:
☕ Caffeine: 120 mg
🥛 Ingredients: Brewed espresso, reduced-fat milk, cream, sugar, and natural flavors
🍦 Flavor: Rich, creamy, and slightly sweet with a bold espresso kick

How Does It Compare?
Wondering how 120 mg of caffeine stacks up?
Drink | Caffeine (mg) |
---|---|
Starbucks Doubleshot | 120 mg |
Small Brewed Coffee | ~95 mg |
Red Bull (8.4 oz) | ~80 mg |
Espresso Shot (1 oz) | ~64 mg |
👉 It’s stronger than Red Bull, and nearly double a single espresso shot!
Is It the Right Choice for You?
If you love espresso with a smooth creamy twist and want a solid caffeine kick without sipping a full coffee, this drink’s for you.
Perfect for:
Early mornings ☀️
Pre-meeting energy boosts 💼
Long commutes 🚗
⚠️ But remember: with added sugar and cream, it's more of a treat than a health drink.
