I get so tired of people equating espresso with high amounts of caffeine. I don't know where that originated... maybe because of the high temp / pressure extraction and the oils making it so much richer?
- Godel_unicode 6y agoWell it is much higher caffeine/volume, it's just that you (typically) drink a much lower volume of it.
- dfee 6y agoA Starbucks Espresso shot has 75mg at 1oz. A Starbucks dark roast (short size) has 130mg at 8oz - that is 16.25mg/oz. That means the espresso has 4.6x the caffeine per volume. I’d say those people you’re tired of have something worth listening to. https://globalassets.starbucks.com/assets/94fbcc2ab1e24359850fa1870fc988bc.pdf https://globalassets.starbucks.com/assets/94fbcc2ab1e2435985...
- leetrout 6y agoBut look who I was responding to: people think a single shot of espresso had more caffeine than a cup of coffee and that is not true. Starbucks drinks typically have 2 shots (such as a grande mocha) which gonna be around the same amount of caffeine as a cup of coffee
