Hmm. A coffee table. Fancy that! > A single cup > of drip coffee (even freshly made) has around triple the > caffeine of an espresso. There's a good description here of the Ethiopian coffee ceremony, and how they roast and make the coffee: http://www.plan-international.org/wherewework/eastafricaeurope/ethiopi a/about/kaffa/ This is, in my experience, the most caffeinated coffee you can have. 3 demi-tasses of coffee made this way will keep you buzzomg for days, literally. If you can't get to Ethiopia I know there are a lot of Ethiopian communities in the USA and it's worth going to a restaurant to experience this for yourself. Strangely enough, I don't buy Ethiopian coffee (eg Sidamo or Harar) because the beans are not roasted in the same way and are rather bland for my taste. But I have drunk coffee in Sidamo province (at Awassa) and in Harar itself, and it's an entirely different thing altogether. Harar is a wonderful place, incidentally. Selamte!
