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...
another issue it the roast - darker roasted coffee (like espresso roast) is done to concentrate flavor but has the side effect of breaking down more of the caffine in the bean, leaving the coffe you brew from it (by any method) with a stonger flavor but less kick (which i why i order and brew by the gallon
)
