Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the free online caffeine calculator.
Many health bodies suggest up to 400 mg a day for healthy adults, which is roughly four cups
of filter coffee.
A 240 ml filter coffee has about 95 mg, an espresso around 63 mg, and instant coffee roughly
62 mg per cup.
The average half-life is about five hours in adults, so half the caffeine is gone five hours
after a drink.
Caffeine blocks adenosine, the chemical that builds up sleep pressure, so a late drink can
delay how quickly you fall asleep.
The total is halved once for every five hours between now and bedtime, which gives a rough
remaining amount.
