Which? says it asked five chains for caffeine information and used online guides; many figures were obtained through brand press offices. The brand’s public UK menu does not publish this value, so treat it as a reported figure rather than a first-party public listing.
Estimated caffeine remaining over time
These figures apply CaffCalc’s exponential model to the adjusted 180 mg starting value. They are calculations, not measurements of caffeine in a particular person.
| Hours elapsed | 3-hour half-life | 5-hour half-life | 7-hour half-life |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0 | 180 mg | 180 mg | 180 mg |
| 3 | 90 mg | 118.8 mg | 133.7 mg |
| 5 | 56.7 mg | 90 mg | 109.7 mg |
| 8 | 28.3 mg | 59.4 mg | 81.5 mg |
| 10 | 17.9 mg | 45 mg | 66.9 mg |
| 12 | 11.3 mg | 34.1 mg | 54.9 mg |
With the central five-hour model, the estimate falls below 25 mg after approximately 14.2 hours. The faster and slower columns show why one fixed clearance time should not be treated as a personal fact.
