BIGGBY Coffee Caffeine Calculator: Complete Menu
Every figure here comes directly from BIGGBY's own official nutrition guide, which — unusually for a coffee chain — lists an exact caffeine value for essentially every drink on the menu. That completeness reveals something most charts miss: BIGGBY's sizes don't all scale the same way, and one everyday drink quietly exceeds the FDA's entire daily guideline.
How much caffeine is in BIGGBY Coffee? A flavored latte is 126 mg in both 16 oz and 20 oz — identical — then steps up to 189 mg at 24 oz. Brewed coffee runs stronger, at 190–285 mg depending on size, and the Red Eye (brewed coffee plus an espresso shot) tops the menu at up to 438 mg — above the FDA's 400 mg daily reference in one cup.
A 24 oz Red Eye is over the daily guideline, in one drink
BIGGBY's own nutrition guide lists the 24 oz hot Red Eye at 438 mg of caffeine — more than the FDA's entire 400 mg reference amount for healthy adults, before you've had anything else that day. It's not a hidden or estimated figure; it's printed directly in BIGGBY's official guide.

Official BIGGBY nutrition guidecaffeine in a 16 oz flavored latte
Figures are transcribed directly from BIGGBY Coffee's official published nutritional guide. BIGGBY groups dozens of flavored latte names (Caramel Marvel, Teddy Bear, Butter Bear, Mocha Mocha and many others) under one identical caffeine profile per size — flavor changes the syrup, not the shot count.
Four different ways BIGGBY's sizes scale
Order a bigger size and you'd assume you always get more caffeine. On BIGGBY's own menu, that's true for some drinks and not others — and the differences are large enough to matter.
What this means when you order
If you're choosing a flavored latte or cappuccino, sizing up from 16 oz to 20 oz buys you more drink for the same caffeine — genuinely a free upsize in volume terms. If you want more caffeine specifically, skip straight to 24 oz, or switch to Cold Brew or brewed coffee, both of which scale at every step. And if you order anything from the BIGGBY Blast line, size makes no caffeine difference at all — it's fixed at 102 mg regardless of cup.
Complete BIGGBY caffeine chart
Espresso-based drinks — lattes, cappuccino, Chai Charger
| Drink | 16 oz | 20 oz | 24 oz |
|---|---|---|---|
| Any flavored Latte (hot, iced or frozen) | 126 mg | 126 mg | 189 mg |
| Plain Latte | 126 mg | 126 mg | 189 mg |
| Cappuccino | 126 mg | 126 mg | 189 mg |
| Chai Charger Latte (chai + espresso) | 126 mg | 126 mg | 189 mg |
| Cafe Au Lait, hot | 95 mg | 119 mg | 143 mg |
| Cafe Au Lait, iced | 103 mg | 129 mg | 156 mg |
Every flavored latte on BIGGBY's menu — dozens of names — shares this exact profile. Cafe Au Lait is the outlier: unlike the rest of the espresso line, it scales continuously at every size rather than holding flat between 16 and 20 oz.
Brewed coffee, Americano, Red Eye
| Drink | 16 oz | 20 oz | 24 oz |
|---|---|---|---|
| BIGGBY Best / French Roast, hot brewed | 190 mg | 238 mg | 285 mg |
| Decaf BIGGBY Best, hot | 20 mg | 25 mg | 30 mg |
| Iced Coffee | 206 mg | 258 mg | 313 mg |
| Americano, hot | 189 mg | 252 mg | 252 mg |
| Americano, iced | 189 mg | 252 mg | 252 mg |
| Red Eye, hot | 292 mg | 340 mg | 438 mg |
| Red Eye, iced | 223 mg | 254 mg | 337 mg |
| Shot of Espresso | 63 mg, any size cup | ||
Americano is genuinely odd here — 20 oz and 24 oz carry identical caffeine (252 mg), meaning the largest size is pure extra water with no extra shot. Red Eye is the strongest drink on the regular menu at every size, since it stacks a full espresso shot on top of brewed coffee rather than diluting it.
Sweet Foam Cold Brew (all flavors)
| Flavor | 16 oz | 20 oz | 24 oz |
|---|---|---|---|
| Avalanche, Caramel, Mocha, White Lightning, Black Forest, Red Velvet | 158 mg | 187 mg | 234 mg |
Every Sweet Foam Cold Brew flavor shares this exact profile — flavor changes the syrup and topping, not the cold brew base or its caffeine.
