average mg of caffeine in coffee
Caffeine by Type of Brewed Coffee. Like all coffee drinks, caffeine levels vary greatly - due to variations in coffee blend, exact amount of ground coffee used, and brewing technique. The value of caffeine in brewed coffee featured above is an average, with values generally between 64 and 272 milligrams per cup. Because brewed coffee requires that the water is in contact with the grinds for a long time, this leads to a higher caffeine concentration (and sometimes an over-extracted taste).
