Where it sits

Stronger than 120 of the 345 other drinks in the catalogue, and weaker than 217.

That is 38 mg in a 5–6 oz cup (150–180 ml) serving — a concentration of 23 mg per 100 ml. The scale above ranks whole servings, and servings differ in size, so a larger drink can sit further right while being weaker cup for cup.
