I am from Vermont but have lived in Minneapolis for about 8-9 months carribou is everywhere… i like it for a chain… but i still prefer the black coffees from the smaller shops as well as thier deapthcharges.. and i like coffee black to get the full flavor and jolt.. so caribou is good but Dunn Bros. for a chain is superior in my book but still prefer spyhouse or the Beat in uptown Minneapolis MN. THanks for the chart great info by the way

I’m in Maryland and I have still never seen a Caribou coffee place, but the bottled Iced Coffee + Espresso is pretty good. You should make a Dunkin’ Donuts chart. I drink massive amounts of their coffee.

Never been a fan of coffee. Bad flavor, bad breath, yellow teeth. ; )

But I admire it all for the caffeine and the smooth effects. Caribou is one of my favorite places here in town. (and their french toast muffins are a must-have).

I haven’t had the pleasure of trying Caribou since I live in California, but my friends from other states say it’s the best.. Still I’ve grown used to Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf (helps that I get it for free). And I’m not a hundred percent sure what was up , but the last time I had It’s A Grind not only was I completely satisfied with the coffee, but I felt like it gave me quite a buzz for normal coffee.

I enjoy the taste of Caribou far more than any other chain (Yeah, I’m looking at you, Barsucks), and I’ve always enjoyed the depth charge. Sometimes, I’ll even get an extra shot of espresso. Considering it has a nearly a half a gram of caffeine, no calories, and costs less than three dollars, it is the best way to get your buzz on without breaking the bank. I will have to give the Cafe Americano a whirl next time I’m in one though. I figured everything else just quaked in the shadow of the depth charge’s caffeine content.

nah, not really for a coffee house as they make a pretty strong brew i.e. Starbucks 12oz has 260mg. I usually have to put milk in it because it’s a tad too strong for me and I like it strong..

Yea I wouldn’t assume it’s the same caffeine amount for the bottled coffee. But isn’t 230mg really high for brewed 12oz? I thought 8oz was averaged to 100mg.

Thanks for the info Tim! To bad they don’t list the actual caffeine content..We’ll see if we can nail the actual amount down.
