Yep. I saw a table the other day that showed just how much caffeine there was in various kinds of coffee. Hmm. A coffee table. Fancy that! A single cup of drip coffee (even freshly made) has around triple the caffeine of an espresso. There's a good description here of the Ethiopian

If you were to drink as much espresso as most of us drink restaurant cofffee they would have to pry you off the ceiling with a crowbar. Six or eight cups of that watery stuff is bad enough. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com http://webpages.charter.net/graywolf Idiot Proof == Expert

I drink french press coffee in the morning. I grind five tablespoons of good beans for my 16 once mug. I heat the water to just below boiling and soak the beans for five minutes in the hot water before pressing them and pouring off the coffee. It's powerful stuff, but very flavorful. Based on

The soak time you're giving it is infusing a huge amount of caffeine into the beverage. That's an amphetamine habit ... ;-) I'm really not into the caffeine buzz, I'm looking for flavor. I do the drip coffee with a by eye metered amount of beans into the grinder based on experimenting to

My body says something entirely different. I can drink 6-8 cups of regular coffee with no effect. One double espresso and I am about to climb the walls. However, I am quite used to the experts (or at least their press agents) lying to me. -- graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com
