How much caffeine is in Double Espresso?

Two shots pulled together give a double espresso around 126 mg of caffeine, the same wallop as a strong full mug condensed into two ounces. It's the choice when one shot won't cut it, and the dose roughly doubles to match.

Will Double Espresso affect your sleep?

At 126 mg, a doppio needs about seven hours to slip under 50 mg, so a mid-afternoon double can still be working when you turn in. Keep it to the morning if you want it well clear by bedtime.
