Did you know that coffee and food compliment each other? According to some research we came across, there are combinations of coffee and food that really relate to your taste buds. Imagine that! Just like what wine goes with what food, now we learn that it's the same for coffee. It makes ense to me that some things taste good together, like coffee & chocolate. Why not other foods? So, we would like to share some of that knowledge with you, to enhance that wonderful past time we call "Dining."

I guess I'll just drink dark roast cause I like the taste (hmmmph).

What your saying is basically correct in that the more time to extract, the more caffeine - but bear in mind that espresso has much less coffee to begin with to extract from, but much more concentrated. Again, the issue becomes - are you comparing caffeine levels "per beverage" or "per ounce" - because depending on what your comparing, they are both correct. - javajoe Mon, 24 May 2010 05:42:22 +0100 http://www.coffeechemistry.com/index.php/News/Caffeine/coffee-misconceptions-caffeine-content-in-espresso-vs-drip-coffee.html#comment-76 I have read elsewhere that espresso has less caffeine per ounce because the water goes through the grinds in a couple of seconds, whereas the water from percolated coffee takes about 20 seconds to go through. This would allow the coffee grinds to dissolve more caffeine while the water takes 20 seconds slowly percolating, than while the water is shot through in 2 seconds. - Giovanni Ciriani Mon, 24 May 2010 05:04:00 +0100 http://www.coffeechemistry.com/index.php/News/Caffeine/coffee-misconceptions-caffeine-content-in-espresso-vs-drip-coffee.html#comment-65 Hmm....although I have never seen any hard data on the Toddy, I would expect their to be 30-40% less than regular drip coffee. Turns out that caffeine is not very water soluble, though with hot water, its solubility increases significantly... - javajoe Wed, 06 Jan 2010 10:14:26 +0100 http://www.coffeechemistry.com/index.php/News/Caffeine/coffee-misconceptions-caffeine-content-in-espresso-vs-drip-coffee.html#comment-54 Great article, thanks for the clarification!! :-) - Tsua Tue, 01 Dec 2009 14:48:38 +0100
