Home Espresso FAQ (#)

  „A darker roast also tends to reduce caffeine content (this topic really gets people excited on the coffee newsgroups!) Fine Arabica coffees contain one half of the caffeine found naturally in the cheaper Robusta beans that are used in supermarket coffees. (Using Robustas in espresso blends is another controversy that tweaks the regulars around the newsgroups.)     The results of chemical analysis performed by Lauk's Testing Labs in Seattle were recently posted at the LucidCafe Web site by David Schomer. Check out these numbers:     Espresso Ristretto (18.5 grams of finely ground coffee, 1 3/4 fluid ozs) 230 milligrams of caffeine.“

Robusta Coffees for Home Roast Espresso Blends

  „Why hand-sort it like arabica coffees? Well, for one reason only: high quality traditional espresso blends. But that represents a very small amount of the demand for robusta, and a very small part of the coffee market. I tried this out in our blends, roasted at a variety of levels and roast times.“

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.“

  „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?“
