We rank drinks to know the most caffeinated one of all

First thing in the morning or smack in the middle of the afternoon, it’s common for most people—especially for the working class—to grab a cup of coffee to wake us up. And even then each one has their preferences: black, iced, latte, cappuccino, cafe mocha, and so on. On the other hand, some might opt for tea instead, since it also contains the stimulating and much-needed caffeine.

But which drink is the most effective? Let’s settle this once and for all with this basic guide.
