Domesticated chickens have been providing humans with eggs for nearly 8,000 years, but having access to freshly laid eggs is no longer restricted to those living in the country. For the last few decades, the idea of the âurban farmâ has seen an increasing number of suburbanites keeping their own poultry.
Caffeine was isolated from the coffee samples and measured by gas chromatography. Every serving but one - instant decaffeinated Folgers Coffee Crystals - contained caffeine, ranging from 8.6 milligrams to 13.9 milligrams. In comparison, an 8-ounce cup of drip-brewed coffee typically contains 85 milligrams of caffeine. In the study's second phase, scientists analyzed 12 samples of Starbucks decaffeinated espresso and brewed decaffeinated coffee taken from a single store.
A 12-ounce cup of coffee that you brew at home contains about 100 to 160 milligrams of caffeine. Use a coffee maker with coffee pods and you're likely to get between 75 and 150 milligrams per cup. Instant coffee contains between 135 and 148 milligrams per cup. Purchase that cup at a coffeehouse and you'll get between 178 and 260 milligrams in a 12-ounce serving. A shot of espresso contains about 150 milligrams of caffeine. Any specialty drink, such as a mocha or latte, made with a single shot will thus also contain 150 milligrams. Frozen coffee drinks also contain significant amounts of caffeine -- between 140 and 260 milligrams per serving.
