CAFFEINE • Caffeine is found naturally not only in coffee and tea but also in about 100 other plants. Caffeine acts as a natural insecticide. It can kill insects, stunt their growth, impair their coordination, or ruin their reproduction capabilities. • A typical cup of drip-brewed coffee contains about 115 mg of caffeine. The same size cup of espresso delivers about 250 mg of caffeine. That’s why espresso is served in such tiny cups. Percolated coffee has slightly less caffeine than drip coffee. Decaffeinated coffee does not mean the coffee is caffeine-free. Brewed decaf has about 5 mg of caffeine. A typical cup of truck stop coffee will usually contain more caffeine than an expensive cup of designer coffee. That’s because the less expensive robusta beans from which inexpensive coffee is made are higher in caffeine than the more expensive arabica beans used in specialty coffee. • Methylene chloride is the chemical used to remove caffeine from coffee beans. The chemical is poisonous when inhaled, but because it evaporates at 120°f, it dissipates when the beans are roasted at 400°f. Any remnants still in the beans are rendered harmless by brewing the coffee at a temperature around 200°f. • Coffee increases alertness and enhances performance on certain tasks. Tests on drivers and typists prove that two cups of coffee can help. However, research shows it helps most if the drinker is bored or fatigued. It only boosts intellectual speed and not physical power. Furthermore, coffee seems to help extroverts more than it helps introverts. Studies show that people respond more to the caffeine they think they’ve consumed more than they respond to the amount of caffeine that they’ve actually consumed.
