Depending on how strong you make it, probably anywhere between 100 and 200 mg per 8 oz brewed.
I did however find an article in the WSJ stating that "Folgers was found to have 170 mg. of caffeine per 16 oz. cup" (McCarthy, Michael. The Caffeine Count in Your Morning Fix. Wall Street Journal. April 13, 2004.)
O/T - When you have your catastrophic energy drops, when was the last cup of coffee leading up to it? Any relation?
Well I usually only drink coffee in the morning..and my last cup is usually around 9am.
I do 1/2 cup coffee grounds to 12 cups. like it says on the folgers can.

You're putting down 3-4 cups of coffee in 3 or 4 hours ?

For Folgers Ground Coffee: Caffeine content can vary by blend (dark roasted coffees contain less caffeine than lighter roasted coffees), so here’s the scoop: Serving size equals 1 tablespoon ground coffee to 6 oz of water.
