How much caffeine is in each Nespresso capsule?

The caffeine content per brewed espresso capsule will vary between approximately 55 and 65 mg. The lungo blends contain 20% more coffee per capsule; therefore, they have slightly higher caffeine content, about 77-89 mg.

This variation depends mainly on the green coffee (Arabica vs. Robusta), the degree of roasting and to a lesser extent, the coffee origin.  Our decaffeinated blends contain roughly 0.005 mg of caffeine. There is no correlation between the assigned "intensity" and caffeine content.

  •  
    • Espresso (40 ml/1.35 oz) --> around 55-65 mg of caffeine
    • Lungo (110 ml/ 3.75 oz) --> around 77-89 mg of caffeine
    • Espresso decaffeinato (40 ml/1.35 oz)  --> less than 0.005 mg of caffeine
    • Lungo decaffeinato (110 ml/ 3.75 oz) --> less than 0.008 mg of caffeine
