Anyone drink 12oz glasses of espresso?
Anyone drink 12oz glasses of espresso?
Considering making 4-5 shots of espresso in the morning then just filling up a full size coffee mug so it can last throughout the morning.
Anyone have experience with this? Good idea or heart attack speedrun?
Have you tried just making an Americano? Im a fan of strong coffee and thats what I do in the mornings.
I made what I call a Dirty Americano = two double shots of espresso (instead of adding hot water to espresso), in my espresso machine.
We use espresso grounds in our coffee maker, so we drink Americanos by default.
Not to be "that guy"... but no. Using espresso grounds in a filter machine is not the same from an espresso shot with hot water added to it.
Espresso isn't a grind or a roast, it's an extraction method.
That's just way too much caffeine. My normal morning coffee is 10g of beans in a single shot.
Sigh, stupid Imperial units.
354ml of coffee is quite a bit, even with strong robusta local coffee I don't do more than 180ml on average, and 4-5 shots sounds like a lot. I suppose if your body can take it, that's fine, but I do wonder if it'll taste like ass after an hour or so; won't it get cold?
A large latte has four shots, it's not a lot for the typical coffee addict these days.
I mean, it's just a lot of caffeine. I'm sure some people have no problem, but others will be off the walls or just sick. What's your typical caffeine intake? If you just want a hot drink to sip on for longer, try a couple shots of espresso and top the mug off with hot water for an Americano.
Around 3-4 12oz cups of medium-strength ish drip coffee typically, maybe more on busier days.
That's around what I do, either at home with my Aeropress or when I go to my favorite coffee place, a six shot iced espresso.
I only feel jittery if I drink too much at once, and almost never want more.
Of my at home mugs, sometimes I'll have a second but not always.
And I don't have any problems sleeping.
Don’t hurt yourself there!
My regular morning brew is a 300ml moka pot in a mug with frothy milk. According to this I'm taking about 516mg of caffeine each morning, without spacing it out.
I have owned that thing for over a decade and have always treated it as a single serving device. I think FDA's wisdom is mostly a guideline, and nothing beats simply knowing your own tolerance.
