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!
