On behalf of the ONU Healthwise Team 

Sabrina Carpenter is a new superstar in the music industry. She released a top 10 hit in over 20 countries in 2024 called Espresso. She performed on Saturday Night Live when she was the musical guest on May 18, 2024.

Espresso is a concentrated coffee beverage where hot water is forced over the finely ground coffee via pressure. One ounce of espresso has about 63mg of caffeine.

Caffeine is quickly becoming the go-to boost for many, especially among younger people looking for an extra burst of energy throughout the day. A daily dose of up to 400 mg can help you feel more mentally sharp and physically energized. It is important to understand that 400mg of caffeine at one time can be dangerous to your health.
