  „Coffee roasts found in Italy vary from a very deep brown with a light sheen of oil on the surface of the beans in Southern Italy, to a mahogany brown with a dry bean in the north. Espresso coffee is always made from a blend of different varietal coffees, and traditional Italian blends always contain some robusta coffee to enhance the life of the crema. Crema, the red-brown foam that is the index of full flavor in espresso, traps the more noble flavors present in the roasted coffee in a cup, as well as offering the palate a pleasing, thick texture to the coffee. Crema should be very thick featuring a velvet mouth-feel, and it should remain in the cup for at least two minutes after brewing.“

  „The bean designated for an espresso is roasted just slightly longer than regular coffee beans so that the rich oils in the coffee are brought to the surface the bean. It is a surprise to most people to learn that this dark roast contains less caffeine than lighter roasts because the espresso process, hot water passing swiftly through ground coffee, leaves more caffeine in the grounds and less in your demitasse.“

  „Brewed teas have from 20 to 110 milligrams. In coffee, the caffeine content depends both on the type of bean and on the roasting and brewing process. Beans harvested from the "robusta" species are typically found in common name brands like Folgers and Maxwell House. As the name implies, this plant is robust; it will grow in marginal or unpredictable conditions, and this means lower production costs.“
