I've been drinking the Starbuck's House Blend and French Roast coffees for a couple years now. I get them in the whole bean bags, and have a grind & brew coffee maker. I ran out of the Starbucks, and made coffee with a preground [name removed to protect the innocent}] brand. The amount of caffeine in the [Dragnet] brand was high.

So I'm curious if this is something anyone else has experienced? I use the measurer from the grinder, and measure 5 scoops and make six cups of coffee. So by my standards I'm using *less* coffee then the package says, yet the ground coffee (non-Starbuck's) has way more caffeine then the whole bean coffee.
