Which coffee has more caffeine-espresso or Italian roast?

This is a poorly formed question. I am no expert, but as I understand it, espresso (misspelled in the question) refers to a brewing process, and Italian roast refers to a roasting process. So it's possible to use an Italian roast coffee in both drip or espresso coffee, and it's possible to make espresso using lighter roasts. The lighter the roast, the higher the caffeine content in the beans. Intuitively, this makes sense:roasting burns off the caffeine. This may be somewhat offset by the fact that a darker roasted bean gives up its caffeine more readily in the brewing process. Like I said, I am no expert. Many coffee vendors produce a variety called "Italian roast" and also a variety called "Espresso" or "Espresso Roast." These are marketing terms, and it's the vendor's choice which is roasted longer. An interesting, and related question is "which has more caffeine: espresso or drip coffee?" For the identical amount, variety, and roast of coffee bean, the answer is drip coffee. It's in contact with the beans far longer, so it leaches out more of the caffeine. For one Starbuck's espresso shot vs. a 5 oz. serving of Starbuck's house blend, it's probably about 80 to 100 mg. caffeine for the former, and 115 to 125 mg. for the latter. Remember, though, that people order a Tall (12 oz.) or even Venti (20 oz.) at The Buck, and typically get 2 or 3 espresso shots in their lattes. So it's almost certain that the drip coffee has more caffeine. I have also heard rumors that they have different half lives; that is, an espresso shot will hype you up faster but leave your system faster. I have no idea if it's true. Hope this helps, --A coffee drinker
