O.D.ing on espresso...a noble goal. I heard once that the darker the roast, the less caffeine. If that’s true, several shots of espresso should be lower in caffeine than, say, three cups of coffee. Or, possibly, I have no friggin’ idea what I’m talking about.

I’ve heard the same thing, from a coffee roaster. To illustrate, he gave me a raw coffee bean to gnaw on.
Very soon after, I had a full-blown caffeine buzz.