Tea, matcha and Chai (non-espresso)
| Drink | 16 oz | 20 oz | 24 oz |
|---|---|---|---|
| Matcha Tea Latte / Matcha Tea / Matcha Lemonade | 25 mg | 50 mg | 75 mg |
| Cream Earl Grey, Hot Spicy Cinnamon, Morning Blend (tea or tea latte) | 70 mg | 70 mg | 140 mg |
| Minty Green Tea (tea or tea latte) | 50 mg | 50 mg | 100 mg |
| Citrus Mint Soother Tea | 50 mg | 50 mg | 100 mg |
| Iced Tea (plain, brewed) | 60 mg | 76 mg | 92 mg |
| Arnold Palmer | 30 mg | 38 mg | 46 mg |
| Chai Tea Latte (plain, no espresso) | 0 mg | 0 mg | 0 mg |
| Golden Chai Tea Latte | 0 mg | 0 mg | 0 mg |
| Rainbow Rooibos Tea / Tea Latte | 0 mg | 0 mg | 0 mg |
Rooibos is naturally caffeine-free regardless of brand, which BIGGBY's own figures confirm. Plain Chai Tea Latte and Golden Chai Tea Latte are also listed at 0 mg — genuinely caffeine-free unless you specifically order the Chai Charger, which adds real espresso shots.
BIGGBY Blast, Red Bull drinks, Creme Freeze
| Drink | Caffeine |
|---|---|
| BIGGBY Blast (any flavor, any size — Blood Moon, Eclipse, Electric Dragon, Scuba, Tropic) | 102 mg, flat regardless of size |
| Red Bull Energy Drink (standalone) | 80 mg |
| Red Bull Sugarfree Energy Drink | 79 mg |
| Red Bull Mocktail (any flavor) | 80 mg |
| Red Bull Creme Freeze | 80 mg |
| All other Creme Freeze flavors | 0 mg |
BIGGBY Blast is the clearest example of a truly fixed dose on the menu — 102 mg whether you order a 16, 20 or 24 oz cup, likely because it comes from a set amount of added energy ingredient rather than anything that scales with volume. Most Creme Freeze flavors have no coffee or energy ingredient at all and are caffeine-free.
Hot chocolate and other caffeine-free drinks
| Drink | Caffeine |
|---|---|
| Hot Chocolate (Cocoa Carmella, Mellow, Mint, White, all varieties) | 0 mg |
| Lemonade / Frozen Lemonade | 0 mg |
| Orange Juice | 0 mg |
| Kids' hot chocolate and Magic Milk drinks | 0 mg |
Unlike some chains where hot chocolate carries a trace amount of caffeine from cocoa solids, BIGGBY's own guide lists every hot chocolate variety at a flat 0 mg.
Five things that surprise people about BIGGBY's caffeine
- A 16 oz and a 20 oz flavored latte have identical caffeine — 126 mg either way. The extra 4 oz is milk, not more espresso.
- A 20 oz and a 24 oz Americano are also identical — both 252 mg — meaning the largest Americano is pure added water.
- Red Eye, not any latte, is BIGGBY's strongest regular drink, reaching 438 mg at 24 oz — over the FDA's entire daily reference amount in one cup.
- BIGGBY Blast doesn't scale with size at all — 102 mg whether you order a 16 oz or a 24 oz.
- Hot chocolate is genuinely 0 mg across every variety, with no trace caffeine from cocoa the way some competitors' menus show.
BIGGBY vs other chains
| Drink | Caffeine |
|---|---|
| BIGGBY Red Eye, hot, 24 oz | 438 mg |
| Starbucks Grande Pike Place, brewed | 310 mg |
| BIGGBY Iced Coffee, 24 oz | 313 mg |
| BIGGBY brewed coffee, 24 oz | 285 mg |
| BIGGBY Americano, any 20/24oz | 252 mg |
| Tim Hortons medium brewed | 205 mg |
| BIGGBY Sweet Foam Cold Brew, 20oz | 187 mg |
| BIGGBY flavored latte, 24 oz | 189 mg |
| Starbucks Caffè Latte (Grande) | 150 mg |
| BIGGBY flavored latte, 16 or 20 oz | 126 mg |
| Dutch Bros latte (medium) | 95 mg |
BIGGBY's brewed coffee and Red Eye sit among the strongest options at any major U.S. chain — the 24 oz Red Eye specifically outranks a Starbucks Grande Pike Place. Its espresso-based lattes, by contrast, land closer to the middle of the pack.
How many BIGGBY drinks a day is safe?
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration cites 400 mg a day as an amount not generally associated with negative effects in healthy adults.
| Drink | Share of 400 mg guideline |
|---|---|
| 16/20 oz flavored latte (126 mg) | 32% |
| 24 oz flavored latte (189 mg) | 47% |
| 24 oz brewed coffee (285 mg) | 71% |
| 20/24 oz Americano (252 mg) | 63% |
| 24 oz Red Eye, hot (438 mg) | 110% |
A single 24 oz hot Red Eye already exceeds the daily guideline on its own — there's no room for any other caffeine that day if you want to stay under it. Lower ceilings are commonly cited for some groups: around 200 mg a day in pregnancy, which a 20 oz Americano already exceeds, and roughly 100 mg for adolescents, close to a single small flavored latte. Sensitivity varies a great deal between individuals. Talk to a doctor or pharmacist if you're pregnant, have a heart condition or anxiety disorder, or take medication that interacts with stimulants.
