Ive got to get that caffeine hit hold the coffee, Ill take an espresso instead.
You decadent coffee shops types, with your beatnik ways and your slam poetry, slamming your espressos down with a near religious fervour. If you only knew those tiny little cups dont really contain the concentrated essence of your caffeinated god. No, an espresso a thick, creamy and above all teeny-weeny cup of coffee brewed through forcing very hot, pressurised water through finely ground coffee beans has more caffeine per unit volume than a bog standard cup of coffee, but far less of that unit volume in its teeny-tiny muglet. An espresso will typically provide a hit of 120 to 170mg of caffeine, while a drip-brewed coffee of normal human size will contain 150 to 200mg of caffeine and lasts far longer, leaving you more time to sit and look mysterious in your new beret and pencil moustache. No, weve not been to a coffee shop since the 1950s. Why do you ask?
