For some brands, as little as a single cup may lead to overdose symptoms in some people.

Your Caffeine Sensitivity

Response to caffeine can vary between individuals. Those who are sensitive can experience overdose symptoms (jitters, insomnia, etc) after consuming much lower amounts of caffeine than others. Recent genetic research has shown a strong genetic component that governs the speed of caffeine metabolism.

It’s also possible to build a tolerance to caffeine over time (more caffeine is needed to achieve the same feelings of alertness).

Determining your sensitivity may come from observing your experience with caffeine, or by taking a DNA test.
