My favourite thing about this page is how it messes up my youtube autoplay and I find myself watching a documentary about the history of espressos

I work in quality at a roasting factory for a really big coffee company.
Most people think dark roast coffee has more caffeine but this is false, caffeine is actually cooked OUT of the coffee during roasting, so the darker the coffee the less caffeine it has, the lighter the roast the more caffeine it has.
Coffee beans have the most caffeine when they are green, but they are really hard and difficult to grind. We call barely roasted almost raw coffee that is brewed postum (after a grain based coffee substitute) and it tastes like peanut shells and looks kind of like tea... I drank it before... and it gave me a hell of a buzz! But the overwhelming majority of everyone thinks it taste horrible.
But yeah, an "expresso" roast is almost basically a made up thing, and dark expresso has very little caffeine. Your just drinking concentrated overly roasted coffee for a placebo. As a matter of fact most of the caffeine that was in the beans usually coat the roasters as it is cooked out and rises up through the air with the heat and collects on the outside of the equipment. It looks like a white fuzz and the first time I saw it I was appalled because I thought it was dust until someone explained it to me. Caffeine feels like ash when you rub it between your fingers and kind of dissolves on your skin.
And another coffee fact, french roast is sometimes referred internally to as trash coffee because it is often composed of left overs from various other dark roasts and personally I think it smells like an ash tray. Nobody likes it. Italian sucks too. But I'm biased because I like more fruity, nutty, citrusy flavors of super light roasts.

Just came across Spintria, you'll love that topic. Roman coins used especially for broth*ls, with the desired act minted on the coin

Baristas when they mess up an espresso: Egads! My roast is ruined!

[Fredorando]

i knew nothing about coffee, as my Mormon parents don't drink coffee and they didn't let me, but after watching this i feel like i know sooo much more now, thanks you.

P.s. as an adult I drink coffee when i need it for my job.

These might be reference material videos, but they still provide good content.

rarely in the management cares about extra shot option in coffee shops, they think its to add stronger flavor to lattes and other coffee beverages, but I got them basically to have more coffee for less, like having 4-6 extra shots over a double and paying less in total than two servings of double shots(8 shots vs 4), until any coffee shop noticed that and limits the number of extra shots one can ask 😂

Yoo I got the glass in the thumbnail that's a "Le Creuset"

[KowboyUSA]

So a shot of espresso has around 40% less caffeine than a cup of black tea.* Would not have expected that.

[some_dude_maybe]

Oh god, I got into this trap again... I tought it was a shitpost, just like with fordite video xd

Dark roast is often coffee of lower quality and with impurities that are roasted darker to hide the offsetting taste. The darker the roast the more intense the flavour profile, but also the more linear. Good quality coffee is never very dark.

Espresso. Espresso! What IS espresso? Is THIS an espresso? All this, and more…on Youtubepedia.

For the sweet tooth an "affogato" vanilla icecream drowned in espresso.

[keepthecircleclean]

I have heard of wasting the first bit of espresso that comes out of the machine as it is the most bitter, apparently this is called a "drawn espresso" anyone else heard this?

[Cunnysmythe]

Time to break out the espresso machine I think

[internet_best]

coffee with a cigarette is the right way

[jamesowens]

So I grind my coffe, put it in a cup and add hot water. Bloody hipsters...

[jordanle]

So an espresso "shot" isn't supposed to be drunk like a shot? False marketing! Espressos should be ashamed
