Maybe you will be surprised knowing starbucks drinks contain caffeine. Find levels of caffeine for Starbucks coffee drinks with this list of caffeine contents for Starbucks' Frappuccinos, espresso drinks, and coffee drinks.

It's important to remember that Starbucks has its own system of drink sizes that are totally different from other coffee houses and drink vendors. Their sizes are Short (8 oz.), Mini (10 oz.), Tall (12 oz.), Grande (16 oz.), Venti (20 oz.), Venti Iced (24 oz.) Trenta Iced (31 oz.), though not all of the sizes are available for all of the drinks they sell.

Many of Starbucks' espresso drinks are made with a single shot of espresso in their Short and Tall sizes and a double shot of espresso in their Grande and Venti sizes. Unless these contain chocolate or extra coffee, their caffeine levels are:

* Short or Tall - 75 mg

* Grande or Venti - 150 mg

Drinks with these caffeine levels include the:

- Caffe Latte

- Caramel Flan Latte

- Cinnamon Dolce Latte

- Cappuccino

- Caramel Brulee Latte

- Caramel Macchiato

- Eggnog Latte

- Flavored Lattes

- Gingerbread Latte

- Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha

- Pumpkin Spice Latte

- Skinny Caramel Macchiato

- Skinny Cinnamon Dolce Latte

- Skinny Flavored Latte

- Tiramisu Latte

- White Chocolate Mocha

The iced versions of these drinks (such as the Iced Caramel Macchiato, Iced Tiramisu Latte, and the Iced Caffe Mocha) contain 75 mg caffeine in a Tall and 150 mg caffeine in a Grande or a Venti Iced.

Similarly, a "solo" (single-shot) Espresso, Espresso con Panna and Espresso Macchiato all contain 75 mg of caffeine, while "doppios" of the same drinks contain 150 mg of caffeine.

A Starbucks Caffe Americano is made with one to four shots of espresso, depending on the size. It contains the following amounts of caffeine:

* Short - 75 mg

* Tall - 150 mg

* Venti - 175 mg

Their even chocolaty-er Peppermint Mocha contains:

* Short - 90 mg

Clocking in with the most caffeine, Starbucks Caffe Mochas and Flavored Mochas contain:

* Short - 90 mg

* Tall - 90 mg

* Grande - 175 mg

This is due to the added caffeine from chocolate.

* Short and Tall - 90 mg

* Grande and Venti - 130 mg
