A new study by Which? has revealed significant differences in caffeine content across various coffee drinks from popular UK chains. Costa's cappuccino was found to contain the most caffeine, equivalent to four cans of Red Bull, while Starbucks had the least. The study also highlighted variations in espresso and flat white drinks, with Costa's flat white having almost three times more caffeine than Starbucks' equivalent. Caffeine levels can impact health, with pregnant individuals advised to monitor their intake. The last such study was conducted in 2023, showing Caffè Nero's cappuccino had doubled in caffeine content since then.
