Coffee, the universal ‘GOOD’ morning elixir, has intrigued and boosted the energy levels of fathers everywhere for centuries. As our tastes became more sophisticated over time, so did the variety of ways in which we consume this energizing beverage and its caffeine content.

Perhaps the most iconic of them all is the Macchiato Coffee, renowned for its unique blend of bold and smooth flavors. I’ve made a cool list of different ways to drink your coffee and the approximate amount of caffeine in each cup. I’m sure you drink coffee as part of your daily routine, otherwise, why would you be here reading this?

Whether you’re a coffee snob or a newbie, you’ll enjoy this list of awesome popular beverages that you might have heard of before.

For Real Coffee Lovers

1. Macchiato Coffee – My Personal Preference

The Macchiato Coffee, an Italian classic, offers a perfect balance of strong espresso and the delicate flavor of steamed milk. It is typically composed of a double shot of espresso, served in an elegant demi-tasse cup, with a separate layer of frothed milk on top rather than mixed in.

This coffee is intended to be savored slowly, allowing you to appreciate the robust espresso flavor. The caffeine content in a typical Macchiato Coffee is approximately 85 mg per cup.

2. Irish Coffee – For the Whiskey Lovers

It’s an acquired taste but Irish Coffee combines the stimulating effects of coffee with the laid back effects of Irish whiskey. This classic coffee cocktail includes hot coffee, Irish whiskey, sugar, and is topped with a rich layer of cream.

The caffeine content is approximately 95 mg, but this can vary depending on the strength of the coffee used. The best time to enjoy this is out camping in the woods. Have fun!

3. Flat White – The Aussie Favorite

The Flat White is an Australian favorite known for its velvety texture. The recipe is simple: one-third espresso, two-thirds frothed milk. It’s a popular choice for those who enjoy the flavor of coffee but prefer a smoother, creamier texture. The caffeine content in a Flat White is about 130 mg per cup.

4. Camp Coffee – The Rustic Delight

Camp Coffee takes us back to simpler times. This rustic coffee is made over a campfire in a tin or pot, bringing together coffee and the great outdoors. It’s not about the perfect brew, but the experience of making coffee in the wilderness.

The caffeine content of Camp Coffee can vary, but it’s typically around 95 mg per cup.

5. Iced Coffee – The Summer Classic

A nice cold coffee is perfect for those hot summer days when you need a caffeine boost but want something refreshing. It’s brewed hot, then cooled down by refrigeration or ice. This method results in a full-flavored coffee that is simply perfect for sipping on a warm day.

The caffeine content of iced coffee is approximately 95 mg per cup.

6. Cold Brew – The Cool Alternative

Unlike iced coffee, Cold Brew Coffee is never heated. Coffee grounds are steeped in cold water for 12 to 24 hours. The result is a smooth, low-acidity coffee that is perfect for those who prefer a less bitter brew.

The caffeine content of cold brew coffee can vary, but it’s typically around 200 mg per cup.

9. Coffee Instant – The Quick Fix

Instant Coffee is the perfect solution for those in need of a quick caffeine fix. Its convenience and ease of preparation have made it a staple in many households. Despite its bad reputation among coffee aficionados, a good quality instant coffee can provide a decent cup.

10. Decaffeinated – The Low-Caffeine Option

Decaf coffee is an excellent choice for those who love the taste of coffee but are sensitive to caffeine. It goes through a decaffeination process that removes most of the caffeine, allowing you to enjoy a cup without the jitters.

This option has less caffeine and is typically around 2-5 mg per cup.

11. Cream and Sugar – The Classic Combo

I’m Canadian and if you’re too you must know the term “Double-Double.” It translates to 2 creams and 2 sugars in your morning coffee. The classic coffee combination of cream and sugar allows you to customize your coffee to your taste. It’s a simple yet great way to enjoy your brew.  

There are plenty of creamers on the market that come in different flavors as well. The caffeine content remains the same as a regular cup of coffee, typically around 95 mg per cup.

12. Americano – The Espresso Evolution

This is the most popular drink of choice at the local coffee shops here in South Korea. The Americano is a brilliant blend of strong espresso and hot water, producing a coffee that is similar in strength to regular drip coffee but with a distinctly different flavor.

The caffeine content in an Americano varies depending on the number of espresso shots used, but it’s typically around 154 mg per cup.
