UNFAIR THE MYTH OF ESPRESSO VERSUS CAFÉ FILTREĭo not be fooled: although the espresso turns out to be more caffeinated than the filter or drip brew, it should be considered that an espresso represents only 1 to 3 ounces per serving whereas a filter coffee symbolizes between 12 and 16 ounces of coffee consumed. Only the type of filter could have a slight impact on the caffeine concentration since certain types of filters will intercept the caffeine during a brew. Coffees brewed with hot water without any other pressure measurement, will have substantially the same level of caffeine. Solubility therefore undeniably increases with temperature. will result from 200 mg of caffeine for 666 mg (remember us here that 1 mg = 1ml). will amount to 16 mg of caffeine per 1 ml of water whereas for an infusion between 176 degrees F. For example, an extraction at 73 degrees F. The temperature of your brew is also very influential. It is therefore important to compare your coffee extractions to the weighing (number of grams) of your coffee cup and not to its volume (number of ounces). The solubility of caffeine is measured in terms of weight, not mass volume, symbolizing the ability of ground coffee to dissolve in hot water. In order to find out which coffee will give you the greatest caffeine buzz, let us give you a few notions of solubility. Since its discovery in 1819, caffeine has remained the most widely used psychotropic stimulant in the world. Please like and share too.Let's be honest: we all drink coffee for its effects.

Next week I’ll look at sleep in depth and the different methods of decaffeination and clear up whether there are actually petro-chemicals in all de-caff coffee’s as people say there are. I was surprised my sleep debt and the 30 athletes who I did this with had, and how much their performance increased when they serviced the debt. If you believe a coffee intake of 3 cups per day or more is not artificially effecting your level of alertness, try 1 cup per day for 2 days then go COLD TURKEY, when you feel tired… go to sleep!Įven if that means getting your head down for 20 minutes in the car (parked of course) or a super early bed time.

In the meantime here is a challenge for you.

Sleep hours and sleep quality are two different things and I’ll be posting about some of the ways to know whether your sleep is the absolute tonic it should be and sharing a few tips on how to make the most of your long wave sleep cycle and return to the energiser. You may say “well I drink tons of coffee and I sleep just fine”. There is no dose response and the same dose that first made us alert and unable to sleep will still do so even when we are trying to heard dopamine into our brain like we are selling Plasma tellies on black Friday. The problem is the more caffeine we take on the less effect it has on our dopamine receptors so in order to get the same high we have to have more and more…and more.

Adenosine or the ability to sense adenosine goes down, and alertness and a feeling of wakefulness goes up.

Dopamine goes up, as do the associated feeling of reward and a high.

So if you are still following me we have two factors here: Now its not that we produce more dopamine its just that we let less out of our brain so the total of free dopamine increases. I don’t want to over simplify this too much but lets just say that in most regions of the brain Dopamine acts as a “feel good” and is associated with feeling of reward. Human behavioural psychologist’s tell us this occurs due to the blocking the dopamine receptor. There is of course a “high” to be gained from ingesting caffeine and drinking the black stuff. People don’t simply drink coffee and other caffeinated drinks so they won’t fall asleep. When this reaction takes place adenosine builds up in the brain and we experience a lack of “wakefulness” and alertness and drift off to the land of nod.Ĭaffeine however blocks our brains ability to sense we are tired by blocking the adenosine receptor. In order to use ATP as fuel we need to break Adenosine from the phosphates (I always joke that adenosine and the phosphates sounds like a MO town band- and sometimes people laugh …I digress) The more movement and thinking you do the more ATP you will use. Those of you who did A-level biology may remember Adenosine is a component of ATP or Adenosine tri phosphate.ĪTP is the currency of all movement and thought. Here is the need to know.Ĭaffeine has a marked effect on Adenosine. However, there are mixed views about the effect of regular caffeine intake that we should consider. Specifically an excellent cuppa’ joe on a cloudy Newcastle morning whilst reading a good blog. Caffeine is one drug that I definitely can appreciate.
