 Posted Aug 4, 2004 by Gnomon [See A60420098 for details of new sign-in system] No it isn't. It looks very strong because of all the coffee grounds in it, but it is actually only about half the strength of espresso. You can boil the beans as much as you like but the caffeine won't all come out unless you use pressure, which is the principle the espresso machine works on. The strongest coffee of all is called "ristretto". It is made by turning on the coffee machine but not letting it run for very long. The strongest blackest coffee comes out at the start and this is served in half an espresso cup.
