Espresso is a type of coffee bean, espresso is bitter, and espresso is loaded with caffeine
These are all common misconceptions that many people often mistakenly believe about espresso. While drip coffee is a widely understood concept, espresso remains somewhat shrouded in mystery. Today, Vinbarista will clarify three common misconceptions about espresso.
Espresso is a Type of Coffee Bean
Espresso is not a type of coffee bean; it is a coffee brewing process in which water is forced through finely ground coffee under pressure. The truth is that espresso can be made from any type of coffee bean. Some coffee beans produce a much more flavorful espresso, but it's a brewing method, not a specific type of coffee bean. Espresso can be prepared using manual espresso equipment or, more commonly, specialized espresso coffee machines.
Espresso is Bitter
If you've ever had a poorly extracted espresso or one made from heavily roasted coffee beans, it may have been bitter. However, when prepared correctly, espresso should not be overly bitter. When done right, espresso is more like a fine wine with a diverse range of flavors, including chocolatey, sweet, fruity, nutty, earthy, salty, and many more.
Espresso is Loaded with Caffeine
When comparing caffeine content ounce for ounce, espresso does contain more caffeine than drip coffee. It's a bit challenging to standardize, but according to coffeechemistry.com, espresso typically contains between 30 and 50 milligrams of caffeine per ounce, while drip coffee contains between 8 and 15 milligrams of caffeine per ounce.
However, the significant difference lies in serving size. In the United States, a standard serving of drip coffee is 8 ounces, resulting in 64 to 120 milligrams of caffeine. A standard double shot of espresso is 2 ounces, resulting in 60 to 100 milligrams of caffeine. So, when considering the average serving size, the caffeine content in espresso and drip coffee is roughly equivalent.
And that's why Italians can enjoy downing 10 single shots of espresso a day, while 10 cups of drip coffee would leave most people feeling jittery and anxious!
