Is there more caffeine in espresso than drip, or French Press?

Frequently Asked Questions about Caffeine
Focus not on the brew method but on the amount of ground coffee used to make what you drink. Caffeine is easily percolated out of the ground coffee into the cup, so the amount of caffeine tends to be a direct result of how much coffee is used to prepare the beverage. Some people use little coffee, make weak dribbly espresso and get little caffeine. So a certain brew method isn't necessarily stronger than another. Many more information sheets..

Does espresso have too much caffeine?

A cup of espresso has more concentrated coffee flavour and should not be confused with caffeine content. The light brown foam that floats on top of an espresso is known, in Italian, as the “crema”. Distinguished by its caramel-colour, the “crema” is the essence of authentic espresso. The crema carries a variety of flavours that comprise the coffee bean.
