What's up with the caffeine in Espresso?
Caffeine is an Alkaloid found in coffee. It stimulates the nervouse system and when taken in the right amounts, it causes the release of adrenaline that can enhance heart function.
Contrary to belief, a cup of espressohas less caffeine than an American coffee. Arabica coffees contain .9% to 1.5% caffeine compared to 2% to 3.5% for Robusta beas.
Caffeine content also depends on how long a coffee is brewed. The longer the water is allowed to pass throguh the ground coffee, the more caffeine it takes with it to the cup. An espresso, brewing at only 25 seconds, extracts less caffeine than an American cofee that brews for several minutes.
On Average, an espresso might have 50 to 60 mg of caffeiene compared to 100 mg or more for a cup of American cofee.
