I'm not one to monitor or look at how much caffeine I'm consuming. I usually drink one cup of coffee per day and maybe a Diet Coke or two. However, when I decided to taste some of Starbucks' most caffeinated drinks, I was surprised to find that some were more caffeinated than I was expecting.
To find out which would be the tastiest morning pick-me-up, I tried five of their most caffeinated drinks: Cold Brew coffee, an Iced Honey Almond Flat White, an Iced Caffè Americano, a Featured Dark Roast, and an Iced Chocolate Almondmilk Shaken Espresso, one of Starbucks' newest menu items.
Each tall drink contained at least 150 milligrams of caffeine, which is half the daily limit of 300 to 400 mg recommended for an average adult. By comparison, the average cup of 8-ounce coffee is said to contain between 80 to 100 milligrams. So while some of the drinks had more caffeine than I expected, one or two a day would still keep me within the daily limit, provided I was not consuming too much caffeine from other foods and beverages.
Here's how each drink ranked according to taste, ranked from worst to best.
