No. A shot of espresso has about 80-100 mg of caffeine, whereas a cup of regular coffee has 100-135 mg. Since the servings of espresso are generally much smaller than coffee, the content of caffeine per mL is often higher than a cup of coffee, but between a shot of espresso and a cup of coffee, the coffee has more.

∙ 12y agoIn most cases it has. This is because espresso is extracted in that way to keep coffee aroma and taste completely. Also, we use much less water for espresso than for regular coffee, why caffeine level is usually higher per 1oz of coffee.

How much caffeine is there in a shot of espresso versus a cup of regular coffee?
The answer to what has more caffeine really depends on your perspective: If you are looking at caffeine from a volume perspective, espresso has more - about 65 mg/1 oz. But if you are comparing regular coffee (6-8 oz), you are looking at about 200 m of caffeine. In simple terms: In the morning, if you down a large coffee you will have consumed almost three times more caffeine than if you had thrown back a quick espresso.

What Starbucks drink has the most caffeine?
Americanos and regular coffee have about the same amount of caffeine, which is more than any other drinks such as lattes, frappucinos, teas, etc. You can add extra shots to any drinks...I'd say a black eye (regular coffee with 2 shots of espresso) would be your best bet.
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

What is regular coffee?
By regular coffee I assume you mean Arabica coffee, brewed using espresso methods? Robusta, on the other hand, is poor quality coffee.. made for instant coffee. Robusta coffee plants can be harvest several times a year and they can be grown at lower altitudes, making it easier to produce Robusta beans. Arabica coffee, much higher quality, can only be harvested once or twice a year and is grown at great altitudes. Arabica coffee is what most cafes would use Roasting methods differ, the lighter the roast the more caffeine and the milder the flavour. The Darker the roast the less caffeine but the stronger the flavour. Espresso coffee consists of espresso shots (30ml) and milk or water to preference. Espresso is very hot water dripping through a filtered basket filled with coffee, this method requires the water to run through the coffee at an even pace, distributing evenly throughout the coffee. When done correctly an Espresso coffee should extract between 23-27 seconds and leave a nice layer of crema (hazel/golden foam) on top. There is a great deal more to say on coffee. So much so that I could have you reading for hours. This question was not entirely specific but I hope I helped

What is the difference between coffee espresso and regular coffee?
Normal "American coffee" is brewed by mixing the grounds of roasted coffee beans with hot water, allowing the mixture to steep briefly, and then straining out the coffee grounds. This is an extremely simple process. "Regular coffee" usually means an 8 ounce cup of American coffee with a teaspoon of sugar, and a small amount of milk or cream mixed in. and Espresso can be made with the same coffee beans, and they can be roasted in the same way as for American coffee, although sometimes superior coffee blends - mostly Arabica - are used (because the resulting drink is more concentrated, and the flavor of inferior coffee will be harder to ignore), and sometimes darker roasts are used in espresso for a more intense flavor.
