9-1-1 caffeine
Dutch Bros 9-1-1 Caffeine by Size and Style
A standard Dutch Bros 9-1-1 lists about 290 milligrams of caffeine in every hot and iced size. The blended 9-1-1 is different: small, medium, and large rows list 250, 345, and 440 milligrams, respectively.
How much caffeine is in a Dutch Bros 9-1-1?
The bundled May 28, 2026 nutrition table gives the same 290-milligram caffeine value for small, medium, and large standard 9-1-1 drinks when they are hot or iced. Choosing a larger cup changes other parts of those recipes, but the listed caffeine does not rise between those three sizes.
Blended rows must be read separately. A small blended 9-1-1 lists 250 milligrams, a medium lists 345, and a large lists 440. That makes the large blended row the highest-caffeine standard 9-1-1 in the bundled guide, while the small blended row is lower than any standard hot or iced size.
- Hot small, medium, and large: about 290mg caffeine each.
- Iced small, medium, and large: about 290mg caffeine each.
- Blended small: 250mg; medium: 345mg; large: 440mg.
Why cup size does not always predict caffeine
A larger drink can contain more milk, ice, base, or other recipe components without necessarily adding more coffee. The source table reports the result for each complete item; it does not publish enough recipe detail here to infer exactly how every component changes. The most reliable approach is to use the caffeine value on the exact style-and-size row.
Do not multiply the small hot value to estimate a large hot 9-1-1, and do not apply the fixed hot/iced pattern to a Freeze. Likewise, the blended medium value cannot be calculated by averaging the other sizes. Selecting the matching row avoids those assumptions and makes a comparison reproducible.
Calories and sugar still change in hot and iced sizes
Even though standard hot and iced caffeine stays at 290 milligrams, calories do not. Hot small, medium, and large 9-1-1 rows list 350, 490, and 630 calories. Iced rows list 280, 350, and 490. Their sugar values also rise: hot has 50, 54, and 58 grams, while iced has 48, 50, and 54.
This is why caffeine alone cannot summarize the drink. A large iced 9-1-1 and a small iced one share the same listed caffeine but differ by 210 calories and 6 grams of sugar. When comparing sizes, review the complete row, including fat, carbohydrate, sodium, protein, and the milk allergen callout.
Blended 9-1-1 calories, sugar, and caffeine move together differently
Small, medium, and large blended 9-1-1 rows list 420, 620, and 820 calories. Sugar rises from 68 to 96 to 124 grams, while caffeine rises from 250 to 345 to 440 milligrams. Those three fields all increase with blended size, but each has its own amount and should be taken from the exact record.
If you switch from iced to blended, do not carry the iced nutrition values over. The medium example changes from 350 calories and 290 milligrams of caffeine iced to 620 calories and 345 milligrams blended. Style is part of the product definition, not merely a display preference.
Extra shots and Zero Sugar Added are separate questions
The figures above apply to standard named rows. Adding shots changes the order and should not be represented by the untouched standard value. Use the calculator's separately listed espresso item only as a transparent estimate when it matches the added shot, and verify current preparation details when precision matters.
The guide also contains 9-1-1 Zero Sugar Added hot and iced rows. Those list approximately 288 to 289 milligrams of caffeine and have their own calorie, sugar, fat, and allergen values. Zero Sugar Added does not mean caffeine free, calorie free, or necessarily zero listed sugar, so select the named product rather than modifying a standard row mentally.
Use caffeine numbers as estimates, not personal limits
The official Dutch Bros guide states that caffeine values are approximate. Actual preparation and product updates can introduce variation, and individual response to caffeine differs. This article reports menu-source values; it does not determine whether a 9-1-1 is appropriate for a particular person or time of day.
People who are pregnant, take medication, have a medical condition, experience caffeine sensitivity, or are managing sleep should use current official information and qualified professional guidance. For ordinary planning, compare the exact row with everything else you expect to consume and avoid treating a website total as a safety guarantee.
- Confirm whether the order is hot, iced, or blended.
- Use the exact listed size even when two rows share a value.
- Account for extra shots as separate additions rather than ignoring them.
- Recheck official sources because menu and caffeine information can change.
