Espresso Potential (#)

  „Espresso cup - The espresso cup should be pre-heated from a source other than the espresso machine.  Filling a cup with water from the espresso machine prior to brewing the espresso will lower the temperature of the water in the boiler and the espresso extraction will be uneven.  The espresso cup should have thick walls and a narrow mouth to retain heat and aroma, respectively.“

  „ The straight shot you order should be extracted directly into a warmed demitasse cup and served immediately. The demitasse cup should be pre-heated on top of the espresso machine or filled with hot water to keep the straight shot warm and prolong the crema. A straight shot in a "to-go" cup will cool quickly and should be drunk immediately.“

Peet's Coffee & Tea

  „Fine coffees at any degree of roast contain roughly the same amount of caffeine (about 100 mg per cup). A single shot of espresso, while it may taste "stronger,"contains less caffeine than a regular cup of coffee (only about 70 mg.) because it is made with less ground coffee.“

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

  „Few, if any, studies report negative effects from doses of caffeine under 300 milligrams a day. Since the average cup of coffee (or single serving of espresso) contains about 100 milligrams of caffeine, one could infer from this evidence that anyone should be able to drink about three cups of coffee a day and enjoy the benefits of caffeine with none of the drawbacks. Such a figure assumes, of course, that you do not also consume quantities of cola drinks, chocolate bars, and headache pills. This is a conservative estimate, however.“

Fresh Cup Magazine

  „   What is remarkable about a properly made espresso is that the maximum flavor is extracted from ground coffee while much of the caffeine and excess acids are left behind. The high pressure at which extraction is done and the small volume of water passing through ground coffee account for this feat.“
