a single espresso is one "shot" or draw from the coffee blend. most coffee shops , to make a regular filter coffee will just top this up with hot water. so...same caffiene if you finish the cup..., just less water!
its a concentrated coffee like the Turkish or the Arabic very strong ,usually is served in a small cup and not more then one inces hi. Greater flavor and is recommended for tiramisu cake.
Yes and No.
An espresso cup has about as much caffeine as a cup of strong coffee. But servings for espresso are much smaller. Which means that the content of caffeine per milliliter are much higher than with a regular brew. Moreover, caffeine is more quickly assimilated when taken in concentrated dosages, such as an espresso cup.
The myth of lower caffeine espresso comes comes from the fact that the darker roast beans used for espresso do have less caffeine than regularly roasted beans as roasting is supposed to break up or sublimate the caffeine in the beans (I have read this quote in research articles, but found no scientific studies supporting it. Anybody out there?).
Here's the caffeine content of Drip/Espresso/Brewed Coffee:
Drip 115-175
Espresso 100 1 serving (1-2oz)
Brewed 80-135
Sort of
Exspresso is just a really strong coffee, it's not diluted with water, so it does have more caffiene if u r comparing it 2 an equal size cup of coffee.
It has the same amount of caffeine, but more flavor and less acid. The stronger flavor confuses people into thinking it has more caffeine.
