Frequently Asked Questions

What is the half-life of caffeine?

The average half-life of caffeine in a healthy adult is about 5 hours. This means if you consume 100mg of caffeine, you will still have 50mg active in your bloodstream 5 hours later.

How much caffeine is in a coffee?

A standard single shot of espresso contains about 60-70mg of caffeine. A large milk-based coffee (like a large latte or flat white) often contains 2 shots, totaling 120-140mg.

When should I stop drinking coffee to sleep well?

Because of the 5-hour half-life, it is generally recommended to stop consuming caffeine at least 8 to 10 hours before your intended bedtime.
