Brewed Starbucks Espresso Coffee

Brewed Starbucks Espresso Coffee is a concentrated coffee beverage made from finely ground coffee beans that are brewed under high pressure. It is the base for many coffee drinks, providing a strong, rich coffee flavor and aroma.

Manufacturers use brewed espresso to add a distinct coffee flavor and caffeine to a variety of beverages. It is most commonly found in ready-to-drink coffee beverages, lattes, cappuccinos, and other coffee-based drinks.

Espresso is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a food ingredient. It contains caffeine, which can have stimulant effects. JECFA has evaluated coffee and caffeine, and EFSA has also evaluated caffeine. At typical consumption levels, moderate intake of caffeine is not associated with adverse health effects for most adults. However, some individuals may be more sensitive to caffeine's effects.
