Can I calculate caffeine from a coffee-equivalent claim?

Amounts and units

A cup-of-coffee comparison is usually less precise than a declared milligram value because coffee amounts vary with preparation and serving size. Use an explicit caffeine amount per pouch when available. If the brand gives only a coffee-equivalent phrase, record it as a claim and leave the numerical caffeine field unresolved.
