The caffeine content of an average 5 ounce cup of coffee can vary from 40-150 mg. Two influencing factors are the variety of coffee bean and where it is grown; both can be affected by such things as soil conditions, length of growing season, and time of harvest. Even coffee grown in the same general region will vary in caffeine content.

Three more controllable factors are how finely the beans are ground before coffee making and the method and length of time used for brewing the coffee. The drip method, with fine ground, used in machines like Mr. Coffee, generally yields the highest amount of caffeine, ranging from 110-150 mg per five ounce cup. Percolated coffee is next highest in caffeine, ranging from 64-124 mg. Isn’t it interesting that many people say that brewed coffee tastes best? Instant coffee may be lower in caffeine averaging between 40-108 mg per cup.

Decaffeinated coffee, despite its name, does contain some caffeine, although only about 2-5 mg per five ounce cup

Here is information on caffeine content based on brew method

5 ounces of Drip Method coffee contains the most caffeine at 110-150 milligrams

5 ounces of Percolated coffee contains 64-124 milligrams

5 ounces of Instant contains 40 -108 milligrams

5 ounces of Decaf contains 2-5 milligrams

5 ounces of Instant Decaf contains 2 milligrams

Best coffee to buy at the grocery store?

Question by SportsGeek: Best coffee to buy at the grocery store?
I just got a coffee maker for Christmas and I am pretty excited. I have usually either just drank tea or when I did drink coffee, I drank instant coffee. What is the best stuff to buy? I bought a bag of Starbucks vanilla flavored coffee, is Starbucks the best to buy at the grocery store or is there a better? I heard Dunkin Donuts coffee is only good at Dunkin Donuts and that its not as good when you brew it yourself at home, any thoughts would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I like a darker roast. Ethiopian beans are the best in my opinion which I usually get at what we call “Kensington Market” in Toronto. In my opinion, it is best to try to enjoy the ground bean without the added flavour. Not everyone is a coffee drinker though, and it may take time to acquire the taste to be able to drink coffee sans extra sugary flavorings. I like buying the beans whole and grinding them at home so they stay fresher. It really makes a difference. I don’t roast my own though, although, some people do for that extra extra freshness. I would go for the loose beans in your grocery store. I go for the “bold” If you are a tea drinker though, you may want to start with the light or medium until you become accustomed to the more bold flavour.

Take advantage of samplings so you can see what your taste is. It doesn’t hurt to ask for a sample either.
