Amazon.com: Books: Caffeine and Behavior:Current Views and Research Trends (#)

„In 16 chapters, global contributors explore the inconsistent empirical data on the psychobehavioral effects of caffeine regarding such issues of interest to coffee, tea, and cola imbibers as caffeine's effects on cognitive and motor performance, mood, attention, and fatigue. They address whether drinks such as espresso can cause dependence; caffeine's interaction with other drugs; the key role of adenosine receptors in the brain; how expectations affect behavior; and bridging the gap between animal and human research. The conclusion calls for further research on the sites and mechanisms of caffeine's action, and its complex effects on diverse tasks. -- Copyright © 1999 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR All rights reserved“

Interview with a Roastmaster (#)

„"When you sprinkle sugar in a good espresso, it should sit on top of the espresso for three seconds," says Frank. "Then you know it's a good one." You'll also get less caffeine in an espresso than you will in brewed coffee. "Espresso is the extract, the richest part of coffee," Frank continues. "With regular coffee you're getting a bigger dose of coffee and caffeine.“

CoffeeGeek - Espresso: Espresso Blends, Request for "espresso roast" second opinion (#)

„He stressed that his coffees were "estate" coffees and all arabica.  When I asked for small quantities of  decaf espresso beans to try, he explained that while he had a few coffees that he sent to be Swiss water treated, there was so little caffeine if most of his coffees that I didn't need to use a decaf.   Specifically, that robusta coffees are  94% caffeine free (CF) and arabicas are 98.5% CF because they are grown at elevation in rainy areas and the rain washes the caffeine out. (huh??).“

BBC NEWS | Health | Coffee knocks out women's pain (#)

„Psychological studies have suggested that men tend to focus on their senses during pain, while women have a far more emotional response, making it harder for them to cope. However, when the women were given 250mg of caffeine - equivalent to a double espresso, their tolerance improved. Afterwards, they were able to keep their arms in the bucket for significantly longer. Ed Keogh, who led the study, said that increased blood pressure, a side-effect of consuming caffeine, might be behind the improvement.“

CoffeeGeek - Artistry in a Cup, Part One (#)

„You heard me right: a properly crafted double shot of espresso has about one third to one quarter the caffeine content of a typical 12oz mug of Folgers. How is this possible? The brewing time is a big factor, but the beans are an even bigger one: high grade arabica beans, the kind of beans I use 90% of the time, have less caffeine than the beans typically used in Folgers, or Maxwell House, or most grocery store coffee - be it whole bean, ground, or instant.“

Tea & Coffee 11/00 - Stamping “International” On Espresso Coffee (#)

„The espresso list is far more numerous. The house blend actually seems something of a token to those who expect to find one, otherwise all the espressos are carefully chosen single origins from Costa Rica, Brazil, Colombia, Mexico, Java, Kenya (one of the Boot secrets, as they cherish it for its relatively light acidic quality), Ethiopia, Panama (from the Ruiz plantation), Haiti (caffeine-free) and an Indonesian Celebes Toraja Kalossi.“

illy caffè North America (#)

„FALSE: The illycaffè blend is obtained by carefully selecting from different sources the best Arabica beans, which have a richer taste and a lower caffeine content than the lesser prized (and less expensive) Robusta beans. Because a cup of espresso takes no more than 30 seconds to brew, less caffeine, which is soluble in water, is extracted than in drip coffee—which takes anywhere from 5 to 7 minutes.“

Fresh Cup Magazine (#)

„Faces lit up at the first sip of a shot that maybe they had never thought of as making a good espresso. Everyone agreed at the end of the first morning, our heads spinning around us somewhere on the level of an ethereal caffeine buzz, that this is yet another amazing tool in understanding not only your espresso blend, but the great tastes coffee has to offer.“

The Coffee Review - the world's leading coffee buying guide (#)

„The average cup of American-style coffee contains about 100 to 150 milligrams of caffeine; a properly prepared demitasse or single serving of espresso 80 to 120 milligrams. The average cup of tea delivers about 40 milligrams; the average chocolate bar about 20 to 60. A 12-ounce bottle of cola drink contains 40 to 60 milligrams, about as half as much as a cup of coffee.“

„But I don't drink instant coffee. I drink espresso (a low caffeine drink) made from naturally low caffeine 100% arabica beans I roast myself to levels that don't allow some of the caffeine to come out of the grinds. Does that make sense?“
