How much caffeine is in Cappuccino?

A classic cappuccino is built on one espresso shot, giving it about 63 mg of caffeine under its cap of foam. The smaller 6 oz serve makes it feel like a treat, but the caffeine matches a single shot rather than a full mug.

Will Cappuccino affect your sleep?

At 63 mg, a cappuccino dips below 50 mg within roughly two hours and clears over the evening. It's a relatively sleep-friendly coffee, though an after-dinner one can still keep a sensitive sleeper bright-eyed.
