Most La Colombe 9 oz cans sit at 155mg of caffeine. That covers the Everyday Draft Latte plus the Vanilla, Mocha, and Caramel flavors, per La Colombe's own product pages. The Cold Brew can steps up to 180mg, the Triple Draft Latte tops the canned lineup at 195mg, and the Oatmilk Everyday Draft Latte is the lightest at 120mg. Every number in this guide comes straight from lacolombe.com product listings.
These little cans punch above their weight
A 9 oz La Colombe can looks like a polite single serving next to a 16 oz shop latte, but the math tells a different story. The Everyday Draft Latte works out to about 17mg of caffeine per ounce, and the Cold Brew can lands at 20mg per ounce. For reference, that per-ounce strength is well above typical drip coffee territory. La Colombe built the Draft Latte to taste like a proper cafe latte with the texture of nitro foam, and they did not water down the coffee to get there.
The lineup splits into three tiers. The oatmilk cans are the easy-drinking option at 120mg. The dairy lattes cluster at 155mg regardless of flavor, so picking Vanilla over Mocha changes your sugar, not your buzz. Then the coffee-forward cans, Cold Brew at 180mg and Triple at 195mg, are where you go when the can is doing the work of a double shot and then some.
One heads-up if you have been drinking these for years: Draft Lattes used to list 120mg, and older Amazon listings and third-party caffeine databases still carry that number. The current product pages all say 155mg for the dairy flavors, so go by the label on the can in your hand, not an old screenshot.
If your grocery store never stocks the flavor you want, La Colombe draft lattes on Amazon ship by the case.
La Colombe caffeine by product
All figures below were pulled from La Colombe's official product pages. Per-ounce numbers are rounded.
| Product | Serving size | Caffeine | Approx. mg/oz |
|---|---|---|---|
| Triple Draft Latte | 9 oz can | 195mg | 22 |
| Cold Brew | 9 oz can | 180mg | 20 |
| Everyday Draft Latte | 9 oz can | 155mg | 17 |
| Vanilla Draft Latte | 9 oz can | 155mg | 17 |
| Mocha Draft Latte | 9 oz can | 155mg | 17 |
| Caramel Draft Latte | 9 oz can | 155mg | 17 |
| Oatmilk Everyday Draft Latte | 9 oz can | 120mg | 13 |
| Cold Brew on Tap fridge pack (1 gal) | 12 oz serving | 215mg | 18 |
The fridge pack is the sneaky one. A casual 12 oz pour from that 1 gallon box is 215mg, more than any single can La Colombe sells. If you free-pour a pint glass, you are past 280mg before breakfast is over.
For context, the FDA cites 400mg of caffeine a day as an amount generally not associated with negative effects in healthy adults. How caffeine affects you depends on your own tolerance and health, so treat these numbers as information, not advice.
Practically, that means two 155mg Draft Lattes in a day keeps you at 310mg, under the FDA reference point. Two Triples puts you at 390mg, right at the line, and that is before you count anything you brewed at home.
