What is the caffeine content of Starbucks Breakfast Blend Coffee?
Starbucks Breakfast Blend Ground Coffee when consumed at home or in store as a 16 oz Grande will contain roughly 23.4 mg of caffeine per ounce for a total of 375 mg of caffeine in a 16-ounce Grande.
The caffeine content is based on store brewing. Home brewing can alter the below caffeine levels based on brewing methods and the volume used to brew.
| Serving Size | Caffeine (MG) | Sugar (G) |
| 8 oz (Short) | 170 | 0 |

Is Starbucks Breakfast Blend's Caffeine Content Considered High?
At 23.4 mg of caffeine per brewed ounce and 375 mg in just the Grande Size, the Breakfast Blend Coffee from Starbucks is more caffeinated compared to most standard grocery store brands and comes in just ahead of the Starbucks Veranda Blend which has 360 mg of caffeine per 16 ounce brew.
Their Venti (20 oz) has a energy boosting 445 mg of caffeine in just one serving. This is almost four times that of a standard 12 oz brew made at home.
Since the FDA states 400 mg of caffeine is generally considered as safe for healthy adults, drinking one of these should not be an issue. Any consumption of two or more in one day can cause caffeine-related side effects.

HOW LONG DOES CAFFEINE STAY IN YOUR SYSTEM?
Caffeine has a half-life of 6 hours, meaning that half of the amount you consumed will be out of your body within 6 hours. The other half will take another 4-6 hours to leave, so that means you'll need to wait 12 hours for complete clearance from your system. But this is just an average; some people may clear it more quickly than others due to individual factors such as age and genetics.
