The Caffeine Content of Starbucks Frappuccinos

When you’re tired and you have a long day ahead of you, you can always rely on caffeine to get you through those weary hours. Starbucks has many drinks that are jam-packed with caffeine. But drinking a plain latte or an iced coffee every day can lose its excitement. Your taste buds need something delicious, creamy and sugary!

Luckily, there is an entire menu dedicated to Frappuccinos, which are ice cold, sweet, and have caffeine. But not every cappuccino has caffeine, and some caffeine Frappuccinos only have a small amount of caffeine.

So which Frappuccinos have caffeine?

Frappuccinos that have caffeine get it from two sources. The first source is from the coffee base and the second source is from the chemicals in certain ingredients. Just because a Frappuccino does not have a coffee base does not mean it does not have caffeine.

Here’s a list of Frappuccinos that have caffeine:

• Coffee Frappuccino
• Espresso Frappuccino
• Mocha Frappuccino
• Java Chip Frappuccino
• Cafe Vanilla Frappuccino
• Cinnamon Dolce Frappuccino
• Caramel Light Frappuccino
• Green Tea Frappuccino – The Green Tea Frappuccino does not contain any coffee, as green tea naturally has caffeine
• The Double Chocolate Chip Frappuccino – This Frappuccino does not contain any coffee, but chocolate contains a small amount of caffeine
• Chai Creme Frappuccino – Like the Green Tea Frappuccino, this Frappuccino does not contain any coffee. But Chai leaves naturally have a small amount of caffeine
• Pistachio Frappuccino
• Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino
• Peppermint White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino
• White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino
• Chestnut Praline Frappuccino
• Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino
• Sugar Cookie Almond Milk Frappuccino
• Toasted White Chocolate Mocha Frappuccino
• Caramel Ribbon Crunch Frappuccino
• Caramel Frappuccino

So now that you know which Frappuccinos have caffeine, you need to learn how much caffeine comes in the Grande Size. The most common drink size order at Starbucks is the Grande. Some people find that ordering a tall is not enough and ordering a venti is far too much.

Amount of Caffeine In Starbucks Frappuccinos

Here is the amount of caffeine for every coffee-containing Frappuccino in a Grande size:

If you order a Tall or a Venti Frappuccino, just subtract 30 milligrams of caffeine if you order a Tall and add 30 milligrams of caffeine if you order a Venti.

For example, the Mocha Frappuccino has 100 milligrams of caffeine. But the tall Mocha Frappuccino will have 70 milligrams and the Venti Mocha Frappuccino will have 130 milligrams.

As you can see, most Grande Frappuccino drinks that have caffeine range between 90 milligrams and 155 milligrams. So now we have to ask, Is this enough caffeine?

While any amount of caffeine will provide you with extra energy, not a single Grande Frappuccino contains as much caffeine as a Grande brewed coffee.

A Grande brewed coffee, like the Pike Place Medium Roast, has 310 milligrams of caffeine. This amount of caffeine is the equivalent of drinking two Grande Espresso Frappuccino.

What About the Caffeine Levels in Non-Coffee Frappuccinos?

So now that we’ve gone over the caffeine levels of Grande sized coffee-based Frappuccinos, what about the caffeine levels of Grande Frappuccinos that don’t have a coffee base? These drinks contain caffeine because these drinks have chocolate, green tea and chai.

• Matcha Crème Frappuccino – 70 mg
• Chai Crème Frappuccino – 40 mg
• Double Chocolaty Chip Crème Frappuccino – 15 mg
• Chocolate Cookie Crumble Crème Frappuccino – 15 mg
• Peppermint Mocha Crème Frappuccino – 10 mg

How to add More Caffeine to Frappuccinos

There are two principal ways to add more caffeine to a Frappuccino. The first way is to order an added shot for the Frappuccino.

Add an Espresso Shot

When you order an added espresso shot, the barista will make an espresso shot of your choice and add it to the blender cup and make the Frappuccino as usual.

There are two types of espresso shots available at every Starbucks. Those espressos are the regular espresso, known as the Signature Roast and the Blonde espresso. Most baristas prefer the blonde espresso as it does not have a strong or scalded flavor.

The Blond Espresso shot has slightly more caffeine than the Signature roast espresso. The Blonde Espresso has 85 milligrams of caffeine, while the Signature Roast Espresso has 75 milligrams of caffeine.

Add More Coffee Base

The second way to add more caffeine to your Starbucks Frappuccino is to request additional pumps of coffee base. In every coffee-based Frappuccino, excluding the expressive Frappuccino, coffee base is added to the blender cup along with the Frappuccino syrup and other ingredients. The standard pumps depend on the size.

A venti Frappuccino will receive 4 pumps of coffee base, a Grande Frappuccino will receive 3 pumps of coffee base, and the tall Frappuccino will receive 2 pumps of coffee base.

Two pumps of coffee base equals 60 to 65 milligrams of caffeine

Three pumps of coffee base are 90 to 95 milligrams of caffeine

Four pumps of coffee base, which is the venti size, will be 110 to 115 milligrams of caffeine.

An extra pump of coffee base is 30 to 35 milligrams.
