Xyience Xenergy vs Super Coffee: which has more caffeine?

Super Coffee has more caffeine than Xyience Xenergy on both counts: 200mg per 12 oz bottle against 176mg per 16 oz can, and about 17mg per fluid ounce against 11. The serving sizes differ, so the table below shows both ways of counting.

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.

Xyience Xenergy vs Super Coffee: the numbers

Xyience Xenergy Super Coffee
Caffeine per serving 176mg per 16 oz can 200mg per 12 oz bottle
Caffeine per fl oz 11.0mg 16.7mg
Servings to reach 400mg (FDA context) 2.3 2.0

Sources: Xyience Xenergy's figure is verified in our Xyience Xenergy caffeine guide against Caffeine Informer (source); Super Coffee's figure is verified in our Super Coffee guide against Super Coffee product data (source).

Which one should you pick?

Pick Xyience Xenergy 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.
