Roughly a standard cup of coffee's worth. Fine in the morning; for an average metabolizer, finish it a few hours before bed. At 75 mg per 8 oz brew, this drink is 19% of the FDA's 400 mg daily ceiling for healthy adults.
Pods run 60–90 mg across brands and roast lines; 75 mg is a workable middle for a standard 8 oz brew.
