Sources: FDA, ACOG, AAP. Individual tolerance varies. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice.

Where Does the Caffeine Come From?

7 Brew does not serve drip coffee. Every coffee drink is built on freshly pulled espresso shots. According to USDA data, a single shot (1 fl oz) contains approximately 63 mg of caffeine. Most Small drinks use two shots, putting the baseline around 126 mg.

Caffeine at 7 Brew comes from three sources:

Espresso-Based

7 Classics, 7 Originals, lattes, mochas, breves, cold brews. Caffeine from espresso shots.

7 Energy

7 Energy uses a proprietary energy base. Delivers 150 to 200+ mg per Small.

Tea-Based

Green tea, chai, matcha. Naturally occurring caffeine, typically 25 to 80 mg per Small.

Syrups, milk, cream, and toppings do not add caffeine. The only way to increase it is to change the base, pick a larger size, or add extra shots.

Caffeine by Size

Larger sizes get more espresso shots. Here is how caffeine scales using the Blondie Breve as an example:

Managing Your Intake

Order a Smaller Size

Kids or Small has significantly less caffeine than Large with the same flavors.

Switch to Tea

Green tea and chai deliver 25 to 50 mg per Small — a third of espresso.

Go Caffeine-Free

Smoothies, shakes, and lemonades have zero caffeine.

Set a Cutoff Time

Stop caffeine 6+ hours before bed. A 3 PM drink still has 60 mg active at 8 PM.

Skip Extra Shots

Each shot adds 63 mg. Stick with the standard recipe if sensitive.

Drink Water Too

Caffeine is a mild diuretic. Pair your order with water.

Caffeine for Specific Groups

Pregnant and Breastfeeding Women

ACOG recommends under 200 mg/day. A Small espresso drink uses most of that budget. Consider a Kids-size (~63 mg), green tea (~25-40 mg), or caffeine-free options. The limit applies to all caffeine sources combined.

Children and Teenagers

AAP: children under 12 should avoid caffeine. Teens (12-17) should stay under 100 mg. A Kids-size espresso (~63 mg) fits teen guidelines; a Small (~120 mg) exceeds them. Smoothies and shakes are the safest choices.

Anxiety or Heart Conditions

Caffeine can worsen anxiety and elevate heart rate. Consult your doctor for a personalized limit. Low-caffeine teas (under 50 mg) or caffeine-free drinks are typically recommended.

Caffeine FAQs

Common questions about caffeine at 7 Brew

How much caffeine is in a 7 Brew coffee?
Most 7 Brew espresso drinks contain 120 to 160 mg of caffeine in a Small (16 oz). The exact amount depends on the drink type, size, and whether you add extra shots. A Small Blondie Breve has about 120 mg, while some cold brews reach 150 mg.
Which 7 Brew drink has the most caffeine?
The Mocha tops the list at 181 mg in a Small size. In a Large, caffeine can exceed 300 mg for certain drinks.
Does 7 Brew have caffeine-free drinks?
Yes. 7 Brew offers 85 drinks with zero caffeine, including smoothies, shakes, most lemonades, and select specialty drinks. These work well for kids, evening orders, or anyone limiting caffeine.
How does 7 Brew caffeine compare to Starbucks?
A 7 Brew Small (16 oz) espresso drink has roughly 120 to 160 mg of caffeine. A Starbucks Grande (16 oz) latte has about 150 mg. The biggest difference is drip coffee: Starbucks serves it at 310 mg per Grande, while 7 Brew does not serve drip coffee at all.
How much caffeine per day is safe?
The FDA sets 400 mg per day as the general limit for healthy adults. ACOG recommends under 200 mg for pregnant women. The AAP advises that children under 12 avoid caffeine entirely, and teens should stay under 100 mg per day.
Does 7 Brew use espresso or drip coffee?
7 Brew is entirely espresso-based. Every coffee drink is made with freshly pulled espresso shots, not drip-brewed coffee. A single espresso shot contains approximately 63 mg of caffeine (per USDA data), and most Small drinks use two shots.
How much caffeine does a 7 Brew Energy drink have?
7 Energy drinks use an energy base instead of espresso. A Small (16 oz) 7 Energy typically delivers 150 to 200 mg of caffeine, which is comparable to or slightly above a standard espresso-based coffee drink of the same size.
Can I get extra espresso shots at 7 Brew?
Yes. Each additional espresso shot adds about 63 mg of caffeine. A standard Small drink with 120 mg becomes roughly 183 mg with one extra shot, or 246 mg with two extra shots.
Does drink size affect caffeine at 7 Brew?
Significantly. Larger sizes get more espresso shots or more energy base. A drink with 60 mg in a Kids (10 oz) may have 120 mg in a Small (16 oz) and over 200 mg in a Large (32 oz).
How long does caffeine from 7 Brew stay in your system?
Caffeine has an average half-life of about 5 hours in healthy adults. If you drink 200 mg at noon, roughly 100 mg is still active at 5 PM and 50 mg at 10 PM. Sleep experts recommend stopping caffeine at least 6 hours before bedtime.
What are the side effects of too much caffeine?
Common signs of overconsumption include jitters, anxiety, rapid heartbeat, upset stomach, and difficulty sleeping. If you experience chest pain, seizures, or confusion, seek emergency medical attention. The FDA considers 400 mg per day a safe ceiling for most healthy adults.

Caffeine values are researched estimates based on 7 Brew's published nutrition information and USDA data. Actual values may vary by location and preparation. This is not medical advice. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations.
