    contained as much caffeine as the restaurant’s dark roast coffee

    That part. Though I don’t think people realize how much caffeine is in their dark roast coffee. Because it is more caffeine than multiple energy drinks for the same volume. There’s a reason a standard cup of coffee is like 6 oz instead of 20 oz.

      It also includes the caffeine “dosage” in grams for those who want/need to know. That inclusion is more prominent than the description he’s quoting.

      Flip-side, you can’t get a 6oz coffee in most of the US. The most popular coffee around me is generally sold between 20oz and 30oz sizes.
