Amazon's Bestselling Coffee Makers

Does home brewed coffee have more caffiene than coffee shop coffee?

I buy one or two large coffees, triple-triples....(I know bad), every morning before work at Tim Horton's or Coffee Time (It's like Dunkin' Donuts for you Americans). Anyway I feel fine from their coffee, no jitters, just awake and the coffee tastes fine. When I make coffee at home however and even if it is weak coffee and have one small cup I get the jitters! I am shaky, my eyes are darting across the room, I feel dizzy, and it is hard to concentrate. The serving I have at home are also smaller than the large cup I have at the shop before work.

I have used Folgers, Maxwell House, and a few store-label brands like President's Choice, Equality, and Compliments with the same horrible result. My coffee maker also has its own filter, I wash the pot and filter after use and I clean it with vinegar and water once a month. If that makes any difference.

I work in a coffee shop, so I know that our coffee should have slightly MORE caffeine than that brewed at home. This is because commercial machines, i.e. really expensive machines, keep the water at a constant 198 degrees, the "perfect" temperature for brewing coffee and extracting the most caffeine and flavor from the grounds. Most home coffee machines get up to around 170 degrees.
