| An espresso has more caffeine than a regular
cup of coffee. |
Generally, a serving of drip coffee has more
caffeine than a shot of espresso. In fact, in the
espresso brewing method, water is in contact
with the grounds for only 20-25 seconds and
therefore extracts less caffeine than methods in
which the water is in contact with the grounds
for several minutes. |
|
| Strong tasting coffee has more caffeine than
weak tasting coffee. |
Caffeine contributes no flavor to coffee.
Caffeine content is primarily a product of the
type of coffee beans used, the water to coffee
ratio, and the method of brewing. |
| Only one brand of coffee is mountain grown. |
The vast majority of the world’s coffee is of the
“Arabica” species and is best when grown at
high altitudes. |
| Coffee originated in Colombia or Brazil. |
Coffee originated in Ethiopia. |
| The term “specialty coffee” refers to
espresso-based drinks such as cappuccinos,
lattes, and mochas. |
The term “specialty coffee” refers to the highest
quality green coffee beans roasted to their
greatest flavor potential by true craftspeople and
then properly brewed to well established
standards. Specialty coffee is not defined by a
brewing method, such as the use of an espresso
machine. |
| Properly stored, ground coffee can remain
fresh for several weeks or even months. |
Once a roasted coffee bean is ground, oxidation
quickly damages the aromatics and most of the
flavor is lost rapidly. Roasted coffee should only
be ground immediately before brewing. |
| The term “specialty coffee” refers to flavored
coffee. |
Though flavored coffee is one of the many
options available to coffee drinkers, the truly
great specialty coffees of the world have very
distinct and satisfying flavor profiles and do not
require additives. |
| Specialty coffee is expensive. |
Even the most highly prized single-origin
estate grown specialty coffees sell for only
$12.00 a pound. Even if you brew coffee
exceptionally strong, you will still get at least 50
cups from that pound, making the cost of each
cup just 24 cents—cheaper than bottled water. |
