Espresso doesn’t just have a high concentration of caffeine, it also has a high concentration of every other part of the coffee bean.

Yeah caffeine content for something you could measure but I was more talking about flavor. Shit beans are very common in the US but we also use more water and fewer beans so even when you get good coffee it just feels a bit diluted, even black. At least from restaurants and cafes, I’m perfectly happy with most home brewed coffee here as long as it’s not like foldgers from a clock/coffee maker combo, even some of cupped Keurig-like stuff is okay. I feel like our cold brews are decent too.
