A standard 12oz bottle of Super Coffee has 200mg of caffeine, plus 10g of protein and 0g of added sugar, according to Super Coffee's own product pages. The 15oz XXTRA can also runs 200mg. So whichever of the two you grab, plan on about a large-drip's worth of caffeine, not a light latte.
Why the bottle size matters more than the flavor
Super Coffee (made by Kitu) keeps caffeine steady across flavors within a line. Caramel, vanilla, mocha, they all pour the same numbers. What changes the dose is which line you pick up, because the sizes differ. The core bottle is 12oz. The XXTRA can is 15oz. Both land at 200mg of caffeine, but the core bottle is a touch more concentrated at roughly 16.7mg per ounce versus about 13.3mg per ounce for XXTRA.
The protein is where the lines split. The core bottle carries 10g. XXTRA drops to 7g because it leans more energy drink than protein coffee. The Protein+ line goes the other way, packing 25g of protein into a 12oz bottle at 150 calories. All three keep added sugar at 0g and lean on no-calorie sweeteners rather than sugar, per the labels. If you are buying Super Coffee for the caffeine, the core bottle and XXTRA are the two that both hit 200mg.
Super Coffee caffeine, protein, and sugar by line
| Product line | Size | Caffeine | mg per oz | Protein | Added sugar | Calories |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Super Coffee (core bottle) | 12oz | 200mg | ~16.7mg | 10g | 0g | ~80 |
| Super Coffee XXTRA | 15oz | 200mg | ~13.3mg | 7g | 0g | 130 |
| Super Coffee Protein+ | 12oz | label varies | n/a | 25g | 0g | 150 |
Numbers from Super Coffee's official product pages, including the XXTRA Mocha nutrition panel (200mg caffeine, 7g protein, 130 calories, 15oz) and the core 12oz bottle listing (200mg caffeine, 10g protein, 0g added sugar). Protein+ is built around 25g of protein at 150 calories; its caffeine is printed on the individual bottle, so read the panel rather than trusting a round number.
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.
Two bottles of the core 200mg Super Coffee in a day already puts you at 400mg, so it stacks faster than it looks next to a 90mg cup of drip.

Where to buy and how it compares
As an Amazon Associate, Barista Life earns from qualifying purchases.
Super Coffee sells in most grocery coolers, but the 12-packs are usually cheaper by the bottle online. If you want to stock the core 200mg bottle or the XXTRA can, you can compare Super Coffee multipacks on Amazon and check the current panel on each listing, since Kitu occasionally tweaks the formula.
Against a black cold brew, Super Coffee's 200mg is right in the same neighborhood as a grande cold brew, but you also get 10g of protein and no sugar crash. Against a canned energy drink, it lands near the top of the range while still tasting like coffee rather than candy.

FAQ
How much caffeine is in one Super Coffee? A core 12oz bottle and a 15oz XXTRA can both have 200mg of caffeine. Flavor does not change the number within a line; size and line do.
Does Super Coffee have sugar? The core, XXTRA, and Protein+ lines all list 0g of added sugar and sweeten with no-calorie sweeteners rather than sugar. Any total sugars on the panel come from the dairy and coffee, not added sweetener.
Is 200mg of caffeine a lot? It is half of the 400mg daily amount the FDA cites as generally fine for healthy adults, so one bottle is moderate, but two in a day reaches that ceiling on their own.
