Starbucks offers a wide range of caffeinated and caffeine-free beverages worldwide. Caffeine is a natural stimulant that blocks a relaxing neurotransmitter, reduces fatigue, raises dopamine, and can increase heart rate. Caffeine effects typically begin 20 to 60 minutes after consumption. The listed caffeine amounts are based on a 16-ounce serving, and customers can scale sizes to venti, tall, or short. Simple brewed coffee at Starbucks ranges from 315 to 390 milligrams per 16-ounce cup. Starbucks provides multiple roasts but does not specify exact caffeine for each roast on the menu.
But what is caffeine, and why do we crave it? Caffeine is a natural stimulant that blocks the neurotransmitter that relaxes our brains and ultimately causes feelings of fatigue. Caffeine can also get our blood pumping and increase the dopamine in our systems. Fortunately for night owls who sometimes need to be early birds, caffeine lives up to its promises quickly, with the caffeine from a cup of coffee taking about 20 to 60 minutes to kick in.
No matter what your caffeine needs, Starbucks has you covered - even if you prefer caffeine-free drinks. Each of the caffeine amounts listed below are for the 16-ounce version of the drink unless otherwise noted. Of course, you can usually scale up to a venti (20 ounces) or down to a tall (12 ounces) or short (8 ounces) as needed based on what you're fueling up for. However you order them, here are the strongest Starbucks drinks.
Starbucks offers a Sunsera blonde roast, a medium roast in Pike Place, and two dark roasts: Sumatra and Caffe Verona. We've noticed that the actual brews offered inside the cafe can vary, so be prepared with an alternative roast if your favorite is not available. Curiously, Starbucks does not offer a defined caffeine count for each roast. Instead, on the menu, you'll find a range of 315 to 390 milligrams for each, making simple brewed coffee among the strongest Starbucks drinks.
