How much caffeine is in Vietnamese Coffee (cà phê)?
Vietnamese cà phê uses robusta beans and a slow phin filter, packing about 130 mg of caffeine into a small 4 oz serving. Robusta has nearly double the caffeine of arabica, so this little cup hits hard, sweetened with condensed milk.
| Serving | Caffeine | Sugar |
|---|---|---|
| 4 oz | 130 mg | 14 g |
Robusta + phin filter; very concentrated. Sugar from sweetened condensed milk.
Will Vietnamese Coffee (cà phê) affect your sleep?
From 130 mg, Vietnamese coffee needs around seven hours to fall under 50 mg, so an afternoon cup can still be active at bedtime. Its small size hides a punch worth respecting in the evening.
