which has more caffeine coffee or espresso?

The average single shot of espresso (made with arabica) contains between 45 and 70 mg of caffeine. A 12 ounce cup of instant coffee can have as much as 350mg of caffeine.

However, since espresso doesn't refer to a type of coffee, but rather the brewing method used to make it, how much caffeine in it will depend upon the beans used. Robusta coffee beans contain 40-50% more caffeine than arabica coffee beans. In Italy, many espresso blends are based on dark-roasted robusta.

Coffee has more caffeine.

Drip coffee uses a lot more coffee per cup than espresso, and also the cheaper coffee beans have a higher caffeine content that arabica beans. Water is also in contact with the coffee for much longer, giving higher caffeine extraction. All of which means that a cup of drip coffee can have up to 10 times the caffeine of an espresso.

i like cuban espresso coffee but i have heard that it has more than double the caffeine of regular coffee because the beans they use are different.

Espresso

Espresso is typically made with very dark roasted beans. The darker the roast, the less caffeine. Typically, more than half as much caffeine as a light roast.

They are about the same. Espresso is just a concentrated form of coffee beans. Thats why its served in a shot. So one cup of coffee is about the equivalent of one shot of espresso.

listen to mcdannel!!!

Espresso does have more caffeine than coffee, that's why it's served in a shot size unlike regular coffee in a cup size.

I know that coffee starts at 85 mg per serving and goes up from there. I am not familiar with all of the other hoaky coffee concoctions out there.

I have always wondered since so many people love their coffee and they have coffee flavored alcohol and ice cream and yogurt why don't they like the idea of coffee flavored jello?

Espresso is coffee lol!

It is just condensed.....

Espresso wins hands down! Loaded with caffine! (one coffee shop down here makes one for five bucks called an 'Insomniac'.)
