Dr_Flash_Amazing Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 First of all it's "espresso". Secondly, and more to the point, figure about two tablespoons of ground beans per 8 oz. cup of coffee or shot of espresso, which is about 75-100 (or so) milligrams of caffeine. That's probably like a couple handfuls of them chocolate-covered jobbies. 'Course, there's some caffeine from the chocolate, too, but who knows how much (probably on the interweb somewhere). Still, you're probably getting about as much caffeine from a mouthful of choco-spro beans as you might from, say, a packet of PowerGel, and the beans don't taste like Elmer's Glue with Strawberry Qwik in it!

willstrickland Posted November 19, 2003 Share Posted November 19, 2003 Chocolate Covered Espresso Beans: 3-5mg Regular Cup of Joe: 90-150mg Shot of Espresso: 100mg Source: Caffeine Stats 30 to 50 beans approximately equals a cup...maybe the sugar in the chocolate makes it seem like they're stronger?
