Does espresso have more caffiene than drip coffee?
Answers:
No. Caffiene is released due to exposure time. Drip coffee has the water sit in it and drip through, thus contacting the beans (grounds) longer, thus releasing more of the caffiene that is in the coffee.
Espresso has the water forced through it, thus limiting the exposure time. Now, if you want to compare a quad shot vs. an 8 oz cup of coffee it may be different - since more grounds are used to extract espresso it may be closer, but drip would probably still win out in the caffiene arena.
