How many cups of coffee are equal to one shot of espresso?
Posted by scottparat on 08 Mar 2010 | Tagged as: Coffee Questions
I’ve read that the health benefits in coffee are only realized at levels of 4+ cups a day. I drink espresso, how does that convert in to cups of coffee?

It’s hard to say. We do know this: "Strong coffees (dark roasted) actually have less caffeine that a light roasted coffee. Darker roasts have less caffeine because they stay in the roaster longer and additional heat burns out more of the caffeine as well as the natural bean flavors. How about that shot of espresso? It too has less caffeine that a cup of brewed coffee. The reason is that water passes over the espresso grounds very quickly and one of the last things to be extracted is the caffeine. Hence less caffeine in espresso than a cup of brew coffee."<br />

Espresso actually has less caffeine than regular coffee: Drip coffee has about 100mg of caffeine in a six-ounce cup. A double shot of espresso has about 50mg of caffeine. Of course, the espresso cup is small, so if you drank espresso from a regulation-sized coffee cup, you’d probably be getting a bigger dose of caffeine, but only by volume, rather than by content.
