True. The more coffee beans are roasted (i.e., darker coffees), the less
caffeine there is. Also, since the water is forced through the grinds in
an espresso, it has less time to extract the caffeine, as opposed to
drip coffee where the water sits in the grinds longer. Just because
espresso has a stronger taste doesn't mean it's got more caffeine.
