Is it the status symbol associated with a Starbucks cup that makes it attractive? Or the euphoria felt from mastering how to order an ordinary cup of tea using five different words? Turns out, it might be the fact that this chain’s coffee contains more caffeine than its competitors.
Research done in 2003 by the University of Florida College of Medicine confirmed that a Starbucks cup of coffee has over 100mg more caffeine than does a Dunkin’ Donuts cup of the same size. With the development of new energy mints and Red Bulls, it’s no wonder that Starbucks feels the need to compete.
Still, if you want those daily headaches to stop, put down your grande, non-fat, no foam, vanilla latte.
