(NC) - The next time you are stuck not knowing what to serve for dessert, do remember that some dinner party coffees are so eye-catching they overshadow the arrival of dessert anyway.

Tip By Tchibo:

- A cup of filtered coffee, or espresso: 50 mg
- One can of energy drink: average 80 mg
- One can of cola: average 40 mg
- One cup of tea: 30-50 mg
- One bar of dark chocolate: around 100 mg
