Frappuccinos from Starbucks often face criticism for being too sweet and milkshake-like. However, they do contain coffee, specifically a unique powdered coffee known as Frappuccino Roast. This drink combines coffee with various syrups, sauces, and milk, creating a blend that many enjoy. A grande Frappuccino has about 100 mg of caffeine, similar to a regular cup of coffee, but the flavor can be diluted by the other ingredients. For those who prefer a stronger coffee taste, extra pumps of Frappuccino Roast can be added.
