You can get an espresso at *$, but it would be about the same as trying to get a steak at McDonalds. *$ is better suited for their overpriced double Venti Latte Foo-Foo Mocha Capiquinos or whatever they're calling them now.
Hmmm everyone thinks Espressos have more caffeine then Drip Coffee... but you'd be wrong...
You see... With Espresso, the water goes thru the Grounds way too fast to pick up as much as Drip Coffee Makers.
The water in Drip Coffee has more contact time with the Coffee grounds. Hence more caffeine.
I found this out long time ago... I was in the Espresso trap also... Sure it's strong, but it is Weaker...
Believe it....or Not
up to you...
