A quick search gives these numbers - which seem about right based on what I have read before. Note the instant values are actually quite low - however there is a huge dependance on how much you actually put in the mug.

Espresso 40-90 mg / 30 ml shot
Drip coffee 75-125 mg / 250 ml cup
Instant coffee 20-40 mg / 250 ml cup
Tea 10-50 mg / 250 ml cup
Energy drink 80 mg / 250 ml can
Cola drink 49 mg / 375 ml can

(but I can't drink instant either - tastes like paint to me).

I am ok then, Cafelua and Tia Maria are not in the list :)

Actually also those figures above do not tell the whole story. Often tables used are double shot for espresso. Also I know many people that have a lumped instant spoon or 2 spoons of instant to get the flavour they want....so it makes comparrsion hard. For a more informed view of the instant v espresso world re caffeine search www.coffeesnobs and then au...

here is an example of where its been dealt with coffeesnobs.com.au/YaBB.pl?num=1263562214/12#12

I will fix my profile - been slack.

As for the amount of caffeine in a shot, my shots are ristretto, so you dont get the tail end Charlie bitterness of a shot that is starting to blond out and I also get a lot less caffeine that those stats above suggest.

I hate to think how much one of those units would be worth ? I lookeed into a inbuilt coffee machine when we got our kitchen done up but $2000 was a bit hard to justify. So instead the missus got fancier cupboards and I put a deposit on a new rifle.

PM me your address and phone no mate so i can see just how western subuirbs you are. My parents are at Kenmore and sister at Ippy.

Me on the otehr hand... I'm in paradise.

Well no, not really, Redcliffe.

Mmm ristretto.

Hey Ean Good to see you hard at it.Hope the prawn gods drop heaps on you soon.How about posting a photo of your boat.We've all heard about and some have tasted your prawns so let's see the monster that catches them.
Stay safe and well

Cola drinks are high in caffeine as well. If you wanted to quit smoking you should go cold Turkey. However with Caffeine it is best to cut down gradually.
I drink 3 very week cups of Coffee--1/4 teaspoon coffee only, with just one level teaspoon of sugar, and I am going to the toilet every half hour.

I used to put 8 teaspoon of sugar into a coffee, which I rarely drink now, and have cut down to one sugar per large cup.

4 cups a day does me....followed by about 25 beers...is that too many? Coffees that is.....
