Because Red Bull and Coffee are such different substances, it is impossible to make a direct, objective comparison. Red Bull contains other " active ingredients" that exist in different quantities and in some case don't exist at all in coffee, and have the purported effect of altering the mood/energetic feeling of those who consume it. And if you add cream or sugar to your coffee, then the energy content of the coffee will change, drastically altering the ratio against Red Bull.

However, it also contains several other energetic ingredients like taurine and sugar.ĭrinking 10 coffees and comparing this with drinking one Red Bull is easy, and quickly shows (at least for me personally) it has an entirely different effect. Highly doubting this claim, I started looking around and already found it definitely doesn't contain 10 times as much caffeine. I did a lab where I analyzed the amount of caffeine in differentĭrinks, and Red Bull had an insane amount.ġ can is additional to 3 cups or more of coffee ![]() Although I couldn't find this statement specifically there are plenty of other relevant statements around the internet: Specifically I heard mention a few times that Red Bull contains 10 times the amount of energy than an ordinary coffee. 2017 doi: 10.1016/j.fct.2017.04.002.You often hear people saying Red Bull contains a lot more energy than an ordinary coffee.
