Not an ideal combination in my experience. (TikTok screencap)

As someone with ADHD, stimulants like caffeine actually do relieve my anxiety. In fact, coffee makes me sleepy.
Sometimes the mix of not getting enough sleep and a bit of coffeine makes me extremely energetic, and not anxious for some reason, lol. It’s like I no longer have some kind of blockade in my brain.
But in the long run… well… it’s not good.
That’s one and a half cups of espresso. Insane amounts of caffeine, borderline lethal.
Edit: removed incorrect quantities about health limits of caffeine, don’t comment at 2am, friends. Left the article here tho.
According to your link, toxic dose is >10g/day and not 1g
Toxic doses, over 10 grams per day for an adult, greatly exceed the typical dose of under 500 milligrams per day.
Also, >500mg/day will not send you to the hospital…sincerely me, drinking 3-4 double espresso (that’s ~150mg/cup) before lunch at work. Healthy? No doubt it isn’t…but also very far from lethal.
Ah sorry, 2am commenting moment
A colleague of mine had a habit of dousing espressos upon having anxiety episodes. Naturally, she ended up having a cardiac episode (not an attack but something similar) a couple of years later and now she doesn’t like any form of coffee
I bet that this thing don’t have more than 5mg of caffeine
Thats a Venti Iced cold foam cold brew which contains about 18 oz of liquid.
Orleans Coffee claims that a 12 oz Serving of cold brew has between 170 and 245 mg caffeine. Let’s take the average of that: about 207. Compare to our 18 oz of coffee above: 207*1.5=310.5 mg.
That’s more than two regular cups of coffee.
While y’all have been complaining about desert coffee not being real coffee, the rest of us have been earning untenable caffeine addictions at the hands of cold brew and iced lattes.
I could be wrong that its cold brew, it could be an iced latte in which case, it’d be about 225 mg (assuming no extra shot, it suspiciously dark for a standard iced latte though)
To me it looks like about 1/3 of that is just ice and you are getting ripped off
The ice cubes are hollow. The ice cubes have about 6-8 fl oz total displacement (its so weird to talk about displacement in freedom units) in that size. Volumetrically: you’re absolutely right, they fill the cup entirely. Go into a starbucks and watch them make drinks, they add the ice last, which shows you exactly how much liquid you’re getting (its the top black line, those are measurements)
Edit: I’m not saying you’re not getting ripped off, you are, but not nearly as badly as it looks.
I just watched them make my drink. They used a separate container to mix my iced drink before putting it into the cup. I specifically ask for light ice or most of the cup is full of ice(I do not know how that affects actual volume due to tapering + not filling to brim). I know this because I have a tendency to drink too fast and that’s how I noticed when I have a half a cup of ice left over, And why I ask for light ice now.
I do think it’s a rip off but not everyone drinks the same way and the cold cups are different volumes as well, possibly to offset the use of ice
Venti cold cups are 26 oz, the others are the same as their hot counterparts.
If your beverage was an iced tea, those are always made in a separate Container.
You can get it with the extra liquid, but you MUST be specific and mention you’d like “Lite ice, filled to the brim” or they’ll use the recipe card which will get you a less filled cup.
Back when I was a barista I trained my team to just make a sized up when folks ask for lite ice (because fuck corporate’s bottom line idgaf) and just use the ice scoop for the size down (ie, venti lire code gets trenta recipe with grande ice).
Calm down, Tweak. Here, have some coffee.
I’m in this image and I don’t like it.
