I was thinking about getting a gold mesh filter for my drip machine, I might hold off now after hearing your results. Or I might just try it anyways and live dangerously.

I have gold mesh filters, but prefer the unbleached paper, as the mesh allows a fine sediment through which upsets my stomach. The many different kinds of equipment that can be used to make our favorite beverage are fascinating and beautiful, and my collection is far from complete. I enjoy decorating my living and dining areas with the brass, glass, copper, chrome & stainless steel.

I know a few readers do. I have the next poll already ready to go, but you might see that one in the near future. That would be an interesting poll. I know a few readers do.

Or at least want to try. Add the Bialetti to my list of things to try. However, now that I think about and the caffeine is kicking in, I think it was already there.

The amount of caffeine in a shot of espresso is generally about the same as a cup of coffee. BUT, a cup of coffee is about three or four times the volume of a shot of espresso. In regards to the amount of caffeine in dark roast compared to light roast, it is true that darker roasts generally have less caffeine by volume. Robusta coffee beans hold about twice as much caff as the more tasty Arabica, and some espresso blends have robusta in them to create more crema. It is also not a hard and fast rule that you would use a darker roast for espresso. This is a generality, and some parts of the world prefer light roasts for espresso. I like it all :) Hey Devon.

Because from what I understand, the darker the roast (in the case of espresso roast, this is pretty dark), the lest caffeine; conversely, the lighter the roast, the more caffeine.

Might be worth the next poll being "do you have a burr grinder"? =) “Lil Starbucks Barista, N A Lil Delonghi”

I didn't want to just buy and El Cheapo model, but I couldn't afford the $2K for a dream machine either. I ended up buying one that retails for about 475, but got it much cheaper. I'll let you know how it turns out! I love espresso, and I'm afraid I'll be overdosing on the caffeine...one day at a time ;) I finally ordered one!
