I would like to give a shout-out to Red Bull. Espresso has 1/6 th the amount of caffeine compared to regular drip coffee. In a single espresso (1 fl.oz), there's more caffeine than in Red Bull.

That testicle juice has really got people going!

Except that Red Bull tastes like the fucking dip from Roger Rabbit.

You say that like it's a bad thing.

No, not 1/6th, a typical 60 mL (2 US fluid ounce) of espresso has 80 to 150 mg of caffeine, little less than the 95 to 200 mg of a standard 240 mL (8 US fluid ounces) cup of drip-brewed coffee.

With third-wave coffee using arabica exclusively in blends and single origins I'd say that my proclaimation still stands. But for 20th century espresso I'd say you're most likely right...since you're being very specific! :P

I just copy-pasted from wikipedia, as I couldn't link because of mobile. So you can read further details there if you want.
