Super Coffee vs Celsius: which has more caffeine?

Super Coffee has more caffeine than Celsius: 200mg vs 200mg in the same 12 oz bottle. That is a 0mg gap, and since the cans match, the per-serving number is the whole story.

These are different categories of drink, which changes how the caffeine arrives. Energy drinks and sodas list an exact number because caffeine is a measured additive; brewed drinks vary with the beans and the brew, so their figures are compiled averages. The numbers here are the standard published values for each.

Super Coffee vs Celsius: the numbers

Super Coffee Celsius
Caffeine per serving 200mg per 12 oz bottle 200mg per 12 oz can
Caffeine per fl oz 16.7mg 16.7mg
Servings to reach 400mg (FDA context) 2.0 2.0

Sources: Super Coffee's figure is verified in our Super Coffee caffeine guide against Super Coffee product data (source); Celsius's figure is verified in our Celsius guide against Celsius essential facts (source).

Which one should you pick?

Pick Celsius when you want the lighter dose or a slower ramp, and Super Coffee when you actually need the bigger hit and know your tolerance. If you are stacking either with other caffeinated drinks through the day, run the math against the 400mg reference rather than guessing.

For context, the FDA cites 400mg of caffeine a day as an amount generally not associated with negative effects in healthy adults. Tolerance and health vary, so treat these numbers as information, not advice.
