[Leica] Less Bang for Your (*)Bucks

[buzz.hausner at verizon.net (Buzz Hausner)]

Roasting coffee beans causes the break-down of caffeine molecules.  The
longer you roast, the less caffeine per unit of beans.  Espresso beans
are generally roasted to within a mere smidgen of palatability.  Ergo,
less caffeine per measure of coffee than one might expect to find in
other brews.  Think of it like developing film...

Mine is definitely >100C. It is a Krupps maker. Inasmuch as caffeine is 
only water soluble in HOT water, I'm surprised to hear that it extracts 
less caffeine. I suppose that the reduced time on task might reduce the 
ability to extract as much.
