    One serving of drip brew coffee has 107 mg of caffeine while one serving of espresso has 77. A serving of instant has about half the content of brew at 55 mg per serving.

    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.

    Espresso gets you the most caffeine for the least liquid...yes, a cup of coffee has more but you also need to drink the whole thing compared to just a shot of espresso.

    Energy drinks tip the scales, though.

    Ounce for ounce espresso has more.
