A 7 fl oz can of RISE Original Black nitro cold brew carries 180 mg of caffeine, and the 10 oz can of the same black coffee runs 250 mg. The oat milk lattes are a different animal: an Oat Milk Latte can is 80 mg in the same 7 oz format. RISE lists 180 mg per 7 oz serving on its Original Black product page, and Caffeine Informer confirms the 250 mg figure for the 10 oz can.
Why the can in your hand matters more than the brand
RISE sells two very different products under the same nitro cold brew banner, and the shelf does not spell out the gap. The black coffees, Original Black and any straight cold brew variant, are strong. That little 7 oz can at 180 mg is denser than most people expect from something that fits in one hand. For reference, a Starbucks tall brewed coffee is around 235 mg in 12 oz, so RISE is packing roughly three-quarters of that caffeine into a can barely over half the size. The 10 oz black can at 250 mg edges past that tall drip in less volume.
The oat milk lattes are where people get surprised in the other direction. Those cans blend cold brew with oat milk, so a 7 oz Oat Milk Latte is 80 mg, less than half the caffeine of the Original Black in the identical can. The Oat Milk Latte listing states 80 mg per can outright. If you are reaching for RISE as an afternoon pick-me-up and grabbing lattes, you are getting closer to a single shot of espresso than to a full cold brew.
RISE nitro cold brew caffeine by can
| Product | Can size | Caffeine |
|---|---|---|
| Original Black Nitro Cold Brew | 7 fl oz | 180 mg |
| Original Black Nitro Cold Brew | 10 fl oz | 250 mg |
| Oat Milk Latte Nitro Cold Brew | 7 fl oz | 80 mg |
Figures come from RISE Brewing Co.'s official Original Black page (180 mg per 7 oz), Caffeine Informer (250 mg for the 10 oz black can), and the Oat Milk Latte case listing (80 mg). The black cans hold about 25 mg per fl oz, roughly double the concentration of the oat milk lattes. The Mocha and Vanilla oat milk lattes are built on the same oat milk base, so treat them as closer to the latte number than the black number, and check the individual can if you want an exact figure.
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.
Practical read for anyone drinking these on a shift: two Original Black 10 oz cans put you at 500 mg, past the FDA's daily context line in two drinks. Two of the 7 oz black cans land at 360 mg, which leaves a little room. Stack oat milk lattes instead and you would need more than six cans to reach the same place. The point is the same one every RTD cold brew teaches, know which can you actually grabbed before you judge how wired you feel.

FAQ
How much caffeine is in a can of RISE nitro cold brew? The 7 oz Original Black can has 180 mg, the 10 oz black can has 250 mg, and the 7 oz Oat Milk Latte has 80 mg.
Why does the RISE oat milk latte have so much less caffeine? The lattes are cold brew cut with oat milk, so the same 7 oz can holds about 80 mg versus 180 mg for the straight black coffee.
Is RISE nitro cold brew stronger than regular coffee? By concentration, yes. The black cans run about 25 mg per fl oz, denser than a typical cup of drip, so a small 7 oz can still delivers 180 mg.
