Many Hong Kong people are not happy without caffeine, or even addicted to it. As long as there is no caffeine, they can't do it. There is nothing wrong with refreshing and relieving addiction by drinking caffeine, but foreign studies have pointed out that adults can only consume up to 400 milligrams of caffeine a day, that is, about four cups of coffee. Too much caffeine can lead to insomnia, high blood pressure and other problems.

Among the following kinds of coffee that Hong Kong people drink most, many of them are "pure affection". You think it looks like milk and chocolate is more than coffee, but in fact, it contains no less caffeine. Watch out!

Espresso (Drip Coffee) caffeine content: 80mg / small cup, 120mg / medium cup, 160mg / large cup

What Hong Kong people call fasting coffee is espresso. It has no milk or foam, has more caffeine than regular coffee, and is cheaper.

Foam coffee (Cappuccino) caffeine content: 80mg / small cup or medium cup, 120mg / large cup

The number one popular foam coffee consists of espresso, a little hot milk and lots of milk bubbles. Don't think that with milk it tastes milder and it won't kill. In fact, its caffeine content is equal to that of Double Shot's Espresso!

Milk coffee (Latte) caffeine content: 80mg / small cup or medium cup, 120mg / large cup

Another hot milk coffee, its method is to pour espresso into hot milk, and add a small amount of milk foam, easy to taste, when you think you drink more milk than coffee, in fact, it contains a lot of caffeine, a cup of Latte is definitely genuine coffee, not a "milk drink".

Chocolate coffee (Mocha) caffeine content: 80mg / small cup or medium cup, 120mg / large cup

Chocolate coffee is milk coffee with chocolate, and the two have similar caffeine content. Usually add chocolate paste and cocoa powder into espresso, stir and then pour milk and foam, some stores will put a bar of chocolate to improve the taste, the general calories and sugar will be higher! Afraid of being fat and careful to eat!

Espresso (Espresso) caffeine content: 40 mg / shot

Italian espresso is generally only about 30ml, the taste is sweet and bitter. If you want to be more "heavy", you can call a Double Shot, which naturally contains twice as much caffeine!

Coffee Tips:
