How Much Caffeine is Found in A Mug of Coffee Made With 2 Spoons

The amount of caffeine depends on what you mean by "2 spoons" and what type of coffee you're using.

Here are some typical estimates:

• Instant coffee: 2 teaspoons (about 4 g) in one mug (8–12 oz) typically contains 60–120 mg of caffeine, depending on the brand.
• Ground coffee (brewed): If you use 2 teaspoons of ground coffee to brew a mug, you'll usually get 40–70 mg of caffeine. If you meant 2 tablespoons of grounds (a more common amount for a mug), the caffeine is typically 80–140 mg.

For comparison:

• About 95 mg is the average caffeine in an 8-ounce cup of brewed coffee.
• Up to 400 mg of caffeine per day is generally considered safe for most healthy adults.
