What is espresso?
According to Real Simple, espresso is concentrated coffee that is brewed from fine coffee grounds under high pressure.The result is a small serving measuring about one ounce (30 ml) with a strong flavor and distinctive texture.
One of the main characteristics of espresso is the layer of crema, the soft, golden foam that appears at the top of the drink.Even though it uses the same coffee beans as brewed coffee, the manufacturing process makes the espresso taste more intense.
According to USDA data, one shot of espresso (about one ounce) contains an average of 63 milligrams of caffeine.However, this amount can vary depending on the type of coffee bean and brewing method.
Some coffee chains even serve espresso with higher caffeine levels.At Starbucks, for example, one shot of espresso contains about 75 milligrams of caffeine.In one drink, the number of shots can also be more than one, especially in large sizes.
Brewed coffee vs espresso, which is higher?
When compared based on volume, espresso is clearly superior.Per ounce, espresso contains far more caffeine than brewed coffee.
However, the story is different if you look at it per serving.An eight-ounce cup of brewed coffee contains about 95 milligrams of caffeine on average.This means that, even though it is thinner, the total caffeine in one cup of brewed coffee can be higher than in one shot of espresso.
Safe limits for caffeine consumption
The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends a daily caffeine intake of no more than 400 milligrams for healthy adults.This amount is equivalent to about four to five shots of espresso or several cups of brewed coffee.
However, everyone’s sensitivity is different.Consuming caffeine for a short period of time can also make the effects feel stronger, especially if combined with other sources of caffeine such as green tea, diet soft drinks, or dark chocolate.
How to enjoy espresso other than drinking it straight
Espresso doesn’t always have to be enjoyed plain.This drink is also delicious as a mixture of lattes, cold drinks, and even coffee cocktails.One interesting option is an espresso slushy, strong espresso or coffee blended with ice and creamer for a fresh sensation.
Don’t have an espresso machine at home?Extra strong brewed coffee or re-brewed instant espresso powder can be a practical alternative for various coffee drink creations.
Ultimately, the choice between espresso and brewed coffee comes down to taste.Most importantly, enjoy coffee wisely and pay attention to your daily caffeine intake to keep it safe for the body.
